nirvana33 [79]

Answer: False

Explanation: The COMPLEMENT SYSTEM consists of proteins synthesized in the liver. They are activated by inespecific harmful substance (antigen) and begins a cascade of proteins that finally forms an attack complex against bacteria.

The COMPLEMENT is part of the INNATE IMMUNITY, because it is an inherent response, something all humans born with, and it is part of the first defense barrier against any antigen. Part of the innate immunity are too: natural killer cells, neutrophils, monocytes, dendritic cells and macrophages.

On the other hand, the ADAPTATIVE IMMUNITY, is the response that the body develops after being exposed to an antigen before. It is like something that the body recognizes, and then "learns" how to act against it. Part of the adaptative immunity are: lymphocyte T and B, and the antibodies (substances called Immunoglobulins). The immunoglobulins (Ig) are glycoproteins present in the blood.

A specific brand of gourmet chocolate candy contains 7.00 g of dietary fat in each 22.7-g piece. how many kilograms of dietary f
timofeeve [1]
7 g of dietary fat in each 22.7 g piece.
To convert pounds to kilograms, 
 1 kg = 2.205 lbs 
Thus; 1 lb is equal to 1/2.205 kg
Thus; (1/2.205) × (7/22.7)
 = 0.14 kg
Therefore; that would be 0.14 kg of fat per 1 lb of chocolate.

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

The phenotype of the rabbit is the absence of fur colour and the genotype is the alleles rr.

Explanation:

The genotype can be described as the genes which are present in an organism. Genes are made up of alleles. As the rabbit in the question carries the alleles, rr, hence it is the genotype of the white albino rabbit.

The phenotype can be described as the physical appearance that results from the particular genes present in an organism. As the white albino rabbit carries the alleles,rr, due to which it doesn't have fur, hence no fur is the phenotype of it.

Pavel [41]

Answer:

C). Buffers

Explanation:

The given analogy can best be completed with 'buffers' as it similarly compares with the 'solution pH' like the comparison between 'shock absorbers' and 'vehicle movement.' <u><em>Like the 'shock absorbers' function to help in improvising the vehicle movement and ride quality by lowering the effect reverberations of traveling on a rough platform, similarly, the 'buffers' help in regulating the 'pH of a solution.</em></u>' Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
