What is a major problem with using foreign cells grown in culture for transplantation in humans?
soldi70 [24.7K]

The major problem with using foreign cells grown in culture for transplantation in humans is the host immune system would destroy such cells.

The body of your child is shielded from external invaders by the immune system. These include poisons, bacteria, viruses, fungus, and other types of germs (chemicals made by microbes). The various organs, cells, and proteins that make up the immune system cooperate with one another. Infections like measles, mono (mononucleosis), and the flu virus can also temporarily impair immunity. Additionally, unhealthy eating habits, alcoholism, and smoking might impair your immune system.

Antigens, which are proteins on the surface of the invading cells, are used by the immune system to identify invaders. Every substance or cell has a unique set of antigens, and every person's cells include "self-antigens" that are particular to that person.

. While Carl Linnaeus catalogued nearly all known organisms of his day, which major group of organisms did he not account for in
Blababa [14]

Answer:

Single-cell organisms

Explanation:

In 1735, Linnaeus introduced a classification system with only two kingdoms: animals and plants. Linnaeus published this system for naming, ranking, and classifying organisms in the book "Systema Naturae". In the epoch that Linnaeus created this system, single-cell organisms such as bacteria and protists were almost unknown. In 1866, E. Haeckel added a category including both bacteria and protozoa, thereby adding a category formed by single-cell organisms (different from animals and plants). During the 1900-1920 period, bacteria were classified as a separated kingdom named 'prokaryotes'. The current three-domain classification system was introduced by C. Woese in 1990. In this system, all forms of life are divided into three different domains: archaea, bacteria, and eukaryote domains (this last composed of protists, fungi, plants and animals).
