It is a common misconception that elephants existed the same time as the dinosaurs did when in fact they have evolved 3 or 5 million years after these creatures.

The tusks of the elephant would probably be the structure not present in early elephants. It is only through evolution that these tusks grew. Some scientists have hypothesized that these tusks develop from the elephants' incisors.

lidiya [134]

Answer:

Explanation:

The immune system protects the body from possibly harmful substances by recognizing and responding to antigens. Antigens are substances (usually proteins) on the surface of cells, viruses, fungi, or bacteria. Nonliving substances such as toxins, chemicals, drugs, and foreign particles (such as a splinter) can also be antigens. The immune system recognizes and destroys, or tries to destroy, substances that contain antigens.

Your body's cells have proteins that are antigens. These include a group of antigens called HLA antigens. Your immune system learns to see these antigens as normal and usually does not react against them.

meriva

Answer:

The hydrophobic tails are sandwiched in between because they are ‘water-hating’ leaving the hydrophilic ends (which are ‘water-loving’) to interact with the watery environment inside and outside of the cell. The hydrophobic ends are mainly made of fatty acid chains ( and have no charges) while the hydrophilic ends are made of phosphate molecules that are negatively charged.
