How does using killed or weakened bacteria in an immunization help the body prevent infections?

Biology
1 answer:
Ray Of Light [21]3 years ago
4 0
The answer is A.) Antibodies are formed that fight those types of bacteria.

To explain, your immune system protects you from invasive bacteria by attacking and destroying them. The problem is that your system needs to recognize invading organisms like bacteria. Remember that bacteria cells have many of the same types of structures as your own cells, and you do not want your immune system to attack your own body. Special cells called T-cells and B-cells participate in this process. To make a long story short, antibodies are special molecules that your immune system "labels" invading bacteria with, so that it knows what to attack. These antibodies only fit on molecular structures of the targeted bacteria.

When a dead or weakened bacteria, or even pieces of a bad bacteria are introduced to the body, the B-cells and T-cells create antibodies that label that specific type of bacteria, or even its parts. They also remember how to make them in the future, so that later, when and if infected with a live version of that bacteria, the immune system already makes the antibodies to fight that infection. The process can work for viruses too.

Worms move using an hydrostatic skeleton. How do worms move?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Worms move through changes in body structure caused by contraction of muscles compressing their watery fluid.

Explanation:

The hydroskeleton consists of a fluid-filled cavity, surrounded by muscles. The fluid pressure and the action of the muscles that border it, serve to change the body's shape and produce a movement such as digging or swimming. The successive contraction of various metamers, which are provided with bundles of circular and longitudinal muscle fibers, stretching and thickening parts of the body, allow it to move horizontally. Hydrostatic skeletons have a role in the locomotion of annelids, nematodes and other invertebrates. The hydroskeleton has similarities with the hydrostatic muscles.

An experiment testing the hypothesis that nitrogen markers shoot farther than carbon dioxide markers resulted in conflicting tes
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

They should think of an alternative explanation for their results.

Explanation:

The next step that the scientists should take is to interpret why their hypothesis went wrong. The researchers should look for patterns in their observations and provide an alternative explanation for the results which occurred. Based on the results and their understandings, they should further make another hypothesis and check for its authenticity.

In scientific researches, the results of a hypothesis generally do not get the expected results but this leads to new findings and discoveries.

Describe how cooperativity of oxygen binding in hemoglobin is advantageous for the transport of oxygen from the lungs to the tis
Nostrana [21]
The affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen is less than its structural analog myoglobin. However, this does not affect hemoglobin's usefulness for the body; on the contrary, it allows hemoglobin to be a  more efficient carrier than myoglobin. This is because hemoglobin can release oxygen more easily than can myoglobin. It is both important for oxygen to be carried to different areas and also to be released when needed. The higher affinity of a given protein for oxygen, the harder it will be for that protein to release oxygen when needed. Therefore, hemoglobin's lower affinity for oxygen serves it well because it allows hemoglobin to release oxygen more easily in the body.
