The answer is D, white blood cells.
The main function of white blood cells is to defense the body from bacteria or other pathogens. There's 2 main kinds of white blood cells, lymphocytes and phagocytes. Lymphocytes mainly produce antibodies that can kill bacteria or any pathogens, and phagocytes can ingest the pathogens directly.
Therefore, since the white blood cells can protect our body, they're part of our immune system.
The cytochrome oxidase test is used primarily for the identification of GRAM NEGATIVE ORGANISM.
The oxidase test is used to identify bacteria which synthesize cytochrome C oxidase enzyme, which is an enzyme of the bacterial electron transport chain.
Answer and Explanation: The figure below shows the doses of BPA administered to the female mice over time.
An experiment is used to determine cause and effect among variables. When the research is for the impact of a treatment, researchers randomly separate individuals in two groups:
- <em><u>Control</u></em> <em><u>Group</u></em> doesn't receive any treament or a placebo or a treatment whose outcome is already known;
- <em><u>Treatment</u></em> <em><u>Group</u></em> receives the treatment;
For the female mice on the image below, in the First Group is not injected any dosage of BPA, so they are the control group, while the <u>others</u> are <u>treatment group</u>.
The variables in a experiment are classified as independents or dependents:
- <em><u>Independent</u></em> <em><u>Variable</u></em> is the cause;
- <em><u>Dependent</u></em> <em><u>Variable</u></em> is the effect;
For the BPA research, since it is the effect of BPA over time on the mice's cells it is being investigated, <u>dosage</u> of BPA is the <u>independent</u> variable and <em>time</em> is the <em>dependent</em> variable.
Answer:
b. characterized by a lucid interval immediately after injury.
Explanation:
Epidural bleeding is the accumulation of blood between the dura (membrane lining the brain) and the skull. This bruise is typically caused by an acute head trauma that ruptures the middle meningeal artery. This bleeding is characterized by a lucid interval immediately after an injury to this region.
This bleeding has its most frequent location at the temporal lobe level, between the bone and the dura mater. It is due to rupture of the middle meningeal artery, usually by a temporal bone fracture. The artery runs on the outer surface of the dura, housed in a groove in the inner bone board. The fracture may clamp or cut the artery, leading to a bruise.
Answer:
Warning coloration (aposematism) is effectively the "opposite" of camouflage and a special case of advertising. Its function is to make the animal, for example, a wasp or a coral snake, highly conspicuous to potential predators, so that it is noticed, remembered, and then avoided.
