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).

1. In the marine food web shown, which of the
Rudiy27

Answer:

C. Ringed seal

Explanation:

A marine food web illustrates how energy is passed from one organism (level) to another in this aquatic rich ecosystem.

In the following food web, the interaction goes like this:

  1. The Arctic cod feeds on plankton and silverslides and it is preyed upon beluga whales and ringed seals.
  2. The sea duck goes to the bottom of the ocean to feed on benthic organisms and also consumes plankton and silverslides. It doesn't really have predators.
  3. The beluga whale doesn't really have predators, but it feeds on fish such as silverslades and Arctic cod.
  4. Ringed seals feed on plankton and Arctic cod and are then consumed by polar bears.

Therefore, according to this information, all organisms except the ringed seal feed directly on silverslides.
