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.

Describe the development of a human embryo from fertilization to birth.
RSB [31]
So, as you know, when a sperm cells (Male sex cell) meets the Egg cell (Female Sex Cell) it forms something called a zygote. And from that point on, the egg cell reproduces more and more (making more cells) in a type of cell called a stem cell, which can be used for anything the body needs. The newborn babies keep these cells up until birth or the incubation (growth of the baby in the mother's uterus), and then they are ready to be born.

Westkost [7]

Secondary succession occurs when the severity of disturbance is insufficient to remove all the existing vegetation and soil from a site. Many different kinds of disturbances, such as fire, flooding, windstorms, and human activities (e.g., logging of forests) can initiate secondary succession.
