Several anatomical and physiological adaptations have been developed by people that live at high altitudes. Option A) increased lung capacities and higher basal metabolic rates.

<h3>What are human's adaptations to high altitudes?</h3>

Several studies have been done to study how humans adapt to living in high-altitude areas.

Populations living in areas of high altitudes, like Andean areas, have genetically adapted to breathe and take oxygen.

These individuals have suffered anatomical and physiological changes that enhance oxygen uptake and transport, making them more efficient.

Among these adaptations, their lungs got significantly larger in volume, while vessels, veins, and arteries volume, dilation, and constriction have adapted to get higher oxygen utilization and transference.

In these populations, gene sequences are involved in vascular control, metabolic hemostasis, and erythropoiesis.

The correct option is A)  increased lung capacities and higher basal metabolic rates.

Infection occurs when the host is exposed to pathogens. what type of pathogen uses the cell's metabolism, and replicates itself
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer: Infection occurs when the host is exposed to pathogens. virus uses the cell's metabolism, and replicates itself while destroying the cell or changing the cell's genetic makeup.

Explanation:

  • A virus is a miniscule pocket of protein that contains genetic material.
  • Viruses pose a considerable challenge to the body’s immune system because they hide inside cells.
  • This makes it difficult for antibodies to reach them. Some special immune system cells, called T-lymphocytes, can recognise and kill cells containing viruses, since the surface of infected cells is changed when the virus begins to multiply.
  • Many viruses, when released from infected cells, will be effectively knocked out by antibodies that have been produced in response to infection or previous immunisation.
  • Antibiotics are useless against viral infections.  So antiviral drugs work differently to antibiotics, by interfering with the viral enzymes instead.

Hence virus are the pathogen that use the cell's metabolism. And replicate itself while destroying the cell or changing the cell's genetic makeup. viruses are so simple that they use their host cells to perform their activities for them
