A laboratory experiment followed the growth of a flour beetle (Tribolium sp.) population over time. At first, the population inc

reased dramatically, but later the growth slowed and the population size leveled off. Although food (the wheat flour in which they live) was still abundant, the flour beetles resorted to eating their own eggs when population densities got high. What can we conclude about cannibalism in this species?

Answer:

Explanation:

Cannibalism is a very essential factor regulating population dynamics of four beetle. After some days of feeding, the flour becomes conditioned by the beetles which can affect rate of cannibalism

Adults have a relatively lower rate of cannibalism. While its highest rate of cannibalism is at larvae stage

Flour conditioning is caused by the accumulation of feces, pheromones and ethylquinone- thus is repellent produced by the beetles.

Zepler [3.9K]

Professional antigen-presenting cells, such as phagocytes, are the first cells to encounter a pathogen (apcs). This means they have the ability to activate cells of the adaptive immune system.

<h3>What is meant by Pathogen?</h3>
  • A pathogen is an organism that infects its host with disease, and the severity of the disease symptoms is referred to as virulence.
  • Pathogens include viruses, bacteria, unicellular and multicellular eukaryotes, and a wide range of other organisms.
  • The bone marrow of an average healthy adult generates 100 billion new neutrophils per day. Because there are so many neutrophils in the body at any given time, they are often the first cells to reach the site of an infection.
  • Long thought to be a component of the innate immune system, complement has recently emerged as an important regulator of the adaptive immune response.

Therefore the correct option is D)  can activate cells of the adaptive immune system.
