Answer: Antimicrobial proteins.

Explanation:

Antimicrobial proteins are the type of proteins produced by the keratinocytes on the body surfaces. These proteins acts as the barrier and kills the microorganism which is trying to enter the body.

These are larger proteins containing more than 100 amino acids. They are often lytic in nature.

The cell membrane of the microbes is disrupted by the action of these amino acids or proteins on them.

Choose two organisms from the following list. Describe a structural adaptation and ehow it helps the organism survive in its env
Dafna1 [17]
Since IDK which two you would choose, I'll just list all of them: fish have developed a light, streamlined body to get through water quickly to evade predators with and swim with ease, owls have big eyes so their pupils can get enough light to see in the dark since they're nocturnal, their light bodies and special (Fluffy???) flight feathers let it fly with virtually no sound, allowing it to sneak up on prey, tortoises have a large, hard shell for protection from predators and provides a mobile home on their back! Bats may be practically blind but that doesn't stop them when using echolocation to detect prey and chase it no matter what moves they make or obstacles in the way, snowshoe hares have big feet to sit on top of the snow in the cold winters where they live, their fur also changes colors as the snow melts and the plants start coming back in the more warmer seasons, poison dart frogs, sorry, IDK, cacti have developed spines all over them as self defense, (from what IDK) and they can last a long time without water (I think, don't quote me on that ^^') hope this helps

The light-independent reactions of photosynthesis, also known as the Calvin cycle, use and produce a variety of molecules. Sort
Margaret [11]

Molecules brought in and used in the calvin cycle - Carbon dioxide (CO_2) , Ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP)

Molecules produced during the calvin cycle that leave the cycle - a few of the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P), NADP+

Molecules used and regenerated within the calvin cycle - most of the Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) , NADPH

<u>Explanation:</u>

Calvin cycle is the light independent reaction that takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast. Calvin cycle uses ATP and NADPH produced during the light reaction. Calvin cycle occurs in 3 steps, they are:

1. Carbon fixation - (CO_2) combines with Ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP) to form 2 molecules of 3-phosphoglyceric acid (3-PGA).

2. Reduction - ATP and NADPH is used to convert 3-PGA into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P).

3. Regeneration - some G3P molecule form glucose while other regenerates to form RuBP acceptor.

1. Answer;

It facilitates the movement of the fetus towards the pelvic girdle thus the child is born headfirst.

Explanation:

  • The diastasis recti reduce with time due since the rectus muscles come close to each other enabling a human being to live a normal life because flexion, bending and stability becomes easy.

4. <u>Answer</u>

  • Pelvic floor muscles
  • Stomach muscles
  • Abdominal muscles
  • Perineal muscles
  • Uterine muscles

<u>Explanation</u>

  • Abdominal muscles are stretched to their limit by term. They greatly decrease the ability to perform strong contraction.
  • Pelvic floor is vulnerable to muscular and neurological injury during labor and delivery.  
  • Perineal muscle tightening strengthens the pubococcygeus muscle and increases its tone.

5. Answer and explanation;

  • Sports that can lead to falling down e.g. skating
  • Sports that may involve altitude change
  • Exercises that involve lying flat on your back
  • Exercises that involve holding o breath
  • Motionless standing

6. Answer

Yes

Explanation

;

  • Exercise maintains physical fitness, health and wellness aiding growth to the unborn since the mother gains enough strength and energy and there is proper blood flow.
  • Many pregnant women tend to gain weight which may lead to health difficulties for example struggling to breath. The pregnant lady is able to cope with labor and she is able to get back in shape after the baby is born.
