What are two ways in which tears help to prevent microbial colonization?

Biology
1 answer:
BartSMP [9]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

1. By washing the eyes to dilute microbes

2. By the action of lysozyme

Explanation:

Tears are released in response to the presence of any irritants in the eyes. The tears are spread on the surface of the eyeball through blinking. In this way, tears keep on washing the surface of the eyes and prevent microbes to infect the same.

Tears also contain the enzyme lysozyme. Lysozyme is an enzyme that can digest the cell walls of some bacteria. Hence, invasion of certain bacterial species is prevented by innate immunity provided by lysozyme of tears.

Smokers, alcohol abusers, overweight and obesity men are more<br> likely to have sperm which are?
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

fewer in number.

Explanation:

A low sperm count also known as oligospermia can be defined as a medical condition which typically involves a man (adult male) having fewer than 15 million sperm per millilitre of semen.

Basically, low sperm count (oligospermia) is usually caused in men due to health and lifestyle factors such as smoking, alcohol or drug abuse, obesity, genetics, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), age etc.

Hence, smokers, alcohol abusers, overweight and obesity men are more likely to have sperm which are fewer in number i.e fewer than 15 million sperm per millilitre of semen.

Generally, a healthy or normal sperm motility ranges from over 20 million to 200 million sperm per millilitre of semen.

Differentiate between global warming and the green house effect. What gases are responsible for both?
Alona [7]

Answer:

Global Warming is simply the long-term rise in temperature of the Earth's core, which inevitably would effect the climate systems of the Earth.

The Green House Effect is the natural process that warms the Earths surface.

Explanation:

The Green House Effect--> When the Sun's energy reaches the Earth's atmosphere, some of it is reflected back into space and the rest is absorbed and re-radiated by the greenhouse gases.
