Answer:

<u> C) Each type of sensory receptor responds only to the stimulus that defines the receptor</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

Neurons,  specialized cells within the nervous system. These help with coordinated movement ad communication within the body through the transmission of electrical signals.

Sensory receptors are highly specialized neurons. These are able to detect various chemical and physical stimuli, and are classified by their ability to detect certain stimuli such as:

  • photoreceptors
  • mechanoreceptors
  • chemoreceptors
  • thermoreceptors

Sensory receptors respond to certain intensities of stimuli, instead of one specific stimulus. e.g. Mechanoreceptors within the skin can respond to pressure changes due to touch, but may also detect sound due to specific vibrations.

Answer:

By using detection antibodies specific for the infected carrier

Explanation:

The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) assay is widely used in molecular biology (and biochemistry) laboratories to detect and measure antibodies in the blood. The antibodies are specific immunoglobulin proteins produced by B lymphocytes, these molecules bind to specific antigens present in pathogenic microorganisms during adaptive (acquired) immune responses, thereby protecting the organism against infectious agents. In consequence, the ELISA assay is a diagnostic method to assess the immune system responses against pathogenic microorganisms. The ELISA technique is specific because it is possible to use different detection antibodies, which bind to specific antigens in the polystyrene microtiter plate.
