Answer:

The correct answer is option a, that is, a virus.

Explanation:

It is clearly mentioned in the question, that the blood is filtered via a porous substance, which restricts all the cells to pass through it, thus, of the mentioned options the only virus is a component, which is not a cell, while all the other mentioned things are formed of cells.  

Viruses are not formed of cells, they do not possess the tendency to maintain themselves in a steady condition, and they cannot grow and even cannot produce their own energy. Though they can adapt and replicate on the basis of their surroundings. Hence, the viruses are more like androids in comparison to the real living species.  

A viral disease takes place when the body of an organism gets invaded by the pathogenic viruses, and the infectious particles of viruses get combined with and enter the vulnerable cells. The host shows the symptoms of the illness after some days of invasion when the virus starts to proliferate.

Which of the following is an example of specific immunity?
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Immunity to Small Pox

Explanation:

Over the years, Europeans had built up an immunity to smallpox because many had contracted the disease and still survived. As the population grew children were born with some immunity to the disease. When the Europeans arrived in the Americas, and smallpox spread around the native peoples, the Europeans did not contract the disease because they were immune. However, since the natives were not immune, they slowly died of due just to the disease as well as some parts of the war between the europeans.
