Cytotoxic T cells attack target cells by doing what?
A)secreting a strong acid
B)secreting organic solvent
C)secreting free radicals
D)activating genes that trigger apoptosis
E)secreting mutant proteins

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cytotoxic T cells use a mechanism called apoptosis, which is programmed cell death, to destroy target cells. They activate genes that trigger this process in the target cell, leading to its death. Secretion of strong acid, organic solvents, and mutant proteins are not mechanisms used by cytotoxic T cells. While free radicals can cause damage and contribute to cell death, they are not a primary mechanism used by cytotoxic T cells.
