tracted the same virus. Why don't you get sick a second time?
You have antibodies that already recognize the virus.
White blood cells released histamines and killed the virus.
Your skin prevented the virus from entering your body.
Stomach acid inactivated the virus, preventing its spread.

The answer is <em>A.) You have antibodies that already recognize the virus</em>

Viruses and diseases are always changing. When we get sick with say the flu, a virus, or the cold of sorts, our body attacks it until it fights off the disease. You can't get sick from the same strand of sickness because once your body defeats the virus, it knows how to protect the body from it because of the antibodies, so the virus ends up evolving to get past your immune system again.

I hope this helped! Have a wonderful day :)

What statement about the mechanism of hunger and satiety is true?
disa [49]

Answer:

The correct answer is: The ventromedial hypothalamus plays a role in satiety.​

Explanation:

The hypothalamus is a part of the brain that controls many important bodily functions and connects both the nervous system with the endocrine system. The hypothalamus consists of several nuclei that have diverse functions and are located in 3 different regions.

The nucleus that plays a role in satiety is the ventromedial nucleus, terminating hunger and giving a sensation of fullness. It also plays a significant role in thermoregulation, among other things.

Neuropeptide Y, on the other hand, is a peptide that is released to make us feel hungry and encourage us to intake food (primarily carbohydrates).

Cholecystokinin is a hormone released by the small intestines after we had a meal, and its function is to improve digestion and make us feel full.

Fat cells DO release leptin, but the function of this hormone is to produce satiety, by stimulating anorexigenic (meaning they take hunger away) hormones and inhibiting orexigenic ones, like Neuropeptide Y.

Describe what must come together in order for atp to be made
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
To make ATP, cells must join together ADP & a phosphate using energy from food. A phosphate is removed from an ATP molecule in order to provide energy for the cell. Thus, the ATP molecule turns into an ADP molecule. We eat food which gives us energy to add another phosphate group to the ADP molecule, turning it into an ATP molecule. The cycle then begins again.

Describe the DNA transcription process, which involves the transfer of the DNA genetic code onto an mRNA molecule.
Bad White [126]
DNA is present within the nucleus of the cells and it is responsible for the production of various proteins and enzymes to keep the cellular activity going on. However, it cannot directly do so and seeks help of the messenger RNA molecules. DNA transcription is a process that involves transfer of the DNA code from the DNA to the mRNA molecule for the production of proteins.
