Antibodies are produced when the body is exposed to antigens.

During an initial encounter with a foreign antigen, the body's immune system namely the adaptive arm of the immune system, produces memory cells, a group of special lymphocytes that retain and store memory of the antigen.

On a second encounter with the same kind of antigen, the immune system "remembers" the antigen and mounts a rapid, specific and vigorous immune response against the antigen. This response includes the production of massive amounts of antibodies very specific to the antigen.

The antibodies effectively neutralize the antigen and facilitate its destruction.

Plant hormonal regulation differs from animal hormonal regulation in that _____. plant hormonal regulation differs from animal h
Pani-rosa [81]
I believe that plant hormonal control differs from animal hormonal control in that there are no separate hormone-producing organs in plants as there are in animals.  Hormones regulate cellular processes in targeted cells locally and moved to other locations, in other function parts of the plant. Hormones also determine the formation of flowers, stems, leaves, the shedding of leaves, and the development and ripening of fruit. Plants unlike animals they lack glands that produce and secrete hormones and instead each cell is capable of producing hormones.

Compare the process of carbon fixation in C3 plants to that of C4 plants.
Gre4nikov [31]

Carbon fixation is the process in which plants remove the carbon from atmospheric carbon dioxide and turn it into organic molecules like carbohydrates.

Because different type of plants are located in regions with different conditions they are different types of carbon fixation.  Plants that live in arid regions need to conserve water, while plants that live in more moist conditions will not need to conserve water.

The carbon fixation in C3 plants is one-step process. An oxidation reaction occurs because of the enzyme RuBisCo.  During the oxidation some of the energy used in photosynthesis is lost in a process known as photorespiration.

Please help me!! Describe the effect of surface area and pores on cells.
ivanzaharov [21]

Explanation:

Surface area and pores play important roles in the cell.

Pores are the tiny holes on the surfaces of a body. They help to facilitate movement of materials in and out of the cell.

The surface area is the amount of space the surface of a cell occupies.

  • Pores in a cell needs to be in proper shape in order to facilitate movement of materials.
  • When the pores in a cell are too large, too much materials are bound to leave the cell. Tiny pores makes it difficult for the cells to have enough materials to function properly well.
  • The surface area of a cell allows for the diffusion of materials in and out of cell.
  • The larger the surface area of a cell, the more and better reactions takes place because they will receive important life sustaining resources.
