A disease-causing bacteria successfully enters your body, making it past the first and second lines of defense. Which barrier wi
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is biological.

Explanation:

When any pathogen invades the body, it has to pass several lines of defence. The first barrier is the skin and mucous membrane which is a physical and chemical barrier. The second line of defence is the non-specific response by macrophages, neutrophils and interferon. After crossing these two barriers the third line of defence comes into action in which, the B- cells and T-cells act specifically on the pathogen and destroy it.

Scientists studied reproduction in the New Zealand mud snail to answer the question, “Are there benefits to reproducing sexually
vlabodo [156]

Answer: Sexual reproduction is advantageous over asexual reproduction because it reduces the rate of mutation accumulation.

New Zealand mud snails reproduce through asexual and sexual modes of reproduction. Asexual reproduction allows these organisms to reproduce more number of offsprings. Asexual reproduction advantageous as these organisms faces natural disaster conditions like tide, drought results in the decrease in the population. Therefore, does not get mate to undergo sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction in these snails results in genetic variation in offsprings. Sexual reproduction results in increase in mutation rate in the genetic material being passed to offsprings because of resorting of genetic material being distributed from parent to offspring. This will result in genetic variations. Hence, parent will be different from offsprings.  In asexual reproduction offsprings are the clones of parents as there is no resorting of genetic material takes place.

Deficiencies of carnitine, carnitine acyltransferases, or carnitine/acylcarnitine translocase affect the metabolism of long‑chai
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

CPT-1 deficiency can cause:

Symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)

Liver problems, such as an enlarged organ

Damage to the nervous system, caused by liver (liver) problems

Coma and sudden death

Heart failure

CPT-2 deficiency can affect each person differently, depending on how well the CPT-2 protein is working. Symptoms can be mild to severe. For certain periods, people with this deficiency may not have any symptoms. Very serious forms can affect newborns or babies. These are rarer.

The myopathic form of CPT2 deficiency causes milder symptoms. It does not cause heart or liver problems. People with this form generally have a normal life expectancy. Symptoms can start at any time up to age 60. They can appear if you skip meals, exercise a lot, or get sick. Symptoms may include:

Symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)

Temporary muscle pain

Muscle damage

Muscular weakness

Dark urine

So, it can be said that the myopathic form is the least severe and is characterized by recurrent episodes of rhabdomyolysis, muscle pain and weakness triggered by prolonged physical exercise, fasting, viral illness or extreme temperatures. The severe infantile form is characterized by severe intolerance to fasting, leading to metabolic disorders such as hypoketotic hypoglycemia and hepatic encephalopathy. The neonatal lethal form presents with symptoms of the infantile form as well as dysmorphic manifestations (eg, cystic renal dysplasia).

Explanation:

Carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) deficiency is a rare condition that causes muscle weakness and other symptoms. It occurs due to a problem with one or two enzymes, CPT1 or CPT2.
