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 :))

Use of fossil fuels has increased the total amount of carbon in the carbon cycle.
nika2105 [10]

The correct answer is option a. true.

The fossil fuels, including coal and oil are present very deep inside the earth. In the carbon cycle, only fixation of atmospheric carbon dioxide in the organic material takes place. This cycle does not involve the recycling of the fossil fuels.

The burning of the fossil fuels directly release carbon dioxide and other carbon compound in the atmosphere, which was not involved in the cycle when it was present deep beneath the earth and ocean. Hence, the burning of fossil fuels increases the amount of carbon in the carbon cycle.
