Biology
1 answer:
professor190 [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Immune system of the body helps in fighting with the infectious agents that are foreign for the body. So the immune system protects us from infection.

When any foreign substance(antigen) comes in the body B-lymphocyte recognize it by binding the antigen through its receptor. After recognizing the antigen, B cell divides into antibody-producing plasma cell and memory cell.

Antibodies produced by plasma cells help in destroying the antigen by getting the antigen recognized by phagocytic cells or by complement activation.

B cells are antigen-presenting cell which present antigen to T cell and then T cell activates and produce chemicals that kill the antigen. Therefore the immune system has many immune cells that activate when an antigen comes in the body. This is how the immune system functions.

Describe the impact of crabs going extinct in this ecosystem. Who will be the most positively affected?
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

the prey of crabs would be positively affected, and the predators of crabs would take a negative effect to the extinction of crabs

Explanation:

small clams, starfish, snails, worms, squid, mussels, shrimp and small fish would all be positively affected if crabs were to go extinct, because all that is listed are part of a crabs diet, for both large and small crabs. the ones which would be negatively affected would be the predators of crabs, such as cobia, eels, striped bass, jellyfish, red drum, American eels, sharks, dogfish, sea rays, and smaller fish. they would take a negative affect to the extinction of crabs because as said before, these are all predators of crabs, so the extinction would remove them from their diet, forcing them to find other sources for food
