Answer:
defines the problem to be explored
Soaring and gliding birds like eagle, vulture, albatross, sea gulls etc are efficiently adapted to utilize the air currents in their flight.
Explanation:
The soaring flight and gliding movements are special adaptation developed by birds to meet the challenge of increasing turbulent air current.
Birds have the extraordinary skill of flying smoothly and effortlessly even at very high altitudes
Birds soar by using thermal and dynamic soaring techniques.
Gliding movements help the birds to deflect the wind downward which helps to lift their bodies in the air. They do not flap their wings during gliding but just dive straight into the air which helps to increase their speed.
The adaptation of the bird’s structure with very light but strong bones on their wings helps to soar and glide in the air.
The right answer is Haploid cells join to form an organism that has a complete set of chromosomes.
Meiosis makes it possible to pass from a cell to 2n chromosomes to 4 cells with n chromosomes, thus ensuring the passage from the diploid phase to the haploid phase.
So from the fertilization phase to the meiosis phase, the cells will be diploid (2n chromosomes). From the meiosis phase to the fertilization phase, it is the haploid phase (n chromosome).
Answer:
A: Anabolic pathways build molecules, require energy and are endergonic
Explanation:
Anabolism and catabolism are the two important process of metabolism - a process through which cells get energy to drive various processes within the body and get rid of toxic wastes.
Anabolic and catabolic reactions can be described as opposing sides of the same coin. While anabolism refers to the various reactions that build up molecules within the cell, catabolism has to do with the breakdown of big or complex molecules into smaller ones.
Both processes involves energy. Anabolic reactions require energy to drive the building up process and therefore referred to as endergonic reactions. On the other hand, catabolic reactions liberate energy during the breaking down of complex molecules and therefore referred to exergonic reactions.
A good example of anabolic reaction is photosynthesis which involves the building up of carbohydrate (glucose) using carbon-dioxide, water molecule and energy while a good example of catabolic reaction is respiration which involves the breakdown of carbohydrates into carbon-dioxide, water molecules and the release of energy.
Hence, the only correct option is A.
Question 1:
<u>Answer</u>:
The "first line of defence" in innate immunity is "Physical and chemical barriers".
<u>Explanation</u>
"Physical and chemical barriers" is first line of defence includes that are ready to defend the living organism's body from infection at any time . These barriers include your skin, cilia, tears, urine flow, mucus, stomach acid, friendly bacteria and white blood cells . Skin acts as a mechanical barrier as it does not allows all the organism to pass through it unless the skin is cut or open. Similarly mouth eyes, and nose are also the ways through with the disease causing organism can enter the body. The micro-organisms that entered through these pathways are trapped either in saliva or mucus and swallowed and later either killed in the stomach or flushed out via the urine. If this first line of defence is broken or damaged, the second line of defence inside our body will be activated.
Question 2:
<u>Answer:</u>
Histamine kinins, and interleukins are examples of inflammatory mediators.
<u>Explanation</u>:
Inflammatory mediators are identified in inflammatory bowel disease IBD.These mediators play an vital role in the clinical and pathologic characteristics of the disorders. Cytokines, that are released by macrophages in due to antigenic stimuli, are binded different receptors and produce endocrine, autocrine and paracrine effects. Interleukins are a subset of a large group of 'cellular messenger molecules' called cytokines that modulates the cellular behaviour. Interleukins are not stored within cells like cytokines but they are released immediately, in response to a stimulus. Once an interleukin has been secreted, it moves to the target cell and binds to it through a receptor molecule on the surface of the cell . This interaction triggers a sequence of signals in the target cell that ultimately leads to the alteration in the behaviour of the cell.
