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.

We identify nucleic acid strand orientation on the basis of important chemical functional groups. These are the _________ group
Alina [70]

Answer: Option B) phosphate; hydroxyl; 3'

We identify nucleic acid strand orientation on the basis of important chemical functional groups. These are the phosphate group attached to the 5' carbon atom of the sugar portion of a nucleotide and the hydroxyl group attached to the 3'

carbon atom

Explanation:

For both RNA and DNA, chemical groups such as phosphate (PO3-) attaches to the 5' carbon of the pentose sugar (deoxyribose in DNA, ribose in RNA).

While hydroxyl group (OH) attaches to the 3' carbon atom of the pentose sugar.

Thus, a nucleic acid structure structure reveals a several repeating units of nucleotides where nitrogenous base links to a pentose sugar, who in turns is linked to phosphate group

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!! PLZ HELP ASAP!!
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

A) The outcome of the experiment is that accumulated best in section C. This is because 64 fish were in this section which is the largest amount.

B) one variable that was uncontrolled was that fish were not forced to go into a certain section. They had a chance to accumulate by themselves. If this was controlled, fish wouldn’t be able to adjust by themselves, they would be forced in a section they might not accumulate well in. Another uncontrolled variable would be amount of food you give them. This affects the result because if you don’t feed them, they will die. If you feed them too much, they over eat and die. C) The temperature can affect the physiology because if it is too cold for the fish, they will go to another section until they are warm. If it is too hot for the fish, they will go somewhere cooler.

Explanation:

I explained everything already. Please can I have Brainliest? I spent a long time doing research on this and this took 40 minutes so your welcome lol. I hope this helps you!!(can i have brainliest)❤️❤️

Discuss what is meant by heterozygote advantage and use sickle-cell anemia as an example
vodomira [7]
When a single copy of a disease allele doesn't result in a disease but instead is good for the person or organism that carries it, we say that allele has a heterozygote advantage. In other words this occurs when heterozyhotes have increased fitness over both homozygotes.  A good example is sickcle cell trait, which protects against malaria in heterozygotes, but causes a deadly disease in homozygotes.
