As a baby, Gina was exposed to a pathogen. Because of passive immunity, Gina's body was able to fight off the pathogen before sh
Serhud [2]

First of all, it is important to understand the difference between passive and active immunity.

Passive immunity is when we are given antibodies that were not produced by our own body (for example those transferred from mother to child, or those taken as part of medication or therapy - note that the former would be an example of naturally acquired passive immunity and the latter of artificially acquired passive immunity).

Active immunity, on the other hand, refers to antibodies that were produced by our own bodies due to exposure to a pathogen or part thereof - this can also be naturally acquired, such as when we are infected by a pathogen, or artificially, such as when we are vaccinated.

Given this information, what enabled Gina to fight the pathogen would be the second answer (antibodies she received from her mother), however we can also look at the other answers and discount them as false to be sure:

Answer 1 - high fever caused by a pathogen

The question states that Gina was able to fight off the pathogen before she got sick - a fever suggests that:

a) she is already sick

b) her body is launching its own immune response

Answer 3 - antibodies she received from a vaccination

The antibodies produced as a result of vaccination are produced by your own body (despite being stimulated artificially through exposure to the pathogen), thus this is not the correct answer.

Answer 4: inflammation caused by antibodies

This answer is incorrect due to the fact that antibodies do not directly cause inflammation.

Thus, the correct answer is the second one 'antibodies she received from her mother'.

Hope that helps :)

Pani-rosa [81]

The test result that would be elevated due to the fruity odor is ketones.

<h3 /><h3>What is urinalysis?</h3>

Urinalysis is a chemical, physical and microscopical examination carried out on a urine sample. This can be used to detect a wide range of disorders such as:

  • urinary tract infections,

  • kidney disease and

  • diabetes.

The dipstick method of urinalysis uses a stick that is made up of chemicals which are capable of detecting the following through a colour change:

  • Ketones,
  • sugar,
  • proteins,
  • acidity, and
  • blood.

The presence of fruity odor in the urine sample signifies that there is excess ketone in the body due to ketoacidosis.

Mashutka [201]
Jeffery Arnett is a physiologist who coined the term "emerging adulthood." This has previously been known as; delayed adulthood, transition age youth, youthhood, and the twixter years. He believes that the period between adolescence and adulthood is when the person reaches adulthood but doesn't have children, have sufficient funds, or have their own home. He believes it starts at 18 and ends around 25 years of age. He thinks this is when people are still looking for love, make money to spend on recreational activities, and trying to develop their own identities. This theory is highly controversial and has been contested by developmental psychologists.
