the correct option is E. (The leukocyte is a major component of the body’s defenses against disease)

Explanation: the leukocyte also called the white blood cells is one of the major types of the hematocytes. There are different types of white blood cells which are classified based on their functions and appearance, they include:

- neutrophils,

true, i don't really know what you're asking but from the info you provided im guessing the answer is true.

step 1: nitrogen fixation- conversion of atmospheric no₂ into forms useful to plants by lightning, bacteria, and cyanobacteria.

step 2: nitrification-process of converting ammonia to nitrite or nitrate.

step 3: assimilation-plant roots absorb new form of nitrogen.

step 4: ammonification-conversion of organic nitrogen to ammonia by bacteria involved in decomposition.

step 5: denitrification-bacteria turns the decomposed matter back into n₂o, which is released into atmosphere; repeat cycle.
