Answer:

The correct answer of question 1 is option a.

Explanation:

Exposure to any infectious agent, that is, when the agent has bypassed the first and second lines of defence, it results in the activation of cell-mediated immunity.

Antigen of the infectious agent is represented to T- cell with the help of antigen presenting cell (APC) such as dendritic cell or macrophages. Activated T-cells release cytokines which attracts more and more T-cells.

In addition, it increases the proliferation of T-cells. Some T-cells convert into T-helper cells and some in T-cytotoxic cells and some in T-memory cells.

The T-cytotoxic cells digest the infected cells and T-helper cells further activate more macrophages, dendritic cells, and other lymphocytes such as B cells with the help of cytokines.

Thus, the infection is faught and cleared from the body.

The correct answer of question is option c.

Being soluble in water, the excess amount of vitamin C can be easily excreted out of the body along with urine.

1. c) Exposure would weaken the body’s immune system and leave it unable to fight future infections.
2. c) Excess amounts are removed by the kidneys and excreted along with urine.

Answer:

Mechanisms are activated where it is sought to lower the amount of free protons in the blood, that is, to reduce acidity, these mechanisms work between two large systems, the receptor system, the respiratory system and the renal system.

Explanation:

When a metabolic acidosis is entered, either by a food, or by a disease or even an intense physical activity, the lungs seek to generate hyperventilation, to increase the concentrations of oxygen in plasma and absolutely decrease the carbon dioxide concentration, thus not the blood becomes even more acidic.

On the other hand, the digestive system together with the sensory system, will warn this proprioception of the acidity of the plasma and will promote the dilution of these acids with a solvent, which is water, promoting the sensation of thirst.

Finally, the kidneys will seek to retain all the alkaline solutes to neutralize the physiological internal pH, and will release through the urine and the channels of acidic compounds, the products or acid metabolites to the external environment, that is, acid urine excretion.

kenny6666 [7]

Neils Bohr developed a model of the atom (Bohr model) to explain how the structure of the atom changes when it undergoes energy changes. His major idea was that energy of the atom was quantized (this means that the atom could only have very specific amounts of energy) and the amount of energy in the atom was related to the electrons possession in the atom. In the Bohr model, electrons travel in orbits around the nucleus. The further the electron from the nucleus the more energy it has. Bohr used Planck's quantum concept of E=hv.

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:Based on the information given we can not say pea aphid as an autotroph. Because pea aphid ability to produce ATP in the presence of sun is due to the light-capturing pigment that it gains from the genes transferred from fungi.

As pea aphid do not have any chloroplast and it cannot fix carbon so it is not a true autotroph. We can say it false autotroph because it can produce ATP in the presence of sunlight and can show increased production of ATP at the higher level of pigment.
