The lymphatic system has many functions in the human body. Here are the two main ones.

1.) the fat tissue in the body is transported through lymph tissue, part of the lymphatic system.

2.)the lymphatic system also has a significant role in the human defense system. After a pathogen (a disease causing substance eg. Bacteria) has bypassed the general defence system, its up to the lymphatic system to fight these infections.

It does this through the production of antibodies against these pathogens. Cells are produced to produce and antibodies, namely, b and t cells. Examples of these cells include; killer t cells(what it says on the tin.) memory b AND t cells memorise the pathogen so it does not infect you again(induced immunity). Suppressor t cells stop killer cells from destroying normal healthy human cells. These particular cells have a significant role immunity.

Not 100% sure but I think the lymphatic system has a role in the production of phagocytes and monocytes which engulf the bacteria(as opposed to using chemicals to destroy them). Ps. Antibodies recognise pathogens through specific antigens on these harmful cells.

Finally, I believe the lymphatic system can be linked with white blood cells in the production of additional immunity proteins but you may have to do your own research on that!

A population of small fish lives in a lake with a sandy bottom. Large shore birds prey on these fish. Although most of the fish

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

The initial proportion of 90% light-brown (sand-like) colored fish to 10% mottled fish is the result of the light-brown fish mixing with their background and thus being preyed less by the birds than the mottled fish which are of course more visible above a light brown sandy bottom. The higher predation results in the removal of more mottled fish and thus a smaller number of these fish in the population. When the gravel is added to the bottom of the lake, this situation reverses. Suddenly the light brown fish are more visible to the birds and we can expect that their numbers will decrease, while the mottled fish will become more numerous as they will be harder to spot and capture by the birds, and will therefore survive more than their pale counterparts.
