The answer is IgA.  The immunoglobulin can occur as a monomer or dimer. The dimeric form is called secretory-IgA because it is also secreted by glands that produce saliva, tears, sweat, and in the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract. It is the most secreted Immunoglobulin.

The answer is immunoglobulin A (IgA).
Immunoglobulin A is an antibody that plays a crucial role in the immune function of mucous membranes. It has two sub classes that is the IgA1 and IgA2 and can be produced as a monomeric as well as a dimeric form. The dimeric form is the most prevalent and is also called secretory IgA. Secretory component is a proteolytic cleavage product of the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor which remains associated with the dimeric IgA in sero-mucus secretions. The secretory component protects IgA antibodies from degradation by the gastric acids and enzymes of the digestive system.

Consider the terms egg, sperm, and sporophyte. Which process links egg and sperm directly to sporophyte?
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Fertilization

Explanation:

Egg and sperm are cells known as gametes produced by the GAMETOPHYTE of a sexually-reproducing organism via meiosis. Since egg and sperm cells are produced through meiotic division, their chromosomal number is reduced by half of the parental organism. Hence, sperms and eggs are haploid cells (n) produced by a diploid organism (2n).

Sperm is the male gamete while egg is the female gamete. These two haploid gametes fuse in a process called FERTILIZATION, to produce a diploid ZYGOTE that eventually grows into the diploid structure of the organism called SPOROPHYTE. This system of reproduction called ALTERNATION OF GENERATIONS is used by lower and higher plants.

Cutting down forests changes the populations of more than trees. Imagine the organisms that lived in this forest. After the tree
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

<em>Food and shelter are the most likely limiting factors in this case.</em>

Explanation:

In a forest, the huge trees act as a source of shelter for the animals that live in that habitat. It protects the animals from the heat of the Sun and extreme cold conditions.

The tress in the forest are the primary source of food for almost all the organisms that live in the forest. Cutting down trees will lead to food scarcity for the animals which inhabit that forest. As a result, the animals will either have to migrate or they will become die due to lack of food.

Hence, food and shelter are the limiting factors in this case.

More nitrogen in the atmosphere leads to NITRIC ACID RAIN.
When nitrogenous fertilizers are used on the farm, some gases are released into the atmosphere including nitric oxide. These gases rises up into the atmosphere, mix with rainfall.
