Answer:

The given blank can be filled with complement.

Explanation:

The complement system refers to an array of proteins found in the normal plasma, which allows antibodies to eradicate bacteria. It is known as a complement as it helps in the antibacterial activity of the antibodies. In the complement system, the proteins present react with each other to combine with the pathogens and initiate an inflammatory cascade reaction to fight the infection.  

The complement system acts against the pathogens in three ways. Initially, it stimulates a huge number of complement proteins, which combine with the pathogens so that they can get consumed by the phagocytes.  

After that, the components of the complement proteins can function as chemoattractants to accommodate phagocytes. And lastly, the components of the complement system at the termination of the chain destruct the bacteria by creating holes in their membrane.

zepelin [54]
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone, luteinizing hormone (LH for short) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH for short).

When this hormone reaches the pituitary gland, it releases two more hormones into the bloodstream: the LH and FSH. Although boys and girls do have these hormones, it depends on their sexual orientation the way these hormones work.

There are two different species of finch that live on the same small island, species A andspecies
frosja888 [35]

On the islands of the Galapagos lives a group of birds called finches. There are 13 species in this group. These species have diverse ecologies--some eat seeds, some eat insects, some eat fruit, and some even eat cactus. Although the bodies of these species look fairly similar, their beaks are very different. That is because it is their beak that is adapted to these diverse ways of feeding (Figure 8.14).
