Outline the three steps your body’s immune system takes to fight off an infection

Biology
1 answer:
faust18 [17]4 years ago

The first line of defense is the skin. It is the largest organ in the body and it acts as a barrier between invaders (pathogens) and the body. Microorganisms and bacteria cannot enter the skin unless it is broken. Inflammation is one of the signs that the first barrier has been destroyed.

The second line of defense is your cells. These are your white blood cells (leukocytes). There are different types but each one fights off the pathogens in order to protect you.

Once the bacteria has taken over what happens is that your white blood cells will increase and will activate your lymphatic system. This explains why you get high fever and the lymph nodules are swollen when one is sick. For instance, tonsils will inflame for those who have bacterial infection in the throat.  <span />

Analyze how different concentrations of solutes in a solution can affect organism's cells.
kaheart [24]
Lets see this with example
if you put a red blood cell in a glass of water the red blood cell is in hypotonic solution and that water flows into less concentrated area ( in to the red blood cell ) which eventually will swell and burst.
Another plot is when we put the same red blood cell in a glass full of salty solution which is Heterogeneous solution. In these case the water will move out from the cell to the solution which cause the cell to shrink.

Describe how carbon skeletons may vary, and explain how this variation contributes to the diversity and complexity of organic mo
Alecsey [184]

Carbon skeletons may vary in length, shape, number and location of double bonds and other elements covalently bonded to available sites.

A carbon atom contains four valence electrons thus, exhibiting a strong tendency to make covalent bonds with other atoms so as to complete its octet. Covalent bonds join carbon atoms together in long chains that create the skeletal framework for organic molecules.

A carbon atom could be linked to as many as four additional carbon atoms in an organic compound. Carbon atoms can also quickly form double bonds (where four electrons are shared among two atoms) and triple bonds (where six electrons are shared).

This variation in carbon skeletons contributes to the diversity and complexity of organic molecules.
