Phagocytic response is considered the most effective host defenses in combating S. aureus infection.

<h3>What is phagocytic response?</h3>

Phagocytosis is a type of cell response that plays a key role in the course of an immune response as well as in the remodeling of tissues and the healing of wounds. Professional phagocytes are specialized cells that can carry out this task quite effectively.

<h3>What is S. aureus infection?</h3>

It has long been known that S. aureus is one of the most significant germs that harm humans. It is the main contributor to skin and soft tissue infections such cellulitis, furuncles, and abscesses (boils). Boils are the most typical staph infection form. This is a pus-filled pocket that forms in an oil gland or hair follicle. Typically, the skin around the infected area turns red and swells. To treat staph infections, doctors frequently administer cefazolin, nafcillin, oxacillin, vancomycin, daptomycin, and linezolid. Vancomycin may be necessary for staph infections that are severe. This is due to the fact that a large number of staph bacterium strains have developed resistance to other common antibiotics.

Thus from above conclusion we can say that phagocytic response is considered the most effective host defenses in combating S. aureus infection.

Dimas [21]

Answer:

temporal reproductive isolation

Explanation:

The correct answer would be temporal reproductive isolation.

<u>Reproductive isolation</u> generally refers to series of biological mechanisms or processes that prevent members of different species from mating/fertilization or prevent the product of their mating to be invalid.

Some reproductive isolation processes prevent members of different species from mating or prevent fertilization as a result of mating. These processes are known as pre-zygotic reproductive isolation mechanisms.

Some other processes ensure that the product of fertilization (when it occurs) is invalid. These are known as post-zygotic isolation mechanisms.

<em>A good example of the pre-zygotic reproductive isolation process is </em><em>when closely related by different species bloom at different times</em><em>. This will prevent mating or cross-pollination to happen between the different species. This is known as temporal reproductive isolation.</em>

(what organelle is this) Passive transport is taking place across this thin cell covering causing the muscle cells to contract.

deff fn [24]

Answer:

This question appears incomplete

Explanation:

This question appears incomplete. However, <u>the cell organelle involved in transportation of molecules in the cell is the </u><u>cell membrane</u>. This cell membrane can be said to be cause of several forms of transportation in and out of the cell - this is because the membrane is a selective barrier. While some substances/molecules move through diffusion by moving with the concentration gradient (as in the case of passive transport, others move against the concentration gradient requiring energy to cause the transportation (as in the case of active transport).

tekilochka [14]

Select the correct statement about lymph transport.

Lymph transport is faster than that occurring in veins.

Under normal conditions, lymph vessels are very high-pressure conduits.

Lymph transport is only necessary when illness causes tissue swelling.

Lymph transport depends on the movement of adjacent tissues, such as skeletal muscles.
