Answer:

B (Water pollution)

Explanation:

Water pollution is the release of harmful substances -often chemicals and microorganisms- into a water body e.g. stream, river, ocean, lake etc. degrading the quality of the waterbody and rendering it toxic to humans or the environment.

Water is regarded a universal solvent i.e. it has the ability to dissolve more substances than any other liquid on earth. This is the reason why water is vulnerable to pollution or easily polluted as toxic substances readily dissolve into and mix with them, causing water pollution.

Water bodies can be polluted by a variety of substances causing contamination due to pathogenic microorganisms, domestic wastes (sewage and refuse), insecticides, herbicides, food processing wastes, volatile organic compounds, heavy metals, oil spillage from industries, chemical wastes from farms etc. These substances are called POLLUTANTS.

what is the relationship between exposing to a virus and developing immunity to it? cite evidence from the text to support your

den301095 [7]

Answer:

Exposure to a virus is closely related to the development of immunity, since the immune system is responsible for creating antibodies in response to the presence of potentially harmful biological agents, such as these viruses.

Explanation:

Viruses are biological agents that can produce diseases when they enter the body of a living being. In response to contact with a virus, the immune system synthesizes specific antibodies to combat the foreign biological agent.

Antibody immunity can be of two types. It is fast when it is mediated by immunoglobulins M (IgM), which attack the virus anywhere, while the late and prolonged response is due to the development of immunoglobulins G (IgG).

An example of immunity to a virus occurs with the exhibition to the virus of the Dengue, that creates permanent immunity to the viral serotype to which an individual is exposed.

The acquired immunity, mediated by antibodies, is the base for the development of vaccines.
