Biology

marta [7]4 years ago

Our skin cells divide rapidly in order to maintain a protective barrier against infection.The outer skin layer is called the epidermis and contains mostly dead cells that contain keratin.Keratin is a tough fibrous protein found in hair,skin and calluses and acts as a protective coating.The epidermis cells are constantly undergoing mitosis so the outer dead cells containing keratin are rapidly replaced as they fall off, which occurs after so many days.Then the newer living cells start producing keratin,lose their cellular contents,then die and the cycle goes on.The skin acts as a barrier to infection,therefore,it's constantly renewed and repaired.

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-Yes--every species represents a resource that may be exploited by an array of parasites

Explanation:

Parasites are the organism which for survival depends on the resources of the host organism and utilize them to the extent that it could lead to the death of the host.

The interaction between the parasite and host proves harmful to the host but beneficial to the parasite.

A number of parasites exist for human species which can directly harm humans. Similarly, a large number of hosts exist for different species which belongs to another kingdom also like even the bacteria has a parasite called bacteriophage which utilizes the resources of the host.

This indicates that every species has some resources which can prove beneficial to another organism in the response of which they become host to a large number of parasites.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.
