mestny [16]3 years ago
5 0

The correct answer is C. 

(The nonspecific response provides an immediate response, while the specific response involves a delay between exposure and response.)

 - The non-specific immune response is the first line of protection from different types of pathogens and microbes such as skin (physical barrier). It is immediate response however, it is not specifics and it does not involve the recognition of pathogens.

- The specific immune response depends on pathogen recognition and therefore is long-lasting immunity and it takes time to be effective. This response includes B- cells, T-cells, phagocytic cells and NK cells.

North component: y = 15.0 m * sin 55.0º = 12.3 m West component: x = 15.0 m * cos 55.0º + 7.00 m = 15.6 m 
so his heading, measured from West, is Θ = arctan(y/x) = arctan0.787 = 38.2º N of West 
and measured from North is φ = arctan(x/y) = arctan(1.27) = 51.8º W of North 
Hope this helps!

A sunflower is an angiosperm, and a gingko is a gymnosperm. Which best describes the life cycles of sunflowers and gingkoes? I.
dalvyx [7]

The correct statements are I, III and IV.

An angiosperm refers to a plant, which exhibits flowers and generates seeds enveloped within a carpel. The angiosperms include a large group of herbaceous plants, grasses, shrubs, and the majority of trees. While gymnosperms refer to the plants that exhibit seeds but not safeguarded by any kind of fruit or ovary. It includes the cycads, gingko, and conifers.

Both the angiosperm (sunflower) and gymnosperm (gingko) are seed-bearing plants. However, the seeds of a sunflower are safeguarded by a flower or fruit, while for the gingko, there is no mechanism like that, i.e, there is not any kind of protection. Additionally, sunflower exhibit phenomenon of double fertilization, which is not witnessed in the case of gingko.
