Directly The immune system is designed to defend the body against foreign or dangerous invaders. Such invaders include
Microorganisms (commonly called germs, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi)
Parasites (such as worms)
Cancer cells
Transplanted organs and tissues
To defend the body against these invaders, the immune system must be able to distinguish between
What belongs in the body (self)
What does not (nonself or foreign) normal immune response consists of the following:
Recognizing a potentially harmful foreign antigen
Activating and mobilizing forces to defend against it
Attacking it
Controlling and ending the attack
If the immune system malfunctions and mistakes self for nonself, it may attack the body’s own tissues, causing an autoimmune disorder, such as rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto thyroiditis, or systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus).
An example of inertia could be when you are in a car and it stops. You know how your body suddenly jumps forward? That's inertia. Inertia is the tendency of a body to resist a change in motion or rest. In the same way, you jump backward when the car starts moving forward. So if you tried to play soccer or baseball without inertia, it would be difficult to score a goal or home run as the ball would try to resist changing direction.
Answer:
Catabolism
Explanation:
Catabolism refers to the metabolic pathways to break down the complex biomolecules into simpler substances and release the energy stored in their chemical bonds.
The catabolic reactions are oxidizing reactions and remove the electrons from the substances.
For example, cellular respiration is a catabolic pathway for glucose as it oxidizes glucose into CO2 and H2O. During aerobic cellular respiration, molecular oxygen serves as the terminal electron acceptor and is reduced into water.
Answer:
The cell was first discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665 using a microscope.
The first cell theory is credited to the work of Theodor Schwann and Matthias Jakob Schleiden in the 1830s.
Hooke had discovered plant cells -- more precisely, what Hooke saw were the cell walls in cork tissue. In fact, it was Hooke who coined the term "cells": the boxlike cells of cork reminded him of the cells of a monastery.
