Olin [163]4 years ago
7 0

1) pathogen enters body and releases chemoattractants

2) a phagocyte/macrophage is attracted by these chemicals

3) the phagocyte engulfs the pathogen using its pseudopodia

4) the membranes of both organisms fuse forming a phagosome

5) lysosomers in the phogocyte fuse with the phagosome, forming a phagolysosome

6) these enzymes digest the pahogen (hydrolyse the bonds)

7) the antigens of the pathogen are placed on the surface of the phagocyte making an APC (antigen presenting cell)

A population of squirrels living in a habitat covering 150 hectares is at 80% of the carrying capacity of 1,500. Assuming that t
Shkiper50 [21]
1) To calculate the population density you first need to know how many <span>squirrels form that population.
To calculate the number of</span><span> squirrels:
1500</span> squirrels is the capacity, so it's equivalent to 100%
So how much squirrels are present in 80% of the area:
1500----100 %
x----------80 %
x= 1200 <span>squirrels
</span> 
2)Population Density equals the number of squirrels divided by the land area
In the first part was calculated the number of squirrels and the exercise gives us the area in hectares so the only thing left to do is divide them.
(since this exercise doesn't specify that the area needs to be in a certain measurement we can use hectares)
 Population Density = 1200/ 150
<span>The population density of the squirrels is 8 per hectare</span>
