A certain species of pine tree survives only in scattered locations at elevations above 2800 meters in the western United States

. To understand why this tree grows only in these specific places, an ecologist should _____.
A) conclude that lower elevations are limiting to the survival of this species
B) study the anatomy and physiology of this species
C) investigate the various biotic and abiotic factors that are unique to high altitude
D) analyze the soils found in the vicinity of these trees, looking for unique chemicals that may support their growth
E) collect data on temperature, wind, and precipitation at several of these locations for a year

Answer:

The correct option is <em>C)  investigate the various biotic and abiotic factors that are unique to high altitude.</em>

Explanation:

The survival of the certain species of pine trees only at elevations shows that there will definitely be a biotic or abiotic factor that enhances the growth of the pines at that place. It might be due to abiotic factors like the temperature or soil at high altitude or due to some biotic factor like a mutualistic relationship with organisms at high altitudes. Hence, option C is the correct option.

How your innate immunity protects you from the pathogens you encounter.
adell [148]

Answer:

The innate immunity in living organisms protects them from the pathogens they encounter daily.

Explanation:

Pathogens are organisms such as virus, fungi, bacteria, protozoa, worms that causes diseases to its host.

For example, Avian flu is a strain or variant of the Influenza virus which predominantly causes a disease in birds such as chickens. The virus responsible for the Avian flu can be passed from birds to humans; when anyone comes in contact with a bird that is carrying the virus i.e a sick bird with Avian flu.

Homeostasis can be defined as a process through which a living organism maintains a steady or stable physical, internal and chemical environment ideal to enhance life and proper functionality.

Also, immunization can be defined as the process of boosting an individual's immunity or immune system against antigens (immunogen) which cause diseases by the administration of vaccines.

Basically, immunization helps to improve the functions of the antibodies, B cells, T cells etc.

If a person becomes infected with a pathogen, such as a virus. The internal stimulus that mainly takes place in order for their body to maintain homeostasis is that their core temperature increases. This is because pathogens such as a virus do not thrive or survive in a hot environment; they're naturally allergic to high temperature (heat).
