Which body system is responsible for protecting the body against infection?

Biology
1 answer:
Rainbow [258]4 years ago
8 0

Answer: The immune system

Explanation:

The immune system is a complex network of proteins and cells that defends the body against infection or any invasion. The human defense system in the body is actually made up of entire organs and vessel systems like the lymph vessels. The immune system is made up of organs that control the production and maturation of certain defense cells.

Initially, all living things are subjected to attack from disease causing agents. Even bacteria, so small that more than a million could fit on the head of a pin, have systems to defend against infection by viruses. This kind of protection gets more sophisticated as organisms become more complex.

What membrane activities requires energy from atp hydrolysis?
NikAS [45]

Answer:

active transport, like Na + ions leaving the cell

Explanation:

The active transport requires an energy expenditure to transport the molecule from one side of the membrane to the other, but the active transport is the only one that can transport molecules against a concentration gradient, just as the diffusion facilitated the active transport is limited by the number of transport proteins present.

Two major categories of active, primary and secondary transport are of interest. The primary active transport uses energy (generally obtained from ATP hydrolysis), at the level of the same membrane protein producing a conformational change that results in the transport of a molecule through the protein.

The best known example is the Na + / K + pump. The Na + / K + pump performs a countertransport ("antyport") transports K + into the cell and Na + outside it, at the same time, spending on the ATP process.

The secondary active transport uses energy to establish a gradient across the cell membrane, and then uses that gradient to transport a molecule of interest against its concentration gradient.
