How does sugar affect immune system biology?

Biology

Sugar impacts your white blood cells by competing for space in those cells with Vitamin C. When Linus Pauling did research in the 1970s to find out how the body uses Vitamin C, he discovered that white blood cells need Vitamin C to destroy bacteria and viruses. Sugar and Vitamin C are similar in their chemical structure. When you eat sugar, it directly competes for space in your immune cells with Vitamin C!The more sugar in your system, the less Vitamin C can get into your white blood cells. Sugar DOES NOT help your immune system fight infection at all, resulting in a weakened defense from infections.

<h2>The correct answer is: B.</h2>

Explanation:

  • A variety of species become threatened or endangered due to various natural and anthropogenic factors.
  • Natural factors like climate change, global warming, flood, volcanoes, forest fires, avalanche, earthquake, tsunami etc cause the death of many species of organisms and often cause the extinction of several endemic and rare species.
  • Man-made factors like habitat destruction, mining, quarrying, deforestation, poaching, etc also has similar impact on species diversity.
  • Conservation of animals can be defined as the procedure adopted to promote the well being of different species of animals such that they can survive and reproduce to maintain their existence on earth without getting threatened, endangered or extinct.
  • A Threatened species can be defined as the one which has a high probability of becoming endangered in the near future.
  • An Endangered species can be defined as the one whose population has reduced to such an extent that the probability of the species to become extinct in the near future becomes exceptionally high.
  • An Extinct Species can be defined as the one whose last surviving individual has died. The ability of such a species to breed and recover its population gets lost much earlier.
  • Conservation program carried out for the preservation of a particular animal species includes the protection of their surviving habitat, breeding habitat and also their hibernating habitat.
  • A particular habitat can be occupied by multiple species of organisms which occupy different ecological niches.
  • Therefore, conservation of the habitat of a particular species of organism will simultaneously cause the conservation of other species present in the same habitat.
  • Hence, this would indirectly cause the conservation of other endangered species.
