Staphylococcus aureus, or staph, is a bacteria that is commonly found in the nose and on the skin of humans. While it is typical

ly not harmful to humans, it is sometimes able to enter the body through an injury or broken skin, and get into the bloodstream. When this happens, it can cause a serious infection called sepsis. Sepsis can cause an individual to go into shock and bodily organs to stop functioning. Symptoms of sepsis include inflammation, fever or hypothermia, increased heart rate, and rapid breathing.
A microscopic image of staphylococcus aureus is shown.

Which immune system component initially results in the inflammation and responds quickly when Staphylococcus aureus enters the bloodstream?
complement system
phagocytes
Langerhans cells
B lymphocytes

The complement system will work first in the given scenario of Staphylococcus aureus infection, i.e., option A.

<h3>What is a complement system?</h3>

The complement system, also known as the complement cascade, is an immune system component that improves (complements) antibodies' and phagocytic cells' ability to clear microbes and damaged cells from an organism, promote inflammation, and attack the pathogen's cell membrane.

In the given scenario, when Staphylococcus aureus enter the body through an injury or broken skin, and get into the bloodstream then the complement system initiate the phagocytosis.

Thus, the correct option is A.

PART 1


1. The answer is low frequency electromagnetic waves are able to go around obstacles due to their larger wavelengths. This characteristic of lower frequency waves is due to their ability to diffract around obstacles such as buildings and hills. Therefore, they transmit over long distances unlike high frequency electromagnetic waves.

2. One disadvantage is interference. Electromagnetic waves of the same frequency transmitted at the same time will interfere with one other and therefore the signal will be lost or scrambled. Other electromagnetic waves such as microwaves are affected (interfered with) by weather elements.

3. Analogue signals are continuous signals with wave-like properties while digital signals are discrete signals or pulse (ons (1s) and offs (0s) that represent bits). Analogue signal is represented by a sine-wave while digital signal is represented by discrete squares waves.

4. Digital signals are less immune to eavesdropping unlike analogue signals. Analogue signal is also more prone to distortion unlike digital signal. Digital signals transmit more data than analogue signals. Digital signal draw less energy to transmit compared to analogue signal.

5. Broadcasting of TV is nowadays using digital signals due to the high number of available channels. Computers and the interne utilize digital signaling to transmit data. Controls systems such as radar system also use aspects of analogue waves. Sensors also utilize analogue waves especially transducers such as seismology equipment.


PART 2


1. One way is by sending radio waves to probes sent out in space to give them commands during exploration. Radio telescopes also pick up naturally-occurring radio waves from space and analyze the data to make conclusions about space and the astronomical objects.

2. Radio waves are used in communication by transmitting data over long distances. One example is its use TV transmission. Another is through military defense of airspace. The radio waves are used to detect enemy intrusion into restricted airspaces using radar.

3. It is common that signal from the environment will be in analogue signal format. The conversion to digital signals allows for the digital equipment in the telescope to interpret and analyze the data. Telescopes prefer digital equipment because they consume less power, handle more data, and are less prone to intrusion, and distortion, hence more secure to analogue equipment.

What are the six most common elements in all living things?
lilavasa [31]

Answer:carbon,hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulphur

Explanation:living things are characteristized by hierarchy in their organisation.macromolecules are made up of elements each with it's unique chemical bonds.

Within the cell, macromolecules are found in organelles ,which form the cells.the cells combines into tissues,which combines into organs .organs systems consists of similar functional organs.

living things commonly contains carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen,oxygen, phosphorus and sulphur.

How can scientists use anatomical structures and embryology as evidence of how organisms evolved?
Simora [160]
Embryology, the study of the development of the anatomy of an organism to its adult form, provides evidence for evolution as embryo formation in widely-divergent groups of organisms tends to be conserved. ... Another form of evidence of evolution is the convergence of form in organisms that share similar environments.

What is carrying capacity? what type of population growth does it affect?
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

As resources are depleted, population growth rate slows and eventually stops: This is known as logistic growth. The population size at which growth stops is generally called the carrying capacity (K), which is the number of individuals of a particular population that the environment can support.
