When a pathogen enters the body, cells in the blood and lymph detect the specific pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) on the pathogen's surface. The immune system can be activated by a lot of different things that the body doesn't recognize as its own. These are called antigens. Examples of antigens include the proteins on the surfaces of bacteria, fungi and viruses. ... Sometimes the immune system mistakenly thinks that the body's own cells are foreign cells. Antigens are proteins that are found on the surface of the pathogen. ... The antibodies destroy the antigen (pathogen) which is then engulfed and digested by macrophages. White blood cells can also produce chemicals called antitoxins which destroy the toxins (poisons) some bacteria produce when they have invaded the body.

hope this helps :))

If a scientist is studying the attraction of water molecules to each other, what property is he or she studying?
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer: Cohesion

Explanation:

The cohesive attraction or cohesive forces is the action or property of like molecules which stick together.

It can be intrinsic forces that can be caused by the structure and shape of water. This allows the water molecules to stick to each other.

Due to this phenomenon of water it has a spherical shape and it flows in a liner motion.

Hence, the force that is present between two water molecules is cohesion.

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

RNA

Explanation:

CRISPR system was discovered by a Japanese scientist. Naturally <u>bacteria and many other prokaryotes</u> have <u>CRISPR system in their genome</u> which they use as a<u> self defense against a pathogen</u> which is invading them. It consists of<u> inter spaced, short palindromic nucleotide repeats </u>which <u>encode a guide RNA (gRNA)</u>. This guide RNA (gRNA) recognizes the<u> target sequence</u> on the pathogen. The <u>gRNA is followed by Cas9 enzyme</u> which along with the gRNA plays a very important <u>role in breaking genome</u> of the pathogen. Once the target gene is cut down the rest of the DNA can be rejoined by<u> non homologous end joining. </u>

But nowadays, scientists are using this system for <u>genome editing</u> and <u>incorporating desired gene</u> between the two ends which are cut down by <u>CRISPR Cas9 system.</u>

Why is it necessary to model the concept above?
aniked [119]

Answer:

You did not write the concept, so i will try to answer in a general way.

Why sometimes we really need to model concepts?

Well, sometimes the things are really complicated, or we just do not have the knowledge or tools to fully understand them.

Here is where the models came to be handy, we can somewhat "simplify" the things, and explain them with models.

For example, the movement of a particle as the wind pushes it can be really complex, so this can only be explained with a model.

Now, once we have a model (supported by theory and experiments) we can start to investigating furthermore in the given subject.

So for example, we could model how a given therapy acts on a given disease, and with that model, we could extrapolate the effects of the therapy in a similar disease (for example, testing how radiotherapy acts on a given tumor in some organ, can give information on how the same therapy can act on other types of tumors)

Concluding, models simplify some concepts, which allow us to understand them and work better with them
