How does the body's immune response operate to fight infection?

Biology

Viktor [21]3 years ago

The body's immune system contains lots of white blood cells.

Lymphocytes and phagocytes are a type of white blood cell. The lymphocyte detects the pathogen that could lead to an infection, and produces the antibody needed to kill the pathogen. The antibody attaches to the pathogen and then the phagocyte comes along and engulfs it, destroying and eating it.

Long answer but hoped this helps!

Suppose a drug is developed that blocks K+ leakage channels. The drug prevents ions from passing through those channels. If this
Sav [38]

Answer: 1. The resting membrane potential would become less negative (more positive).

Explanation:

Resting membrane potential is a voltage carried by a resting (non-signaling) neuron, or called as resting potential, across its membrane.  The resting potential is determined by ion concentration gradients across the membrane, and the permeability of the membrane to each ion form.  

In a resting brain, there are gradients of concentration across the Na+ and K+ membranes. Forces shift their gradients down through channels, resulting in a separation of charges that provides the potential for rest. The membrane is much more permeable to K+ than to Na+, so the resting potential is similar to K+'s potential for equilibrium.

Hence, the correct option is 1. The resting membrane potential would become less negative (more positive).

How does natural selection “drive” evolution?
yanalaym [24]

Because predators and prey must learn (or adapt) new ways of survival. Deer over time have learned to be much more sensitive to the surrounding environment, therefore, a deer's predator must also adapt/evolve and learn how to beat the deer at it's own game and catch it for food. Animals must evolve/adapt to any given environment. If humans lived in Antarctica for thousands of years, we would eventually be able to withstand the cold due to evolution. People who live in the Himalayas today actually breath normally at such high altitudes whereas if someone who lives at sea level went to where the Himalayan people lived, the result could potentiality be fatal because the body has not adapted/evolved at that point to withstand minimal oxygen.

What is correct generalized chemical equation for photosynthesis?
loris [4]

Answer:

The photosynthesis equation is as follows: 6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2 Carbon dioxide + water + energy from light produces glucose and oxygen. 00:00 00:00 Brought to you by Sciencing
