Question

______ are enzymes released by cytotoxic T cells that attack proteins in target cells during the process called apoptosis.

A. Lysozymes
B. Proteases
C. Perforins
D. Kinases

Answer 1

Granzymes are proteases released by cytotoxic T cells that induce apoptosis in target cells by entering through pores created by perforin(option b).

Step-by-step explanation:

The enzymes released by cytotoxic T cells that attack proteins in target cells during the process called apoptosis are known as granzymes.

Granzymes are a type of protease that enters target cells through pores formed by perforin and induces apoptosis in those cells. This process is utilized not only by cytotoxic T cells but also by NK cells in the immune system to control infections and prevent cancer progression.Therefore, the correct answer is B. Proteases.
