Answer:

Option B, The controls on cell growth and divisions can be turned on and off

Explanation:

There are signal proteins that control and regulate the cell growth and division process. For instance, mitogens help in removing the negative controls which would otherwise have blocked the cell cycle progression. Then there are growth factors that synthesize proteins and hence stimulate cell growth. Also there are some survival factors that suppress the apoptosis. Based on these three factors the cell division and growth can be turned on or off.  

Hence, option B is correct

As a baby, Gina was exposed to a pathogen. Because of passive immunity, Gina's body was able to fight off the pathogen before sh
Serhud [2]

First of all, it is important to understand the difference between passive and active immunity.

Passive immunity is when we are given antibodies that were not produced by our own body (for example those transferred from mother to child, or those taken as part of medication or therapy - note that the former would be an example of naturally acquired passive immunity and the latter of artificially acquired passive immunity).

Active immunity, on the other hand, refers to antibodies that were produced by our own bodies due to exposure to a pathogen or part thereof - this can also be naturally acquired, such as when we are infected by a pathogen, or artificially, such as when we are vaccinated.

Given this information, what enabled Gina to fight the pathogen would be the second answer (antibodies she received from her mother), however we can also look at the other answers and discount them as false to be sure:

Answer 1 - high fever caused by a pathogen

The question states that Gina was able to fight off the pathogen before she got sick - a fever suggests that:

a) she is already sick

b) her body is launching its own immune response

Answer 3 - antibodies she received from a vaccination

The antibodies produced as a result of vaccination are produced by your own body (despite being stimulated artificially through exposure to the pathogen), thus this is not the correct answer.

Answer 4: inflammation caused by antibodies

This answer is incorrect due to the fact that antibodies do not directly cause inflammation.

Thus, the correct answer is the second one 'antibodies she received from her mother'.

Hope that helps :)

Where does the light-independent reaction occur?
Keith_Richards [23]
The light-independent reaction for obtaining energy (I think this is what you are talking about) occurs within the organism. This is because cellular respiration does not require light, seeing as how most humans do not need light directly (although they need the Sun for photosynthesis to occur in plants so that the plants produce Oxygen) in order to survive. Hopefully this helps!
