Like wise food also has varieties of natural pathogens such as a)Cyclospora cayetanensis b) Hepatitis A c) Salmonella d) Listeria monocytogenes e) Escherichia coli f) Norovirus g) Shigella spp etc.

How would your body be affected if your pituitary gland was not working properly?

sweet [91]

The pituitary gland, or hypophysis, is an endocrine gland that consists of anterior pituitary (or adenohypophysis) and posterior pituitary (or neurohypophysis). Adenohypophysis regulates several physiological processes (including stress, growth, reproduction, and lactation) by secreting hormones. The neurohypophysis functionally connects the gland to the hypothalamus. The intermediate lobe (between adeno and neurohypophysis) synthesizes and secretes melanocyte-stimulating hormone. Because it controls a lot of functions inside the organism it can affect many things when it is not working properly (over- or under-production of pituitary hormones). It can cause diabetes insipidus by a deficiency of vasopressin, it can cause thyroid disorders, gigantism (too much growth hormone)…

explain why it is important to keep the levels of nucleotides relatively balanced in the context of dna and rna synthesis

juin [17]

Answer:

Read Below

Explanation:

Nucleotides are A & T and G&C you see in DNA and in RNA T is Replaced by U. The reason they must be balanced between G&C and T&A is because G has to bond with A in DNA and G with C so if there is more G than C that means there is mismatches between the DNA nucleotides same thing for A and T. In RNA you follow the same rule. If we have lets say 27% of our DNA as A we have to have 27% as T leaving 23% as C and 23% as G. If there was lets say 29% T while one 27% A then there was a error in DNA replication and could lead to errors in RNA synthesis if not corrected

what is the relationship between exposing to a virus and developing immunity to it? cite evidence from the text to support your

den301095 [7]

Answer:

Exposure to a virus is closely related to the development of immunity, since the immune system is responsible for creating antibodies in response to the presence of potentially harmful biological agents, such as these viruses.

Explanation:

Viruses are biological agents that can produce diseases when they enter the body of a living being. In response to contact with a virus, the immune system synthesizes specific antibodies to combat the foreign biological agent.

Antibody immunity can be of two types. It is fast when it is mediated by immunoglobulins M (IgM), which attack the virus anywhere, while the late and prolonged response is due to the development of immunoglobulins G (IgG).

An example of immunity to a virus occurs with the exhibition to the virus of the Dengue, that creates permanent immunity to the viral serotype to which an individual is exposed.

The acquired immunity, mediated by antibodies, is the base for the development of vaccines.
