During the initial exposure to the allergen, contact is made with B cells, these B cells differentiate and produce IgE antibody. The IgE antibodies which works against the allergens are released into the blood stream where they binds to Fc receptors which are located on mast cells and basophils. Now, the mast cells has become sensitized and they will wait patiently for the second exposure. When contact with the allergen is made the second time, the allergen becomes attached to the IgE present on the mast cells and this result in degranulation which trigger a lot of allergic responses.

swat32

Phagocytes refer to the procedure by which some kind of living cells known as phagocytes engulfs or ingest other cells or particles. The phagocyte may be a free-living one-celled species, like an amoeba, or one of the body cells, like a white blood cell.  

In higher species, phagocytosis is mainly a defensive mechanism against infection and invasion of the body by the antigens, that is, foreign particles.  

Thus, phagocytosis is illustrated by most types of white blood cells ingesting bacteria, viruses, and other foreign substances.

yKpoI14uk [10]
The finch population on each island was unique. (correct statement) This is due to evolution, the finches beak size is a good example as the nuts on each island were different and the larger/smaller a beak was, it represented  a change in the finch population so that they could break open the nuts easier.

26. As you study two closely related predatory insect species, the two-spot and the three-spot avenger beetles, you notice that
Alina [70]

Answer:

D) resource partitioning.

Explanation:

Resource partitioning explains how species that are similar (in this case the two-spot and the three-spot avenger beetles) use their resources together (coexist). They live in the same community and use the same resources, but they don't push one another to extinction through competition. They use the same limiting resource at different  time and thus, compete less with one another.
