The body's nonspecific defiance against invading pathogens is known as innate immunity and includes the following:
mechanical barriers and surface secretions
1. The intact skin and mucous membranes of the body. These provide a high degree of protection against pathogens.
2. The sebaceous secretions and sweat of the skin contain bactericidal and fungicidal fatty acids that can kill bacteria and fungi.
3. Normal bacterial flora of the skin may produce various antimicrobial substances such as bacteriocines and acids.
Humoral defence mechanisms
1. Lysozyme. This is an enzyme found in most tissue fluids apart from cerebrospinal fluid, urine, and sweat. It can kill bacteria.
2. Interferon. Inhibits viruses from replicating
3. Complement. This is a heat labile serum that can destroy gram-negative bacteria.

The atomic number is the number of protons, neutrons, or electrons a cell has in its original form
The techniques earthquake is a term which refers to the science of constructing buildings that are able to withstand the effects of an earthquake.
The instruments used to measure the intensity and direction of an earthquake are known as a seismograph and a seismoscope. The seismograph measures the movement of the ground during an earthquake. The seismoscope shows the direction of an earthquake.
The Intensity Scale is a scale that measures the intensity of an earthquake. It also measures the effects of an earthquake.
Answer: pretty sure the answer is C
Explanation:
A) Net movement in osmosis is from areas of higher water concentration to areas of lower water concentration. Net movement in diffusion occurs from areas of higher solute concentration to areas of lower solute concentration.
This happens so that both solution have roughly the same concentration
