White blood cells increase as they are the cells that destroy pathogens 
ankoles [38]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

c. white blood cells increase

Explanation:

White blood cells (WBC) are involved in immune responses of the body against any type of infection. These cells fight the infection by killing the pathogens, stimulating inflammatory responses and /or by the formation of antibodies to kill the antigens. Hence, when an infection occurs, the WBC count of blood increases. Since red blood cells are involved in oxygen and nutrient supply, they have no role in immune responses.

How is the density of ocean water affected by temperature and water?
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

There are two main factors that make ocean water more or less dense than about 1027 kg/m3: the temperature of the water and the salinity of the water. Ocean water gets more dense as temperature goes down. So, the colder the water, the more dense it is. Increasing salinity also increases the density of sea water.
