Answer:
Option b. Lowering the pH to kill pathogenic bacteria is correct answer.
Explanation:
bacterial motors are sensitive to pH. By decreasing the pH bacterial motors stops working. This was identified in a new research. But, with the weak acids and a lower internal pH they slow and ultimately stop moving (became dead).
Reference: Powell, K. Acid stops bacteria swimming. Nature (2003).
I tried my best to answer.
1) Chemical to mechanical (calories -> muscle contractions)
2) mechanical to mechanical (muscle -> motion)
3) mechanical to thermal (motion -> heat from the body causes sweating)
The potential energy is stored in the body chemically (via food). That potential energy is then released when the body is put in motion.
Answer:
Presence of specific antigen receptors on the surface of Immunocompetent B and T cells make them to generate immune response against specific antigens only.
Explanation:
The cellular and antibody-mediated immune responses are specific in nature. This means these immune responses are generated for particular foreign molecules or antigens only. These immune responses include B and T lymphocytes. Before T cells leave the thymus or B cells leave the red bone marrow, they develop immunocompetence. Immunocompetence is the ability to carry out adaptive immune responses. During this process. B cells and T cells make distinctive proteins and insert them into their plasma membranes. Some of these proteins function as antigen receptors capable of recognizing specific antigens. This is why the B and T cell-mediated third line of defense are specific in nature.
For example, antibody-mediated immune responses generate the memory cells for most previously encountered antigens to ensure the generation of more rapid and vigorous response during any further encounter with the same antigen.
The regulation of blood sugar is accomplished by the organ called the Pancreas. It secrets insulin, a hormone regulator. Insulin enables the sugar to get out of the blood and into the cells where it is needed for the cells to function. And also the liver removes sugar from the body by turning it into glycogen, another hormone regulator which body burns as energy.
