Answer:

The given blanks can be filled with white pulp and red pulp.

Explanation:

In the lymphatic system, the spleen is considered as the largest organ. It is situated in the upper left part of the abdominal cavity, the main function of the spleen is to filter blood containing the destructed cells, pathogens like viruses and bacteria, and cellular debris.  

The spleen generates and develops the mature immune cells, which possess the tendency of finding and eliminating the pathogens. The white pulp of the spleen comprises the immune cells, that is, the B and T lymphocytes, which help in fighting against the pathogens.  

On the other hand, the red pulp of the spleen comprises connective tissue called the cords of Billroth, and various splenic sinusoids, which are filled with blood, providing it a red appearance. Its main function is to filter the blood containing microbes, pathogens, and worn-out or the defective RBCs.

A species with narrow niches that can survive in a small range of environmental conditions are
Ugo [173]

Answer:

D. Specialist Species

<h2>What is the advantage for species to be specialists, and how can they survive in the presence of opportunistic/generalist species?</h2>

In the setting of specialized habitats or unique situations, specialized species exist. When those conditions and surroundings change, they must adapt or go extinct, thus they must survive while they still exist.

When compared to generalists, they have the benefit of efficiency, which increases the likelihood of survival and, hence, reproduction within certain settings or situations. The generalists, on the other hand, have the benefit of being able to survive in a larger variety of circumstances and have a higher probability of doing so.

Cactuses, which are plants adapted to dry environments, are an example of specialization. More generalist plant species would typically outcompete cacti in most habitats on Earth, but very few of such species could endure the harsh conditions of a desert.

Extreme environmental conditions, competition for limited resources, and "evolutionary arms races" are some of the pressures that cause specialization. Cheetahs sprint quickly both because their prey moves quickly and because quicker cheetahs will be more effective hunters and more likely to procreate. The advantage of specialization is clear when seen from the standpoint of catching the next meal on a daily basis.

My key argument is that specialization's benefits must always be viewed in the context of the environment that generated the selective pressure that resulted in specialization. Although experts are specialists because they must be, their specializations put them in danger.
