Asexual reproduction by zoospore formation takes place in Chlamydomonas. These reproductive units are called as zoospores because they are motile.

Biology : Human Health and Diseases T-Lymphocytes T. Thymus 8-Lymphocytes Burse of fabrocius (In Bifds) Based on these two type of lymphocytes there are two types of active immune system. (i) C.M.I.S. (Cell mediated immune system) or Cellular immunity (T-cells) (ii) A.M.I.S. (Antibody mediated immune system) or humoral immunity (B-cells) (i) Cell mediated immune system or Cellular immunity (C.M.I.S.) This immune system is based on T-cells. There are 4 type of T-cell (a) Helper T-cell (c) Suppressor T-cell When pathogens enter inside the body first macrophage interact with them and activates -cell by releasing cytokines or interleukins (ILS) or monokines. (a) Helper T-cell This activated helper cell stimulates the killer T-cell and B-cell and these killer T-cell \& B-cell start dividing and produce clone (group of similar cells) this phenomenon is called clonal selection. They produce lymphokines (messenger molecules) which cause accumulation of WBCs to the affected site. TH-cells also stimulate B-cells to produce antibodies and facillitate the action of other T-cells. (b) Killer T-cell : These cell or clone of these cell destroy the infected cells or target cell and kill the pathogen and also the cancerous cells by secreting Iymphotoxic substances and secrete lymphokines which attracts phagocytes. These are responsible for cell-mediated immunity. They also destroy transplanted, tumour cells and other foreign cells.

would be favoured energetically. The presence of arcatalyst would enhance the rate of peptide bond formation. Growing polypeptide chaln (Bex) The cellular factory responsible for synthesising proteins is the ribosome. The ribosome consists of structural RNAs and about 80 different proteins. In its inactive state, it exists as two subunits; a large subunit and a small subunit. When the small subunit encounters an mRNA, the process of translation of the mRNA to protein begins. There are two sites in the large subunit, for subsequent amino acids to bind to and thus, be close enough to each other for the formation of a Figure 5.13 Trans peptide bond. The ribosome also acts as a catalyst (23S rRNA in bacteria is the enzyme- ribozyme) for the formation of peptide bond. A translational unit in mRNA is the sequence of RNA that is flanked by the start codon (AUG) and the stop codon and codes for a polypeptide. An mRNA also has some additional sequences that are not translated and are referred as untranslated regions (UTR). The UTRs are present at both 5 '-end (before start codon) and at 3 '-end (after stop codon). They are required for efficient translation process. For initiation, the ribosome binds to the mRNA at the start codon (AUG) that is recognised only by the initiator tRNA. The ribosome proceeds to the elongation phase of protein synthesis. During this stage, complexes composed of an amino acid linked to tRNA, sequentially bind to the appropriate codon in mRNA by forming complementary base pairs with the tRNA anticodon. The ribosome moves from codon to codon along the mRNA. Amino acids are added one by one, translated into Polypeptide sequences dictated by DNA and represented by mRNA. At the end, a release factor binds to the stop codon, terminating translation and releasing the complete polypeptide from the ribosome.
