The correct answer is A. Homeostasis allows organisms to regulate their temperature.

Explanation:

Homeostasis is a natural process in cells and complex organisms that make these preserve inner stability or equilibrium despite external changes. This includes the ability of organisms to keep adequate hydration levels, temperature, and nutrient levels that are necessary to survive. In the case of temperature, this is part of homeostasis as most organisms have different mechanisms to regulate temperature; for example in the case of humans, when the external temperature increases the body uses sweating as a mechanism to avoid the internal temperature to increase. Thus, one of the reasons homeostasis is important to the survival of organisms is that it allows them to regulate temperature (Option A).

No the right answer is A. Homeostasis allows organisms to regulate their temperature because it makes sure the organisms cells do not burst or shrink. This allows the organism to survive.

A response that is uniquely directed against pathogenic bordetella pertussis would involve what component?

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Antibodies

Explanation:

Bordetella pertussis is an obligate human pathogen and is the etiological agent of whooping cough. It is known to be an opportunistic organism.

The pathogenic mechanism of Bordetella pertussis is also known as virulence factor. These virulence factors are known to include adhesins such as filamentous haemagglutinin, fimbriae and pertactin, which allow B. pertussis to bind to ciliated epithelial cells in the upper respiratory tract.

It is known to be the agent of whooping cough, a highly contagious respiratory disease, dramatic for infants and also for elderly and pregnant women.

In this case, the antibodies will be the response that is uniquely directed against the organism. It is said earlier that this organism is an opportunistic one, this means that it causes infection when the immunity is down. So, when the immunity is empowered , it will definitely fight against the organism
