Stimulus. The elephant gets hot and so internal stimuli lie respond by finding ways to cool it down, in this case, flapping their ears.

It's energy transfer, the blood circulates through the ears as they flap which keeps the animal cool.

Which is NOT an immune component that can directly attack & destroy target cells?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Macrophages are part of your innate immune system, which is antigen-independent and does not require activation.

Explanation:

Macrophages phagocytize (internalize) all non-self pathogens it encounters. These do their job without activation. Other cells in the innate immune system include basophils, neutrophils, eosinophils (these cells are polymorphonuclear leukocytes), mast cells, and dendritic cells, which act as the bridge between your innate and adaptive immune system.

All of the other entities listed above are part of your adaptive immune system. The adaptive immune system is antigen-dependent and requires activation. This section of your immune system responds differently to different pathogens, and has the bonus of having immunologic memory, the ability to remember pathogens after infection and respond much quicker upon secondary and tertiary encounters.

Note: All lymphocyte types begin as naïve cells, which then differentiate into their fully matured form upon activation.

Helper T cells are a type of CD4+ T cell that has the job of activating B and T lymphocytes. There are two different types of T helper cells: Th1 and Th2. Th1 cells secrete the cytokine interferon-gamma (IFNγ), and is primarily involved with the stimulation and activation of cytotoxic T cells, while Th2 cells secrete a variety of cytokines and are responsible for activating and assisting with B cells to make antibodies. To make a long story short, Th cells interact with APC (Antigen Presenting Cells), specifically their Class II MHC (a group of genes that present exogenous proteins). The Th cells then proliferate and gain the ability to activate these APC cells and provide the necessary signals to activate B and T cells and make them proliferate and do their specific function.

How is cancer related to the cell cycle?
solong [7]

Answer:

Cancer is unchecked cell growth. Mutations in genes can cause cancer by accelerating cell division rates or inhibiting normal controls on the system, such as cell cycle arrest or programmed cell death. As a mass of cancerous cells grows, it can develop into a tumor.

Hope I helped! :)

If a battery produced 12.6 volts, what would the current flow be for a 6 Ohm resistor
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

I = 2.1 A

Explanation:

This is physics, but I will answer here either way.

First, the battery produces a voltage of 12 V in a resistor with 6 ohm, and we want the current flow (I). We need to apply the following expression:

V = R * I   (1)

This is the Ohm's law. From here we can solve for I and:

I = V/R   (2)

Now, we just need to replace the data and solve for the current:

I = 12.6 / 6

<h2>I = 2.1 A</h2>

Hope this helps
