How does sugar affect immune system biology?

Biology
1 answer:
rosijanka [135]3 years ago
3 0
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.

Sweating and panting are examples of which characteristic of life?
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Responding to the environment

Explanation:

Sweating and panting are mechanisms of homeostasis i.e the regulation of the body's internal environment in response to changes or fluctuations in the external environment.

Sweating is a physiological response to the body's core temperature rising above the limit of 36.5-37.5°C. Once the hypothalamus in the brain detects this rise in temperature, cooling mechanisms are initiated. One of these is sweating. Release and subsequent evaporation of sweat through the sweat glands produces a cooling effect.

Panting is a physiological response more observed in dogs. Dogs lack sweat glands and therefore cannot lower their core temperature through sweating. Panting utilizes saliva instead of sweat to lower body's temperature to the set limit.
