I think your answer is a hot summer. during this phase, there would be rapid growth in vegetation leading to increased population in rabbits and other rodents...
Question 1:
<u>Answer</u>:
The "first line of defence" in innate immunity is "Physical and chemical barriers".
<u>Explanation</u>
"Physical and chemical barriers" is first line of defence includes that are ready to defend the living organism's body from infection at any time . These barriers include your skin, cilia, tears, urine flow, mucus, stomach acid, friendly bacteria and white blood cells . Skin acts as a mechanical barrier as it does not allows all the organism to pass through it unless the skin is cut or open. Similarly mouth eyes, and nose are also the ways through with the disease causing organism can enter the body. The micro-organisms that entered through these pathways are trapped either in saliva or mucus and swallowed and later either killed in the stomach or flushed out via the urine. If this first line of defence is broken or damaged, the second line of defence inside our body will be activated.
Question 2:
<u>Answer:</u>
Histamine kinins, and interleukins are examples of inflammatory mediators.
<u>Explanation</u>:
Inflammatory mediators are identified in inflammatory bowel disease IBD.These mediators play an vital role in the clinical and pathologic characteristics of the disorders. Cytokines, that are released by macrophages in due to antigenic stimuli, are binded different receptors and produce endocrine, autocrine and paracrine effects. Interleukins are a subset of a large group of 'cellular messenger molecules' called cytokines that modulates the cellular behaviour. Interleukins are not stored within cells like cytokines but they are released immediately, in response to a stimulus. Once an interleukin has been secreted, it moves to the target cell and binds to it through a receptor molecule on the surface of the cell . This interaction triggers a sequence of signals in the target cell that ultimately leads to the alteration in the behaviour of the cell.
Answer:
1) Homologous chromosomes are chromosomes that are the same in size and shape and control the same characteristics; occur in pairs in higher animals and plants
2) Internal fertilization is a mating pattern in which the male and female come close together, the male introduces the sperm into the body of the female, and fertilization occurs. It is practiced by mammals like goat, sheep etc
3) Pollination is the transfer of pollen from male to female cones in gymnosperms, or from anther to stigma in flowering plants. It is effected by insects, birds, bats and the wind.
4) Zygote is the result of fertilization in which two gametes have fused together; often simply called a fertilized egg.
Answer: When your hypothalamus senses that you're too hot, it sends signals to your sweat glands to make you sweat and cool you off. When the hypothalamus senses that you're too cold, it sends signals to your muscles that make your shiver and create warmth. This is called maintaining homeostasis.
The statement that could be categorized in the overlapping section of the Venn diagram would be option A. All the statements given above are about the aerobic and anaerobic respiration. The Venn diagram is used to show the similarities and differences between the two. The overlapping section of the diagram shows the similarity and it "uses pyruvate or pyruvic acid".
