Natural acquired passive immunity can result from the placenta transfer of maternal antibodies to fetal circulation.

What is passive immunity?

Passive immunity is disease protection given by antibodies produced outside of the individual's body. The immunity that is passive:

  • It is not necessary to have previously been exposed to a disease agent (either through infection or vaccination)
  • It is instantly effective.
  • Typically, it does not endure long (up to a few months)

Passive immunity is typically short-lived since the supply of antibodies is not replenished as it would be in someone whose immune system actively producing them.

Maternal passive immunity, also known as natural passive immunity, is immunity that is handed down from mother to child.

  • Antibodies transfer over the placenta to the unborn child and can provide protection against the corresponding infections in the weeks and months after delivery.
  • A newborn continues to get passive protection against disease after delivery via antibodies present in breast milk, particularly colostrum, the protein-rich milk produced in the first few days after birth.
  • Maternal passive immunity is essential for safeguarding newborns until their own immune systems mature sufficiently to do so.

Hence, the correct answer is option C

Explain how the adaptation to reproduce quickly is beneficial in bacteria's ability to develop resistance to antibiotics.
azamat
<h2>Resistance to antibiotics </h2>

Explanation:

Bacteria are single-celled organisms usually found all over the inside and outside of our bodies

  • Antibiotic resistance is the ability of bacteria or other microbes to resist the effects of an antibiotic
  • Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria change in some way that reduces or eliminates the effectiveness of drugs, chemicals, or other agents designed to cure or prevent infections,the bacteria survive and continue to multiply causing more harm
  • There are two main ways that bacterial cells can acquire antibiotic resistance,one is through mutations that occur in the DNA of the cell during replication and the other way that bacteria acquire resistance is through horizontal gene transfer
  • Through the process of replication bacteria develop mutations that make them resistant to antibiotics
  • Bacteria with the resistant mutation have a better chance of survival against antibiotics
  • Resistant bacteria continue to multiply even when exposed to antibiotics
  • In horizontal gene transfer,antibiotic resistant genetic material is transferred between different bacterial cells which can happen in three different ways: transformation,transduction or conjugation

Dr. Graham exposes rats to a vanilla scent prior to receiving a food pellet in the left corner of their cage, but provides no fo
QveST [7]

Answer:

Food pellet

Explanation:

  • A learning process which results due to an associated between two stimuli, one a natural stimulus and the other an environmental stimulus is known as classical conditioning.
  • For classical conditioning, there is a neutral stimulus as well as the unconditioned stimulus.
  • The unconditioned stimulus is the one which triggers a response in the organism automatically that is naturally without any prior learning.
  • In the given example, the food pellet is the unconditioned stimulus.

Which process will be immediately inhibited if cytochrome c is unable to interact with cytochrome c oxidase
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Electron transfer to from cytochrome c to molecular Oxygen in the process of oxidative phosphorylation

Explanation:

Cytochrome c is a protein which is involved in the electron transport chain for the production of ATP molecules during then process of respiration. It a soluble protein found in the intermembrane space of the mitochondria. It receives electrons from ubiquinone at Complex III of the electron transport chain and transfers this electron to molecular oxygen through its interaction with complex IV or cytochrome c oxidase, reducing molecular oxygen to water.

If the interaction of cytochrome c with cytochrome c oxidase is inhibited, the process of elctron transfer to oxygen will be inhibited and, so ATP synthesis will cease.

Ultimately,  respiration will be inhibited resulting in death of the organism. For example, cyanide inhibits cytochrome c oxidase resulting in death of the organism poisoned with cyanide.
