The term which describes the breaking down of body cells or substance is CATABOLISM.
The metabolic processes which occur in living things are of two types, these are anabolic and catabolic processes. The anabolic process involves the building up of needed materials in the body while the catabolic process involves the breaking down of waste materials in the body in order to eliminate them through excretion.

<span>catabolism This is a one part of metabolism, the other part is known as anabolism. Catabolism breaks down larger units into small ones , these can be amino acids, polysaccharides and even fatty units in the body. The products of the breakdown is either energy or another substantial end product for another process useful in the body</span>

PLS HELP ASAP If an animal cell wasn't in an isotonic solution, wouldn't active transport be able to balance the cell's volume?
ohaa [14]

Answer:

Animal cells tend to do best in an isotonic environment, plant cells tend to do best in

a hypotonic environment. This is demonstrated in the attached PDF.

Explanation:

A cell that does not have a rigid cell wall, such as a red blood cell, will swell and lyse (burst)  when placed in a hypotonic solution, a process called cytolysis. Cells with a cell wall will swell when placed in a hypotonic solution, but once the cell is turgid (firm), the tough cell wall prevents any more water from entering the cell. When placed in a hypertonic solution, a cell without a cell wall will lose water to the environment, shrivel, and probably die. In a hypertonic solution, a cell with a cell wall will lose water too. The plasma membrane pulls away from the cell wall as it shrivels, a process called plasmolysis.

I hope this helps. If not I am really sorry!

The primary immune response involves _________
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

d. an immediate increase in the concentration of antibodies, followed by a slow decline.

Explanation:

The Primary Immune Response is mediated by antibodies, which are gamma globulin proteins formed by plasma cells (B lymphocytes). Plasmocyte is a differentiated B lymphocyte capable of actively secreting antibodies.

Antibodies are produced with the main function of neutralizing and eliminating an antigen that stimulated their production. This elimination process is done in various ways through complement fixation, opsionization, anaphylactic reaction (mast cell degranulation), substance neutralization, agglutination, etc.

To neutralize the antigen, the primary immune response promotes an immediate increase in antibody concentration. This is usually a quick process.  This concentration usually begins to decline in a slow process, but it will vary depending on the antigen.
