Acquired immunity is the type of immunity that exists when a person is exposed to an antigen and subsequently makes antibodies against the antigen.

Immunity is the defense mechanism of the nervous system to avoid pathogens affecting the body and making it sick. There are two major types of immunity: innate and acquired. Innate immunity is the kind of immunity present in the human body by birth. Whereas, acquired immunity is gained over time.

Acquired immunity specifically promotes the antibodies or lymphocytes to inhibit the action of pathogens when it encounters one. It is further categorized into two types: active and passive immunity.

Active immunity indulges in the primary response to a pathogen. It produces antibodies to fight against it and preserves some to fight against the same pathogen encountered for the second time. Passive immunity, in addition, involves the medications prescribed to enhance immunity.

To know more about acquired immunity, refer to the following link:

PLS HELP ME THANKS :) write a short paragraph evaluating the different methods of seed dispersal.
Schach [20]

Explanation:

There are five main modes of seed dispersal: gravity, wind, ballistic, water, and by animals. Some plants are serotinous and only disperse their seeds in response to an environmental stimulus. Because plants cannot walk around and take their seeds to other places, they have developed other methods to disperse (move) their seeds. Dandelion seeds float away in the wind

1. What is sustainable energy? 2. How do we currently use energy in Georgia? 3. Which types of fossil fuels could / should we us
devlian [24]

1. Sustainable energy is the one that meets the needs of the present without compromising the possibility of future generations to meet their own needs for energy. This is actually an effective way of producing energy that has a little harmful effect on the environment. 

There are three conditions that some energy must satisfy in order to belong to the group: 

- ecologically: clean, renewable

- social: available for everyone  

- economic: provides at least the minimum profit

Sustainable energy includes the use of renewable energy sources such as hydropower, wind energy, solar energy, wave energy, geothermal energy, biomass energy.


2. In Georgia, the most of energy consumes transportation and industrial production is the second energy consumer in the country. There are many industrial plants that consume a lot of energy such as food and beverages, tobacco, chemical, plastics, wood, machinery and metal industry. Energy consumption by the population is almost identical to the consumption by industry.



3. We should use less coal and petroleum because they are the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions, like CO2 from fossil fuel combustion. Combustion of fossil fuels also produces other air pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, volatile organic compounds and heavy metals which damage our environment.


4. We should use more solar energy, wind energy, and geothermal energy. These sources of energy are inexhaustible and free, and the most important characteristic of the resources is that they do not pollute the environment. Also, it is a better choice to build own renewable energy facilities than import costly fuels.


5. In my area, I would propose next renewable energy sources: biomass, wind and solar power. Here, there is a flat land and during the year we have a lot of sunny and windy days. There is huge potential for producing the kinds of energy and it would be economically rentable. Also, it is a forest area with the great amount of biomass, which could collect and use for energy production instead of rotting on the ground.


6. We could do a lot of things to decrease energy consumption, starting from simple things like turning off the lights, using energy efficient light options (LED bulbs), unplugging electronics which use standby power, choosing energy-efficient items, better insulation of houses etc. Also, we could less drive own cars and use more public transport or ride bicycles.
