Answer:

The first immunoglobulin to arrive is M, IgM

Explanation:

Immunoglobulins are the molecules that intervene in defense against microorganisms, foreign cells and against substances that can cause allergies. They are also known as antibodies. IgM is specific and is the first antibody that appears in primary infections, so its value and quantity is very important to diagnose an infection.

Explanation:

Immunoglobulin M is the first antibody produced on initial exposure to an antigen. It is also known as IgM.

It occurs as a primary response to the antigens against a particular baterium or virus. It is pentavalent in nature and has ten binding sites for antigens.

Therefore, it is concluded that when the body identifies a bacterium or a virus, it releases the antibody IgM.

The best way seperate salt fron wateris with the use of
ExtremeBDS [4]

You can boil or evaporate the water and the salt will be left behind as a solid. If you want to collect the water, you can use distillation. This works because salt has a much higher boiling point than water. One way to separate salt and water at home is to boil the salt water in a pot with a lid. So, I would say maybe oil.

Which best describes nuclear fission
Firlakuza [10]
<span>Nuclear fission is either a nuclear reaction or radio active decay process in which nucleus (the center) of an atom splits into smaller parts called nuclei. This is an extremely exothermic reaction (i.e a reaction which produces heat) resulting into release of massive amount of energy in the form of heat and sometimes light. The reaction produces much more energy as compared to a similar mass of a conventional fuel, such as Petrol/Kerosene/Petroleum Gas etc. This makes Nuclear fission an extremely dense and at times very destructive source of energy. Some common elements capable of Nuclear fission are Uranium, Plutonium etc. Though in modern days Nuclear Fission are finding application in being a source of energy (such as a Nuclear power plant), but they are also used in destructive format as Nuclear Bombs and it's one of the top most imminent threats to the existence of humanity in future (in the event of a Nuclear war).</span>

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The expression to calculate the mass of the reactant is m = \frac{1.080kJ}{31.2kJ/g}

Explanation:

<em>The amount of heat released is equal to the amount of heat released per gram of reactant times the mass of the reactant.</em> To keep to coherence between units we need to transform 1,080 J to kJ. We do so with proportions:

1,080J.\frac{1kJ}{10^{3}J } =1.080kJ

Then,

1.080kJ=31.2\frac{kJ}{g} .m\\m = \frac{1.080kJ}{31.2kJ/g}
