Hello there! 

The answer is enzymes. 
Enzymes are biological catalysts, which means they decrease the amount of activation energy needed to start a reaction, therefore speeding up the rate of the reaction. They are part of the protein macromolecule group. Without them, our bodies would not process things efficiently or fast enough for us to live.

Hope I helped. Have a nice day.

En los alérgicos, a partir del segundo contacto con el alérgeno cuando se produce la reacción alérgica. ¿Cómo podrías explicarlo
dem82 [27]

Answer:

La segunda exposición desencadena la fase de 'respuesta' asociada a la reacción alérgica  

Explanation:

La alergia se puede considerar como una respuesta desmedida del sistema inmune cuando un individuo entra en contacto con ciertas sustancias que son inocuas para la mayoría de la población, pero que en personas alérgicas desencadenan fuertes reacciones de hipersensibilidad. La alergia tiene dos fases conocidas como fase de sensibilización y fase de respuesta. La primera fase de sensibilización es donde el individuo entra en contacto con los 'antígenos' del alérgeno, lo cual provoca que el individuo genere anticuerpos IgE los cuales combaten al alérgeno (el sistema inmune considera que esta sustancia es potencialmente dañina), mediante la generación de anticuerpos de IgE que se unen a receptores de células del sistema inmune (eosinófilos, basófilos y mastocitos). La segunda fase de respuesta se produce cuando el individuo entra de nuevo en contacto con el alérgeno. Durante el segundo contacto, los antígenos del alérgeno interactúan con anticuerpos específicos de IgE que se encuentran sobre la superficie de células del sistema inmune, desencadenando la degranulación de estas células (mastocitos) y la consecuente liberación de mediadores químicos de la alergia tales como, por ejemplo, histamina, los cuales son responsable de los síntomas típicos de la alergia (tos, estornudos, picor, enrojecimiento de ojos, urticaria, inflamación, etc.).

All organisms are grouped into five kingdoms. Those are Monera, Protoctista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia. The division is made based on 3 criteria. Those are cellular organization, arrangement of cells, and type of nutrition. Cellular organization is whether they are eukaryotic or prokaryotic. Cell arrangement is whether they are unicellular, multicellular, with or without true tissue differentiation etc. Type of nutrition is whether they are autotrophic or heterotrophic. Kingdom Protoctista includes algae, protozoans, oomycota and slime moulds.
