Answer:
Option D, Gastric Juices
Explanation:
The second line of defense is a non specific defense mechanism in which no specific individual is targeted but all invaders are killed in general way. Some common mode of second line of defense are - Phagocytic cells (white blood cells), inflammatory responses, macrophage system etc. The second line of defense comes into action when the invader has surpassed the first line of defense which include either physical barrier like skin, mucous membrane, hair, cilia etc. or chemical barriers like gastric juices, saliva, Hyaluronic acid etc.
Hence, gastric juice does not belong to second line of defense.
Thus, option D is correct.
It all depends on the trait. If the dominant is more common that the recessive trait then it is more likely to a dominant trait in the gene pool. But if the recessive trait is more common in the gene pool then you will have a recessive trait. Does this make sense? Let me know if I'm right!
The correct answer is
offspring
Answer:
Groundwater
Explanation:
Groundwater, which is in aquifers below the surface of the Earth, is one of the Nation's most important natural resources. Groundwater is the source of about 33% of the water that county and city water departments supply to households and businesses (public supply).
Answer:
b) and c)
Explanation:
Greenhouse gases are gases found in the atmosphere that absorb infrared radiation and trap the sun’s heat, thereby producing an effect known as <em>greenhouse effect.</em> By this natural way, the earth is able to be kept warm at an optimal temperature, to make it habitable for humans and other organisms. These gases referred to as <em>greenhouse gases</em> include, carbon dioxide, methane, water vapour and other trace gases found in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases could be likened to the glass in a greenhouse that helps in trapping heat to keep the greenhouse warm at optimal temperature necessary for plant growth and development.
Without this natural greenhouse effect caused by greenhouse gases, life on earth would be almost impossible as the earth would almost be covered with ice below 0 degrees Fahrenheit.
The increased level of greenhouse gases we now find in the earth’s atmosphere is responsible for the additional warming of the earth’s surface, causing an enhanced greenhouse effect which results in global warming.
Statement a) cannot be used as an explanation because it is false. Greenhouse effect makes the earth habitable.
Statement d) cannot be used as an explanation because carbon dioxide is not the only greenhouse gas that matters. Water vapour, CFC and methane also have impacts.
<em>Statement b) and c) are the best statements to use in explaining the true nature of greenhouse effect.
