Monocyte/macrophages are two non-specific immune defenses. If you had no skin it would be pretty tough to roll around in the mud without getting an infection. Also, without the WBCs chillin in there to catch anything that happened to break through you would get an infection every time you get a paper cut.

Fevers may also slow down the reproduction of some bacteria and viruses. Whether the mechanism is as complex as fever and inflammation or as simple as physical barriers and phagocytosis, all nonspecific defenses provide the body with general protection against foreign invaders.

ivolga24 [154]

Speciation is the process by which new and distinct species are formed. One of the most important factors necessary for speciation to occur is the genetic isolation of two populations. This genetic isolation can, over long periods of time, cause these two groups to become genetically incompatible. Factors that can lead to this genetic isolation include geographic separation and hostility among population groups.

Describe the process by which coral polyps and algae create a coral reef.
xenn [34]
Coral reefs are built by coral polyps as they secrete layers of calcium carbonate beneath their bodies.  And inside each coral poly lives single-celled algae called zooxanthellae. So basically in simplistic terms, coral polys create coral reefs and algae is in coral polys which also goes into coral reefs when they are made.

Steroid hormones exert their action by ________. A. entering the nucleus of a cell and initiating or altering the expression of
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

The correct option is A. Steroid hormones exert their action by entering the nucleus of a cell and initiating or altering the expression of a gene.

Explanation:

Steroid hormones are derived from cholesterol and regulate multiple biological processes. All steroid hormones exert their action by crossing the plasma membrane and by binding with their respective intracellular receptors. They stimulate cell growth in a very different way, their lipophilic nature gives them the ability to cross lipid barriers, so, without the need for extracellular signals, these hormones can easily enter the cell, cross the cytoplasm and reach the nucleus. There they bind to specific receptors that are associated with DNA promoter regions, modifying their structure and promoting the expression of the genes under their control.
