(strip cropping) cultivation of crops in strips following the contours of the land to minimize erosion.....
A trait that can mask another trait is known as a dominant trait.
Answer:
Receptors are highly specific and only have high affinity for those ligands for whom they are specific.
Explanation:
Receptors are proteins that receive a stimulus or bind a ligand and mediate effects via receptor effector system.
Receptors are macromolecules that are highly specific.
The affinity between the ligand and the receptors is determind by the disassociation constant Kd.
The receptors produce maximun effect when an appropriate specific stimulus is present.
Different recptors types are present for different ligands.
For example, muscrinic receptors are specific for acetycholine and adrenergic receptors are specific for adrenaline/nor adrenaline.
It is important to know the specificity so that the body remains in a state of balance.
I'd say, ina general way, that the most imporant cells in defense against parasitic organisms are definitely white blood cels, the cells responsible for defeating antigens, pathogens and deseases.
Although these might be the most important ones in that specific task (defending against parasitic organisms), all the cells in the immune system, along with other non-cell things are important, since they all play a specific role indispensable in our immune system.
