Biology

Troyanec [42]4 years ago

Answer:

The statement that best reflects the connection between specific and non-specific immune systems is that nonspecific immune system is designed as  a first line of defense against microorganisms,  while the specific immune system uses  antibodies to attack specific antigens.

Explanation:

The non-specific immune system is a response that organizes the body's defense against attack from any harmful agent, trying in the first instance to eliminate it. The non-specific response is natural and innate, and examples of this response are mechanisms such as sneezing, coughing and inflammation.

The specific immune system is acquired, and requires exposure to a harmful agent - called an antigen - to develop an appropriate response to attack that agent, such as the production of specific antibodies.

For this reason,<u> the first barrier of defense is provided by the nonspecific immune system, and then the specific immune system acts</u>.

Didn't even mean to do this
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

If an organism has a beneficial trait, they have a higher chance of survival, and if they can survive they can reproduce too.

Example: Speckled moths camouflage with the bark of trees and are not easily seen by predators. Black moths do not camouflage with the bark of trees and are easily seen by predators, therefore the black moths are eaten. Because the black moths have been eaten they cannot reproduce and pass on the trait for black wings to their offspring, but the speckled moths are able to reproduce because they survived and are able to pass on the speckled wing trait to their offspring.

In the process of diffusion, when sugar is mixed with water, equilibrium would be reached
Sholpan [36]
The dissolved sugar molecules is distributed evenly all over the solution. 
The equilibrium is reached through diffusion. Diffusion is the net movement of molecules and atoms from a high concentration to area of lower concentration. This is considered as the result of the movement of molecules. Diffusion is driven by a gradient until the molecules are distributed randomly and uniformly all throughout the solution. This can be manifested by perfume sprayed in the air, dye dropped in a water. The distinguishing features of diffusion is that particle move randomly and in uniform pattern.
