<h2>Answer:</h2>

There two features which facilitates bird <u>to fly are presence of light and smooth feathers and light bones</u>.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Birds are the only living creatures which has the ability to migrate from one place to another through flying. There are many physical features present in their body which facilitates them in flying.

<u>Among the two features and their role in flying are as follows: </u>

Light and smooth feathers: Wings are the organ which is involved in flying. It is composed of feathers which are very colorful and are light in weight and smooth in its appearance. This apart from reducing the body weight helps the bird to reduce the force and drag during flying.
Light bones: The skeletal system of the birds is composed of light bone which are primarily hollow with air sacs. This accounts for less body weight while flying.

Which is NOT an immune component that can directly attack & destroy target cells?

Answer:

Macrophages are part of your innate immune system, which is antigen-independent and does not require activation.

Explanation:

Macrophages phagocytize (internalize) all non-self pathogens it encounters. These do their job without activation. Other cells in the innate immune system include basophils, neutrophils, eosinophils (these cells are polymorphonuclear leukocytes), mast cells, and dendritic cells, which act as the bridge between your innate and adaptive immune system.

All of the other entities listed above are part of your adaptive immune system. The adaptive immune system is antigen-dependent and requires activation. This section of your immune system responds differently to different pathogens, and has the bonus of having immunologic memory, the ability to remember pathogens after infection and respond much quicker upon secondary and tertiary encounters.

Note: All lymphocyte types begin as naïve cells, which then differentiate into their fully matured form upon activation.

Helper T cells are a type of CD4+ T cell that has the job of activating B and T lymphocytes. There are two different types of T helper cells: Th1 and Th2. Th1 cells secrete the cytokine interferon-gamma (IFNγ), and is primarily involved with the stimulation and activation of cytotoxic T cells, while Th2 cells secrete a variety of cytokines and are responsible for activating and assisting with B cells to make antibodies. To make a long story short, Th cells interact with APC (Antigen Presenting Cells), specifically their Class II MHC (a group of genes that present exogenous proteins). The Th cells then proliferate and gain the ability to activate these APC cells and provide the necessary signals to activate B and T cells and make them proliferate and do their specific function.

Explain how phospholipids form cell membranes.

dem82 [27]

Answer:

Phospholipids are able to form cell membranes because the phosphate group head is hydrophilic (water-loving) while the fatty acid tails are hydrophobic (water-hating). They automatically arrange themselves in a certain pattern in water because of these properties, and form cell membranes.
