How does the protein lactoferrin in breast milk help protect infants against harmful bacteria?

Biology
1 answer:
LenKa [72]4 years ago
7 0

Protein lactoferrin is present in human body and it is found in certain body fluids such as saliva, breast milk and urine. The main function of protein lactoferrin is to bind with and transport iron in the body. When an infant absorb iron in breast milk, protein lactoferrin attaches to any of the extra iron that the infant does not absorb and stops it from allowing harmful pathogens such as bacteria to grow in the baby's gastrointestinal tract. Thus, protecting babies from illness and infections.

A fox is a type of mammal that is related to dogs. How does a fox most likely respond to hot air temperatures in a way that ecto
sveta [45]

Answer:

By panting or breathing heavily.

Explanation:

<em>An ectothermic animal is one whose body temperature depends on the temperature of the external environment.</em>

The body of ectotherms regulates temperature depending on the temperature of the external environment where such animal finds itself.

Hence, when the temperature of the external environment rises as a result of hot air, the body of an ectotherm (that is homeothermic, that is, maintain a relatively constant body temperature irrespective of the temperature of the external environment) will adjust so as to keep its temperature relatively constant.

Dogs generally pant (breathe heavily) to bring their body temperature back to normal whenever it rises beyond normal due to rigorous physical activities or high external temperature.

<em>Hence, a fox will most likely pant in response to hot air temperature just like dogs.</em>

You are enjoying your vacation on the coast and decided to go snorkeling. Your tidal volume is 460 mL and breathing rate is 14 b
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Option

A. 6440 mL/min

B. 4340 mL

C. 3500 mL/min

D. 2940 mL/min

Solution

It is required to find the minute ventilation which is equal to the product of rate of breathing and the total amount of gas being inhaled or exhaled per breathe.  Let this minute ventilation be denoted by "V_f"

Thus,

V_f = TD * B_r

where TD is the tidal volume and Br is the rate of breathing

Substituting the given values we get

V_f = 460 *14 \\V_f = 6440

We will now reduce the air held in the conducting zone of respiratory system

Air held per breathe = 210

Total Air held

= 210 * 14 \\= 2940

Amount of fresh air one can breathe in and out every minute

= 6440 - 2940 \\= 3500

Hence, Option C is correct
