Answer: The correct answer is- D) Sweat.

Non specific defense is a type of immune response ( also called innate immune response) that does not target any specific disease causing organism ( pathogen such as any specific bacteria or virus).

It is mainly provided by the surface of body ( such as skin that acts as an important barrier against external agents).

Sweat is an example of non specific chemical defense as it makes the surface of skin ( epithelium) acidic, thereby inhibiting the growth of pathogens ( such as bacteria) on it.

Thus, option D) is the right answer.

A Venus flytrap closes around a small insect. Which life characteristic does this illustrate? A. reproduction B. response to sti
Mnenie [13.5K]
The answer is B: Response to stimuli
what response to stimuli means is that the organism reacts to something around it
the venus flytrap wouldn't just randomly close for no reason
it had to sense the fly, and react by closing.

it's not permeability because permeability means allowing things to pass through like soaking up water
unless your teacher is referring to absorbing the nutrients of the dead fly after it's been killed
but I don't think that's what this question is about

PLEASE HELP ASAP
Stels [109]

The right answer is B.

Nitrogen fixation is done by decomposers that are prokaryotes (bacteria).

<u>Take the example of legumes. </u>

The different species of rhizobia bacteria, which are able to infect the roots of legumes (Fabaceae family), are specific to certain host plants. Rhizobium phaseoli infects beans (Phaseolus sp).

Bacteria cause the formation of nodules on the roots by penetrating the root hairs, and transform into larger "bacteroids". The nodules are the seat of a symbiotic activity in which the plant provides the sugars and energy from photosynthesis, and in return benefits from the amino acids that are produced there.
