Answer:

(D). The Peyer’s patches can release B cells to destroy Listeria.

Explanation:

Payer's patches represent aggregated lymphatic tissue present in lowest part of small intestine. The main function of Payer's patches is to prevent growth of pathogens, such as bacteria in gut.

B lymphocytes present in Payer's patches produce antibodies against pathogens or their components and help other immune cells, such as T cells or macrophages to kill them.

Hence, Payer's patches of Christopher would fight with listeria infection. Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

D. The Peyer’s patches can release B cells to destroy Listeria

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • The lymphatic system helps maintain fluid balance in the body by collecting excess fluid and particulate matter from tissues and depositing them in the bloodstream.
  • It also helps defend the body against infection by supplying disease-fighting cells called lymphocytes.
  • <u>The lymph contains a high number of a type of white blood cells called lymphocytes. These cells fight infection and destroy damaged or abnormal cells</u>.

Black coffee has a pH around 5; hand soap has a pH of 10. How many times more acidic is coffee relative
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 10^5 \ or \ 100,000 \ times \ more \ acidic}}

Explanation:

The pH scale stands for the power or potential of hydrogen. It measures how acidic or basic a solution based on the concentration of hydrogen ions and a scale from 1 to 14.

This scale is unique because it is logarithmic. So, every time the pH changes by 1 on the scale, the actual concentration of the solution increases or decreases by a tenfold.

So, a solution with a pH of 7 is ten times more acidic than a solution with a pH of 8. This can be translated to:

10^ {difference \ in \ pH}

The black coffee has a pH of 5 and the hand soap has a pH of 10. We want to find how many times more acidic coffee is, so we subtract 5 from 10 and get 5. The difference in pH is 5.

10^5=100,000

Coffee is <u>10⁵ or 100,000 times more acidic than hand soap.</u>
