Describe how antibodies protect your body against disease when exposed to a virus

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ludmilka [50]4 years ago
8 0
When children are small they are given vaccines that are usually dead viruses given to the body. These viruses don't cause damage to body and the body takes it as a real virus and prepare antibodies in the body but when a certain real disease or virus is in the body , the already presented antibodies fight with them for the protection of the body. These antibodies remain in the body so that when a disease or virus attacks the body the antibodies are already geared up to fight against them. Thus antibodies protect the body against invading microbes or viruses.

A student conducts an experiment to see how music affects plant growth. The student obtains four identical plants. Each one is p
motikmotik

The simplest and most helpful visual aid for this experiment would be if the student sets rulers of some sort or maybe pieces of wood that are properly marked with certain measuring unite. If they are set right next to each plant, the student will be able to monitor constantly how are the plants growing, and the smaller the measuring unites the better, as the student will be able to monitor the situation in higher detail.

Over time, the plants will most surely develop differently, so the student will have it easier to notice the changes. Considering that it is an experiment in question, the student should use proper measurements and to be able to have detailed numbers for it.

A rock is found to contain 2.2 grams of uranium-235, a radioactive isotope. If the rock has undergone 2.75 half-lives, what was
Verizon [17]

Answer:

=14.8 grams

Explanation:

The remaining amount is normally calculated using the formula:

Remaining mass= 1/2ⁿ × Original mass where n is the number of half-lives.

Therefore, original mass= Remaining mass × 2ⁿ

Remaining mass= 2.2 grams

Number of half lives= 2.75 half lives

Original mass= 2.2g × 2²·⁷⁵

=14.8 grams

1. Is O2 a compound? Explain.
zhuklara [117]
1. O2 is not a compound because it only contains one or more type of the same element atom.
2. O2 is a molecule because a molecule is one or more of the same element atom.
3. The law of conversion is that the mass of the system will stay the same when transfer takes place. Like if you had an equation O+H2—> H2O the mass will remain the same.

4. It will be equal to 10 because of law of conservation of matter.

5. One observation can be that the compound, reaction you’re observing, has change states.

Enter the atomic symbol, including mass number and atomic number, for iodine-130.
WINSTONCH [101]

<u>Answer:</u> The atomic symbol of the given element is _{53}^{130}\textrm{I}

<u>Explanation:</u>

The general isotopic representation of an element is given as:  _Z^A\textrm{X}

where,

Z represents the atomic number of the element

A represents the mass number of the element

X represents the symbol of an element

For the given isotope: 130-iodine

Mass number = 130

Atomic number = 53

Hence, the atomic symbol of the given element is _{53}^{130}\textrm{I}
