<u>Answer:</u>

The complement system of defense is composed of proteins that are always present in the blood.

(A) It causes immediate pathogen lysis.

This statement describes the importance of this system in early pathogen defense.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The "complement system" is the protein series found in blood plasma. They are not a part of induced immune response which is early.

"Barrier defenses" are part of defense mechanism of the body. It is like body continuously protects itself against the pathogens.  

The complement system is very important because it destroys the pathogens and eliminate the infection. The  phagocytic cells and antibodies help in clearing the damaged cells present in an organism with this way.

Explanation:

The complement system is a part of innate immune system which is called first line of defense mechanism of our body.

What happens as pigments are mixed together?
andriy [413]
When pigments are mixed together, more colors are being absorbed which results to few colors that will be reflected. Each pigment absorbs and reflects light which results to the "color" or hue that we see. When these pigments are to be mixed, then more wavelengths would be absorbed which results to lesser reflection.

the galapagos tortoise are biodiverse. tortoises in a more barren area have a flat shell and long neck to help grasp the sparse
natima [27]

Answer:

<em>This is an example of natural selection (adaptation).</em>

Explanation:

Natural selection tends to favor those organisms which are better adapted to live in an environment.

As tortoises having flat shell and long neck were better adapted to live in barren area, hence through natural selection those organisms were favored in such an ecosystem.

As tortoises that lived on the vegetative lands were more adapted to live in such an ecosystem, hence through natural ecosystem these organisms were favored and increased in numbers.

Why was introducing foxes ineffective at quelling the rapidly-growingrabbit population
natima [27]

The introduction of foxes in order to control, or even decline, the rapidly growing rabbit population was not effective due to very simple reasons, reproduction rates and available area for living.

The rabbits are reproducing quicker than the foxes, and not just quicker, but in larger numbers with every lither, thus outnumbering the foxes by far, even if each fox manages to kill a rabbit or two each day.

The area available for the rabbits to live and spread out is huge, so they are not limited by a small amount of area where their number will have to stop to grow because of lack of food sources, thus spreading around without any problem, especially because of the lack of competition.

Why mustard is a dicot cottedonous Plant give two reasons​
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Brassica species are dicot which means that they have two cotyledons instead of one like monocots. Cotyledons supply food for the plants in the seed. As the plant matures, it flowers. Mustard plants have small yellow flowers in clusters.
