Answer:
Option D, Gastric Juices
Explanation:
The second line of defense is a non specific defense mechanism in which no specific individual is targeted but all invaders are killed in general way. Some common mode of second line of defense are - Phagocytic cells (white blood cells), inflammatory responses, macrophage system etc. The second line of defense comes into action when the invader has surpassed the first line of defense which include either physical barrier like skin, mucous membrane, hair, cilia etc. or chemical barriers like gastric juices, saliva, Hyaluronic acid etc.
Hence, gastric juice does not belong to second line of defense.
Thus, option D is correct.
By looking at the diagram, and my knowledge of Punnett squares, i would say B. 4:16
Answer:
* Glucose may cause an increase in bacterial growth - HYPOTHESIS
* The bacterial colonies grown without glucose don’t have capsules around their cells - OBSERVATION
* Bacterial growth in the glucose environment increased rapidly and then stopped after some time - OBSERVATION
* Increased glucose may lead to capsule formation in bacteria - HYPOTHESIS
Explanation:
In an experiment, a HYPOTHESIS is a predictive and testable statement that aims to answer a scientific question while an observation is made based on the results obtained.
According to this question, Annie wants to study the effect of glucose on bacterial colonies. She conducted the experiment by growing two colonies of bacteria - one with glucose present in the environment and one in an environment without glucose. Based on this experiment, the following statements are categorized as:
- Glucose may cause an increase in bacterial growth is a HYPOTHESIS
- The bacterial colonies grown without glucose don’t have capsules around their cells is an OBSERVATION
- Bacterial growth in the glucose environment increased rapidly and then stopped after some time is an OBSERVATION
- Increased glucose may lead to capsule formation in bacteria is a HYPOTHESIS
Answer:
Passive transport.
Explanation:
The transport of molecules across the plasma membrane can occur by the two process- active transport and passive transport. No amount of energy is required during the active transport.
Passive transport includes the diffusion and osmosis. Both the diffusion and osmosis do not require energy and the molecules move down from the region of higher concentration towards the region of lower concentration. Small molecules, ions and proteins can go through the passive transport.
Thus, the correct answer is option (c).
