Answer: The body's reaction to long-lasting stress is associated with impaired immune response.

The body immune system is the first defence mechanism against any invading pathogens, physical and mental stress. There are two ways by which stress can affect the immune system: firstly by the creation of chronic inflammation harming the tissues and secondly by the suppression of the immune cells for fighting the infection.

During stress or fight-or-flight condition, body starts to produce more amount of cortisol which is a stress hormone. The immune system is suppressed by lowering the amount of the protein needed to signal the immune cells. This reduces the number of lymphocytes or B cells and T cells.

Assignment: 01.03 Transformation of Energy

trasher [3.6K]

The energy transformations that occur in the given devices are as follows:

Windmill - mechanical energy to electrical energy
Flashlight - electrical energy to light energy
Microwave - electrical energy to heat energy
Firecracker - chemical energy to heat, light, and sound energy
Bicycle - Chemical energy to mechanical energy
Battery - chemical energy to electrical energy

<h3>What is energy transformation?</h3>

Energy transformation refers to the processes by which one form of energy is transformed into another form.

The law of conservation of energy guides the various energy transformations that occur in the universe.

The law of conservation of energy states that energy is neither created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another.

The energy transformations that occur in the given device are as follows:

Windmill - mechanical energy to electrical energy
Flashlight - electrical energy to light energy
Microwave - electrical energy to heat energy
Firecracker - chemical energy to heat, light, and sound energy
Bicycle - Chemical energy to mechanical energy
Battery - chemical energy to electrical energy

In conclusion, energy transformations occur according to the law of conservation of energy.
