Answer:

With a compromised immune system, people have a far more difficult time fighting off disease. Due to this, their bodies are more vulnerable to getting such diseases and cannot create the antibodies needed to fight the disease off.

Answer: The effect of a compromised immune system is vulnerability to diseases.

Explanation: Immune system is the body's defence against infectious organisms and foreign substances invading the body. The immune system attacks organisms and substances that cause diseases in the body by their invasion through a series of actions called immune response. During immune response, the body recognizes the invading organism or substance as foreign or non-self and produce antibodies that fight and eliminate the invader. When the body's immune system is compromised, the body will not be able to trigger an immune response to eliminate the foreign body, therefore the body will be prone to diseases and infections.

The appearance of a pebbly texture on the surface of a deep wound indicates what process is taking place?

irakobra [83]

In a deep wound, there might be a few layers of tissue that need to be rebuilt because they were lost. In this rebuilding process this pebbly texture can be seen and it indicates that granulation is taking place (that's the process). Granulation is when small blood vessels and capillaries start to develop vertically to the outside part of the wound, being supported by connective tissue, and surrounded by cells of many other types for different purposes, such as immunitary functions or specialised tissue functions. This tissue growing is characteristic of healing and it presents this granulated/pebbly texture to it.

An action potential causes the release of neurotransmitters by:________.

seraphim [82]

Answer:

b) opening calcium pores in the membrane

Explanation:

The opening of calcium ions channels facilitates the migration of vesicles containing neurotransmitters in the pre-synaptic neurons to the tip of the post-synaptic membrane. at the neuromuscular junction These neurotransmitters can either be cholinergic or non-chorlinergic. At the tip of the pre-synaptic membranes the vesicles empty their neurotransmitter contents into the synapse.

The neurotransmitters, diffuse through the neuromuscular junction to bind with the receptors on the post-synaptic membrane on the post-synaptic neuron. This stimulates opening of ligand gated sodium ions, and sodium ions diffuse into the post-synaptic neuronal membrane, to cause depolarization. if the stimulus is up to the threshold levels it generate action potential.

Therefore , more calcium ions channels opening produces; more diffusion of neurotransmitters;leading to opening of more sodium channels for depolarization; and IPSP or EPSP generation.

The level of productivity in oceans can be explained by the fact that ____.

musickatia [10]

The level of productivity in oceans can be explained by the fact that the volume of the global ocean is enormous.

The oceans cover about 70% of the earth. This makes the ocean to occupy the largest volume on earth.

In spite of this large volume, the productivity of the ocean is just about 55 billion tons.

This low productivity of the ocean is tied to its large volume and small amount of primary productivity.
