What type of immunity exists even in the absence of a stimulus?

Biology
1 answer:
Evgen [1.6K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The correct answer is: adaptive immunity.

Explanation:

Adaptive immunity (also called acquired immunity) is one of the two parts of the immune system.

Unlike the innate immunity that responds to any pathogens, the adaptive immunity is highly specific and provides long-lasting protection because once the cells from adaptive immunity contact the antigen (any molecule that triggers an immune response) they become ready to fight them again later in life with a much more efficient approach - this is what is known as immunological memory and is the reason vaccines work.

Acquired immunity does not need a stimulus to exist, unlike innate immunity (the later only acts when there are pathogens involved).

The acquired immune system is mostly integrated by lymphocytes.

What genus of protists appears to contradict the statement that unicellularity restricts cell size?
Soloha48 [4]

The correct answer is D. Caulerpa

Explanation:

Protists are a type of unicellular organisms that are eukaryotic which means they contain a defined nucleus but that are not plants, animals or fungus. Considering protists only contain one cell in most of the cases they are small or restricted in size this includes Dictyostelium which are microscopic organisms that consume bacteria and plasmodium. However, in the case of Caulerpa, these are not limited to size as Caulerpa is a type of alga that has macroscopic cells and indeed in some cases can be around 3 meters long. On the other hand, Ulva is also an alga but is considered in the plants' domain and therefore is not a protist. Therefore the one that contradicts contradict the statement that unicellularity restricts cell size in protists is the Caulerpa.
