Which of the following statements does NOT accurately describe a difference between the innate and adaptive defenses of the body

? View Available Hint(s) Which of the following statements does NOT accurately describe a difference between the innate and adaptive defenses of the body? The innate defenses of the body apply strictly to external pathogens, while adaptive defenses apply strictly to internal pathogens. Innate defenses involve physical barriers, cells, bloodborne chemicals, and inflammatory responses, while adaptive defenses primarily utilize lymphocytes and antibodies. Innate defenses tend to occur much faster than adaptive defenses. Any foreign substances may activate the innate defenses, while adaptive defenses are specific to the type of invading pathogen.

The incorrect statement is option (A) the innate defenses of the body apply strictly to external pathogens, while adaptive defenses apply strictly to internal pathogens.

Immunity can be classified into two types namely, the innate immunity and the adaptive immunity. Innate immunity is the first line of defense against the pathogens. It includes the physical and chemical barriers of the immune system along with the action of the phagocytizing cells called the macrophages. Whereas, the adaptive immunity is mediated by the cells of the immune system called the lymphocytes. The B lymphocytes produce antibodies and are responsible for humoral immunity. The T lymphocytes produce the cell mediated immunity with the production of the helper T cell, cytotoxic T cells and attack the pathogens. Innate immune response is comparatively a faster immune response which can be activated by any foreign substance entering the body. Both the defenses work on external and internal pathogens.

1. Which of the following are factors that both unicellular and multicellular organisms actively balance in order to achieve hom
MrMuchimi
The correct options are as follows:
1. C
Homeostasis is the process by which living organisms maintains constant internal environment. Maintaining homeostasis is very important because the survival of the living organism depend on it. In order to maintain homeostasis, the amount of wastes, nutrients and water that is in an organism must be controlled and maintained at optimum level.
2. A.
An organism that can not maintain an homeostasis will die. This is because, lack of homeostasis will disrupt the biochemical reactions which sustains the life activities of the organism and once the biochemical reactions that produce life energy can no longer take place the organism will die.
3. A.
For both unicellular and multi cellular organisms, when they are exposed to water containing no salt, much of the water will move into their cells. This happened because, the level of salt in the interior of the living cells is higher and so the water will move from the medium which has no salt to the inside to the cell where there is salt. This process is known as osmosis. In osmosis water move through a semi permeable membrane from the region of low salt concentration level to the region of higher salt level concentration.
4. D.
Cells in living organisms are able to maintain homeostasis by specializing in specific functions and by working together in cooperatively. Each cell has its own functions which it performs; in the process of its duty, it communicates with other cells which also help it in order to achieve common goals, which is maintenance of homeostasis within the cell.
