Name and describe two infectious viruses and a body's first defense against infection
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

The body’s first line of defence

•Skin

The skin is the largest organ of your body. It acts as a barrier between invaders (pathogens) and your body. Skin forms a waterproof mechanical barrier. Microorganisms that live all over your skin can’t get through your skin unless it’s broken.

•Tears, mucus and saliva

Your nose, mouth and eyes are obvious entry points for pathogens. However, tears, mucus and saliva contain an enzyme that breaks down the cell wall of many bacteria. Those that are not killed immediately are trapped in mucus and swallowed. Special cells line and protect the nose, throat and other passages within your body. The inner lining of your gut and lungs also produces mucus to trap invading pathogens.

•Cilia

Very fine hairs (cilia) lining your windpipe move mucus and trapped particles away from your lungs. Particles can be bacteria or material such as dust or smoke.

•Stomach acid

Stomach acid kills bacteria and parasites that have been swallowed.

•Urine flow

Your urine flow flushes out pathogens from the bladder area.

marin [14]

Answer:

A keystone species

Explanation:

  • Keystone species are the species that play an important role in maintaining the structure of the ecological community they live in and they do so by affecting the numbers and types of other organisms that are found in the same ecological community.
  • A keystone species may not necessarily occupy the largest biomass or be the greatest in terms of productivity in the given community but the removal of keystone species has a huge impact on the survival of other species and hence, the term keystone is used.
  • In the given example, the sea otters are also playing the role of keystone species in a kelp forest community as in their presence there are more than 12 species however once these species are removed, the number reduces down to 5-7.
