Answer:

           According to Dr. Ray Schiling (member of the American Academy of Anti-aging medicine) about 1.5 million people suffer from peanut allergies. The seeds of peanut (<em>Arachis hypogea</em>) contain an array of allergens that can induce the production of IgE specific antibodies predisposed individuals. Ara1 and Ara2 are most common seed storage protein that cause allergy. Other allergen proteins such as Ara3 to Ara 17 have also been identified that cause allergy.  


Entry of peanut allergen into body

When peanut allergens enter the body of an individuals it leads to development of different symptoms like itchy skin, tingling sensation, nausea, runny nose and anaphylaxis.  

Allergic response

There are two subsets of T-cells Th1 and Th2. Both invoke different response to allergens. Th1 direct a non-allergic response while Th2 direct allergic response ranging from releasing of histamine to anaphylactic response. The presence of IL-12 cytokines direct a Th1 based, nonspecific response.  


Mechanism of allergic response (interaction between helper T cell and B cell)

Step 1.  

           When allergen enter to body they are encountered by B cells. Immunoglobulin receptors on the surface of B cells recognize antigen (Peanut allergens) and get attached, which are then internalized and processed. Within B cells the fragments of antigens combine with HLA class 2 proteins.  

Step 2

             HLA class 2 with antigen fragments (peanut allergens) then display on the surface of B cells.

Step 3

            Receptors on the surface of helper T cells recognizes the complex of HLA class 2 and antigen fragments (peanut allergen) and is activated to produce cytokines, which activate the B cells.  

Step 4

             B cell is activated by cytokines and begins clonal expansion. Some of the progeny become anti-body producing plasma cells while other become memory B cells.

What types of organisms reproduce by binary fission?
DaniilM [7]
Binary fission is a form of asexual reproduction used by members of domains archaea and bacteria among other organisms. Like mitosis (in eukaryotic cells), it results in cell division of the original cell to produce two viable cells that can repeat the process. Hope I’ve helped ;)

the is the thin layer of the mucosa responsible for pulling the mucosa into its many folds which increases the surface area of t
krek1111 [17]

yes, Muscularis  mucosa - The stomach and small intestine's mucosa are pulled into undulating folds by a thin layer of smooth muscle that is constantly tensed. The surface area that is available for digestion and absorption is significantly increased by these folds.

The submucosa is located directly beneath the mucosa, as its name suggests. It joins the underlying muscularis to the overlaying mucosa by way of a large layer of dense connective tissue. It has blood and lymphatic vessels (which carry nutrients that have been absorbed), as well as a few submucosal glands that secrete digestive juices. Additionally, it functions as a passageway for the submucosal plexus, a densely branched network of nerves.

These layers compress to encourage mechanical digestion, expose more of the food to the chemicals that aid in digestion, and transport the food along the canal.

Determine whether each example represents continental drift or sea floor spreading.
laila [671]

Answer:

Sea floor spreading-> <u><em>Oceanic ridge and Magma pushing two plates apart</em></u>

Continental drift-> <u><em>Concept of pangaea and Oceanic plates sliding under continental crust</em></u>

Explanation:

Due to the divergent plate movement, the magma come out to the surface, forming the mid oceanic ridge and this separation of plates on the sea floor is known as the sea floor spreading. The magma here pushes the two plates to move apart because of the convection current that generates in the mantle. One example of mid oceanic ridge is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

  Continental drift refers to the slow and gradual movement of the lithospheric plates over the viscous asthenosphere layer. This motion of continents takes place because of the plate tectonic movement. Due to this plate motion, the denser plate gets subducts beneath the less denser plates. For example, the oceanic crust when collides with a continental crust, it gets subducted because of its higher density. The great supercontinent "pangaea" also formed and separated due to this plate motion.

Anna71 [15]
Before the food handler handles any type of food or cooks and prepares them. It is best that they should properly wash their hands in order to prepare them with clean hands.
