Answer:
a substituted derivative of purine, especially the bases adenine and guanine present in DNA.
a colorless crystalline compound with basic properties, forming uric acid on oxidation.
Answer: C) GMOs, genetically modified foods engineered in a lab to produce desirable traits.
Explanation:
The genetic engineering involves the insertion of genes from other organism to the host organism so as to make up genetically modified organism. Some unwanted and default genes are also removed from the organisms so that their body function properly.
The genetically modified foods are the examples of genetic engineering. This is done to produce desirable traits in the food crops. In plants both plants and animal genes are inserted to improve the yield of crops, and to improve their quality. In animals, the insertion of genes of other animals is likely to improve the milk and meat yield.
The answer is "D"
The body's first line of defense is also known as Innate immunity and incudes mucous membranes. Both the intact skin and mucous membranes of the body offer a high degree of protection against pathogens.
A good example is the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract. It is lined up with cilia and covered with mucus. The coordinated beating of the cilia drives the mucus up to the nose and mouth where the trapped bacteria can be expelled.
(Lymph nodes and white blood cells belong to the second line of defense, not the first)
Answer: The correct answer for the fill in the blank is osmosis.
Osmosis is defined as the movement of solvent (like water) from a region where the concentration of solute is lower to a region where the concentration of solute is higher though a semipermeable membrane.
In other words, it is the water movement from an area where its ( water ) concentration is higher to an area where its concentration is lower.
This process does not require any energy as water is moving along the concentration gradient.
