Answer: The purpose of the respiratory burst is most likely to provide energy for the rapid acidification of phagosomes via proton pumps

Explanation:

Bacteria is known to be a single celled organism, without nucleus and organelles but cell wall, therefore, they should be usually exposed quickly to acidic conditions following phagocytosis. Failing to abide by that could simply lead to replication within the phagosome and hence cause lysis of the immune cells. Macrophages can get their phagosomes acidified to pH level of ~1.5.

Explain what a conservative Social Darwinist would believe that the government should do about poverty and exploitation of labor
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

Many Social Darwinists embraced laissez-faire capitalism and racism. They believed that government should not interfere in the “survival of the fittest” by helping the poor, and promoted the idea that some races are biologically superior to others.

Social Darwinists believe in “survival of the fittest”—the idea that certain people become powerful in society because they are innately better. Social Darwinism has been used to justify imperialism, racism, eugenics and social inequality at various times over the past century and a half.

In the late 1800s, many Americans enthusiastically embraced Spencer's "Social Darwinism" to justify laissez-faire, or unrestricted, capitalism. In 1859, Charles Darwin published Origin of Species, which explained his theory of animal and plant evolution based on "natural selection."
