How does sugar affect immune system biology?

Biology
1 answer:
rosijanka [135]3 years ago

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.

Fill in the blank Competition drives natural selection as individual members of a species compete with each other for limited na
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

1. Intraspecific

2. speciation

3. fossil record

4. The fossil record provides empirical evidence for evolution because it shows that species now aren't the same as species that existed in the past and that small changes happen over time to create new species.

5. A geographic variation in the fossil record occurs when two similar organisms occupy the same time span in two different places. These organisms hold the same purpose within the overall ecology.

6. A more detailed fossil record is preferable for supporting evolution because it allows for the instances of gradual change to be recorded and placed into broader speciation events.

7. Fossils provide a great many intermediaries that connect past species with their living descendants.

8. Intraspecific competition is competition that occurs within species. This is the competition that drives natural selection.
