Ans.
Platelets are a type of blood cells, responsible for blood clotting. These cells prevent excessive blood loss from wound as they form plug or clot at the site of injury to repair the damage. Thus, the option). platelets is correctly matched with 'clotting blood.'
White blood cells or WBCs are components of immune system that protect the body from harmful foreign molecules, such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses and harmful body cells, such as tumor cells. Thus, the option). white blood cells is correctly matched with 'fighting bacteria.'
Red blood cells or RBCs are blood cells that transport oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nutrients to the different part of the body. These cells are made up of hemoglobin and protein. Thus, the option). red blood cells is correctly matched with 'clotting blood.'
Plasma is the non-cellular, colorless, fluid portion of blood, composed of proteins, vitamins, antibodies, amino acids, and other micromolecules. It is responsible for viscous nature of blood. Thus, the option). plasma is correctly matched with 'providing viscosity to the blood.'
Answer:
B. The <em>pituitary</em> gland
Explanation:
Can't be the ovaries, they're down by the hips!
Can't be adrenal glands, they're on top of the kidneys!
Can't be the thyroid, that's low on the front of the neck or something like that!
It's B, the pituitary; it's on the base of the brain.
Have a great day!
It is important to note that the graph has 0 solar intensity for a long part of the day; around 16 hours. Only from 8 to 16 hours do we have significant sunlight.
This means that the length of day is very short during this time of the year;
The length of the day changes throughout they year; day is equal to night (12 hours each) during the solstices on March 21 and September 23 but during summer day is longer than night in the northern hemisphere; during winter it is smaller. THe smallest daylength is at December 21st (in the northern Hemisphere). This phenomenon is due to the tilt of the axis of the earth.
The correct answer is December 21; (if we talked about a place in the southern hemisphere, the answer would be March 21).
Answer: humoral immune response
The main antibody isotypes in the influenza-specific humoral immune response are IgA, IgM and IgG. Mucosal or secretory IgA antibodies are produced locally and transported along the mucus of the respiratory tract by transepithelial transport and can afford local protection from infection of airway epithelial cells.
Answer:
Stored as fat
Explanation:
The body requires a variety of macro nutrients for building blocks to fortify the body and keep it functioning. One of the important building blocks are amino acids that are derived from proteins. These are broken down in the stomach by protein digestion enzymes by amylase, proteases and hydrochloric acid.
In the even that the body has taken in too many units of protein this will be stored in the liver as glycogen. This is a form of "animal carbohydrate" or "animal sugar."
The glycogen stores will remain there for a reservoir for energy whenever the body requires it. In the event of overeating the body will store the glycogen in a more concentrated form, fat via the fatty acid synthesis pathway.
