Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

The outer surface of body defenses is nonspecific, which means they do not attack specific pathogens. Skin is the very first immune system against nonspecific pathogens. Other than mucous membranes also act as a barrier to pathogens and produce chemical defenses.

Saliva also provides a non-specific external response as it contains mucus, antibacterial compounds and various enzymes to target bacteria and other pathogens.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

All living cells must maintain homeostasis or internal stable conditions in order to survive. Which of the following processes w
xenn [34]

Answer:

None of the options provided is correct but some are close

Explanation:

One of the ways in which a cell maintain homeostasis is by regulating what goes in and out of the cell through the cell membrane (which is a semi-permeable barrier). The amount of water is highly regulated by the cell in this case so as to regulate osmosis (movement of water molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration). Other substances regulated are oxygen and carbon dioxide.

NOTE: The cell <u>does not create water molecules neither does it use carbon dioxide to maintain homeostasis</u>, it rather regulates these two compounds.
