What is the difference between innate and adaptive immunity

Biology
1 answer:
GrogVix [38]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

One is inherited (innate) from parents and the other is acquired after birth (adaptive)

Explanation:

Immunity refers to the ability of an organism to withstand or defend itself against diseases and infections caused by foreign bodies e.g pathogenic microbes. There are two major types of immunity organisms employ viz: Innate immunity and Adaptive immunity.

Innate immunity, also called natural immunity is the type of immunity transferred from parents to their offsprings i.e. inherited. The innate immunity is the primary form of defense that works generally to prevent entry of these foreign bodies into the system. This immunity is not pathogen-specific. A good experience of innate immunity in almost all plants and animals is the skin.

Adaptive immunity, also called acquired immunity, is the type that is acquired by an organism after birth and triggered when the innate form of immunity fails. Adaptive immunity is pathogen-specific i.e. it is responsive to a particular foreign body. A good example are the B and T cells (lymphocytes).

The answer to this question is <span>membrane potential 

The gradient of electrolyte concentration from inside cell and outside cell will determine the membrane potential. Natrium or sodium is much higher outside the cell than inside cell. In contrast to the sodium, potassium is much more inside cells. This two electrolyte have major role in the membrane potential and action potential. </span>

There is a new trend to focus on dopamine receptor sensitivity rather than on dopamine itself because
Alex

Answer:

There is no scientific evidence to prove that people with schizophrenia ingest dopamine capable of accumulating excess in the body.

Explanation:

Although you did not specify that your question is associated with the origin of schizophrenia in people, we can see that this is the main topic of your question, due to its context. This is because scientists have been striving to find the origin of this disease, in order to be able to combat it in the early stages. Although many scientists believe that the origin of this disease is associated with excessive intake of dopamine, there is not strong enough scientific evidence to show that this is true. Because of this lack of evidence, filmmakers have focused on associating the origin of the disease with the sensitivity of the dopamine receptor and not with the dopain itself.

Answer:

GACCTG (the fourth option)

Explanation:

To find the correct complementary strand, we need to know this simple rule:

T always pairs with A and C always pairs with G.

So whatever letter you have in the DNA strand, the complementary strand will have the complement to it. In this case, we have CTGGAC. The complement of C is G, for T it is A, and so on. Therefore, the correct complementary strand is GACCTG (the fourth option).
