Which of the following substances does a cytotoxic T cell secrete to destroy a target cell?
Perforin!
Cytotoxic T cells can destroy cancer cells by means of a secretion called?
Cytotoxic T cells (also known as CD8+ T cells) can destroy cancer cells through a process called cell-mediated cytotoxicity. This process involves the secretion of perforin and granzymes by the cytotoxic T cells. Perforin creates pores in the target cell's membrane, allowing granzymes to enter the target cell. Granzymes are proteases that induce apoptosis (programmed cell death) in the target cell, effectively killing it. This mechanism is a crucial part of the immune system's ability to recognize and eliminate cancerous or infected cells.
What is another name for the galvanic cell?
A battery that produces electricity
What does the smooth enoplasmic reticulum do for the cell?
produces proteins for the cell
What cell division produces cells?
Meiosis
Which of the following substances does a cytotoxic T cell secrete to destroy a target cell?

Cell death caused by perforin and granzymes is caused by?
I think it may be caused by CTLs

What is cell division that produces sex cell?
meiosis
What are the results from a cell dividing?
