There are choices for this question namely:

<span>1 Lifelong passive immunity
2 Long lasting active protection
3 Immediate passive short term immunity
4 Stimulation for the production of antibodies
</span>
The correct answer is "immediate passive short term immunity". The administration of tetanus immunoglobulin will directly attack toxins associated with tetanus for a short time, providing short term immunity and this effect is immediate.The passive immunity from tetanus immunoglobulin is not lifelong. Choices 2 and 4 talks about active immunity which is not characteristic of tetanus immunoglobulin injection.

Which lipoprotein carries cholesterol to the cells in your body, but can get stuck in arteries while traveling in the blood, dep
Viktor [21]

LDL (low-density lipoprotein) carry cholesterol from the liver to the tissues and can contribute to the formation of plaque that builds up in the arteries.

<h3>What are lipids?</h3>

Lipids are soluble in fat and to circulate in the blood, which is an aqueous medium, they form lipoprotein complexes called lipoproteins, these constitute a transport medium and circulating reservoir for lipids.

<h3>Characteristics of LDL (low-density lipoprotein)</h3>

  • Low-density lipoproteins, composed of 50% triglycerides, are the ones that transport the lipids synthesized in the liver to other parts of the body.

  • LDL, composed mainly of cholesterol, when in excess, also deposits it on the walls of the arteries, contributing to the formation of plaque.

Therefore, we can conclude that excess LDL (low-density lipoprotein) poses a health risk because it facilitates the accumulation of fat in the arteries.

A heron, a large wading bird, is hunting in a pond that contains three types of prey: fish, frogs, and snakes. All three types o
r-ruslan [8.4K]

The preferred prey item would be frogs.

What is optimal foraging theory?

It is a theory in ecology that proposes that predating animals that get the most energy from minimal efforts are favored by natural selection.

In order words, selection forces prefer investing minimum energy in order to extract maximally available energy.

In this case, the heron needs to use the lowest time to harvest the maximum energy possible. Since all the preys offer the same amount of energy, the one that requires the lowest time would be preferable for the heron.

In other words, frogs would be the most preferable prey.
