The body undergo a sensitization when one develops IgE antibodies and develop a strong TH2 response against pollen. Then, this newly develop IgE antibodies sticks to basophils and mast cells with no signs and symptoms yet. However, when one is expose again to pollens, mast cells will be activated and release mediators who are responsible for immediate vascular and smooth muscle reaction.

Anni [7]

<span>The answer to this question would be:
- The permanent thermocline presents a barrier that keeps nutrients in deeper water from mixing with surface waters.
- The sunlight penetrates deep into the tropical ocean, warming the surface waters and creating stratification of water masses.

In tropical lands, the area is getting sunlight all around the year. This will cause the plant to be able to do photosynthesis all around the year too. Sunlight can penetrate the ocean, but the intensity will be much lower in deeper part. The ocean also become warmer but it will become cold in the deeper part too. </span>
