Answer:

White blood cells.

Explanation:

The first line of defence (or outside defence system) includes physical and chemical barriers that are always ready and prepared to defend the body from infection. These include your skin, tears, mucus, cilia, stomach acid, urine flow, 'friendly' bacteria and white blood cells called neutrophils.

Answer:

<em>Skin</em>

Explanation:

Your skin is a barrier. The top layer of skin is made up of cells that are packed in a tight, overlapping pattern. Lipids that your body produces seal the tiny space between the cells, creating a barrier that's essentially waterproof and pathogens-proof. When pathogens such as bacteria or viruses land on your skin, they simply cannot enter your body.

Your skin also secretes several substances that help kill pathogens. Sweat, for example, does a lot more than keep you cool on a hot day. It contains an enzyme that breaks down bacterial cells. And, your skin's surface is naturally somewhat acidic, which prevents many types of pathogens from growing.

Biologists use ball-and-stick models to study complex molecules by representing atoms with balls and bonds with sticks. DNA is a
Vitek1552 [10]
Most models can't incorporate all the details of complex natural phenomena. For example, when measuring distances around the Earth it's convenient to model the Earth as a sphere, but this doesn't incorporate variations in distance because of mountain ranges, valleys and other topological features the traveler must traverse. Incorporating these additional details would make the model too complex for easy use. Since models must be simple enough that you can use them to make predictions, they often leave out some of the details.

ALSO.

The conformation of molecules are based on probability. It fails to take into account the electronegativity of individual atoms. And it is ineffective in showing inorganic interactions with metals and such.

Mason drew the cladogram shown. Which statements best describes the cladogram? Select three options. (HURRY I WILL MARK BRAINLIE
Yuki888 [10]

Answer: Correct options B, D and E.

Explanation:

In the cladogram, we can see that in the first branch we have a division, one branch goes to fish and the other goes to a division (a division means a common ancestor)

Then the fish are the most primitive (being directly related to the first ancestor)., E is true.

We also can see that between fish and birds we have 3 separations (the ancestor in common is 3 "generations" behind), and between frog and birds we have two separations (the common ancestor is 2 "generations" behind), so frogs are more closely related to birds than fish.

So D is also true.

We also can see that the only pair that has only one ancestor in common are birds and reptiles, so the ones that are most closely related are birds and reptiles. B is also true,
