The immune response is the body's defense mechanism against the pathogens. The immune response of the body protects it from bacteria, viruses and multiple other disease causing organisms. The normal development of this protective immune response of the body is produced by as a result of the hormones which are produced by the thymus gland. The thymus gland produces the T-lymphocytes, which are important for a healthy immune response. The thymus gland secretes thymosin which is crucial for the development of these cells.
Hence, the answer is 'thymus gland'.
<u>Antibiotics are used to kill bacteria:</u>
Antibiotic is a naturally produced substance that is used to kill bacteria. The first antibiotic was penicillin produced from fungus. The word antibiotic means against life which means it is against the life of pathogenic bacteria.
In the case of the living organism that is treated antibiotic is ‘pro life’. Antimicrobials are used to kill pathogenic microbes like fungus, bacteria, virus etc. Sometimes the microbes become resistant to the antimicrobials and they are said to develop is antimicrobial resistance.
When pathogens develop antimicrobial resistance newer drugs have to be developed in place of the earlier ones to treat the disease.
Protection of certain species is a very controversial topic. Many species like the mountain lion or jaguar that are near extinction in certain areas, are threats to human life. Another reason is that they could off set the food chain when they come back and be stonger than ever. For example the mountian lion could eat out the thriving white tail deer population which was struggling because of the mountain lion. And many people rely on white tail deer for food.
Hope this helped :)
