Answer:
a. a set of proteins involved in innate but not acquired immunity.
Explanation:
The complement system are a set of proteins or protein fragments that play a major role in the innate immune system. The complement system is involved in the defense of the body from foreign pathogen through specific plasma proteins that participate in leukocyte activation, chemotaxis and opsonization. In other words, they increase the ability of phagocytes and antibodies to mop up damaged cells and foreign microorganism, activate inflammation process.
Some of these proteins include complement component 3 (C3), complement component 9 (C9) and C1Q complex.
The correct answer is actually
B) energy that flows from warmer objects to cooler objects.
because temperature is a measure of the average amount of energy possessed by an object due to the random motions of its particles. Heat is the energy that flows from warmer objects to cooler objects. Heat cannot flow in the opposite direction.
1. Enterococcus and coliforms can enter the water through feces. Although a water sample is negative for these bacteria, it could still be infected by pathogens from other sources than feces.
2. Culture media are sterilized by filtration because they could contain antibiotics or serum which deteriorate upon heat. Filtration is used in sanitation to remove large particles.
3. In the membrane filter technique, it is assumed that <span>all viable bacteria will form colonies. This means that formed colonies develop from the viable bacteria so that the number of colonies suggests the number of bacteria.
4. E. coli is negative for Citrate and Voges-Proskauer tests, and is positive for Indole and Methyl red tests.
5. The answer is yes because eo</span><span>sin-methylene blue agar is inhibitory to Gram+ bacteria.</span>
Answer:
The option c is partly correct.
Explanation:
None of the statements is completely accurate because:
a. Saurischian dinosaurs include theropod and sauropod dinosaurs, and their common ancestors. Ornithischians comprise neornithischians (ornithopods and ceratopsians), thyreophorans (ankylosaurs and stegosaurs) and heterdontosaurids.
b. Capability to fly has only been documented in fossils belonging to Saurischia (where the birds are also classified in). Feathers, on the other hand, do appear in the two clades. Feathers, however, are not a trait exclusively associated to flight.
c. This is a correct comparison between ornithischians and saurischians in the sense that the attributes do belong to these clades, but when comparing animals there most be a comparison that reflects a pattern. Ornithischians have leaf shaped teeth suited to eat plant material, whereas saurischians have teeth for a carnivore and herbivore diet.
d. Sauropods are saurischians and they evolved herbivory from a meat-eater ancestor.
