Answer:

Antibodies

Explanation:

Bordetella pertussis is an obligate human pathogen and is the etiological agent of whooping cough. It is known to be an opportunistic organism.

The pathogenic mechanism of Bordetella pertussis is also known as virulence factor. These virulence factors are known to include adhesins such as filamentous haemagglutinin, fimbriae and pertactin, which allow B. pertussis to bind to ciliated epithelial cells in the upper respiratory tract.

It is known to be the agent of whooping cough, a highly contagious respiratory disease, dramatic for infants and also for elderly and pregnant women.

In this case, the antibodies will be the response that is uniquely directed against the organism. It is said earlier that this organism is an opportunistic one, this means that it causes infection when the immunity is down. So, when the immunity is empowered , it will definitely fight against the organism

How do coral reefs help with climate stability?
DedPeter [7]

The coral reefs help with climate stability because they serve as homes for species that build exoskeletons from carbon.

Carbon in the form of carbon dioxide has been reported to be a major factor in the climate instability of the planet. This is because they are parts of the greenhouse gases that form a blanket layer over the atmosphere and prevent reflected sun rays from escaping back to space.

Thus, greenhouse gases cause the earth's atmosphere to warm up, a phenomenon known as global warming. The warming, in turn, leads to the unpredictability of several climatic factors.

With the majority of the species living in coral reefs helping to make use of carbon dioxide to build their exoskeleton, they are helping to reduce the concentration of the gas in the atmosphere and thereby reducing warming and erratic climatic changes.

DNA bases pair up in a specific way. In your own words, describe the base-pairing rules in any
joja [24]
Adenine always pairs with Thymine, and Cytosine always pairs up with Guanine in DNA. When dealing with RNA, however, Uracil replaces Thymine. So in RNA, A pairs with U and C pairs with G. (just a fun fact) :)
