This food web represents a community in a rain forest.
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

coatis would increase

sloths would increase

fruit bats would increase

Explanation:

The boa constrictor in this food chain is the top predator, thus it is on the top of the food chain. It preys on several of the animals on this list, such as the coati, sloth, and fruit bats, so it is regulating their numbers. If the boa constrictor is removed from the ecosystem, the ecosystem will lose its predator, so the animals on which the boa constrictor preyed upon will have no threat, thus will experience rapid increase in their numbers. The coatis, sloths, and fruit bats, all will be predator free in this scenario, so they will all experience increase in their population, which in turn will have big effect on all other species in the ecosystem.

How does the body protect itself from the majority of pathogens it encounters?
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

In general, your body fights disease by keeping things out of your body that are foreign. Your primary defense against pathogenic germs are physical barriers like your skin. You also produce pathogen-destroying chemicals, like lysozyme, found on parts of your body without skin, including your tears and mucus membranes. In response to infection, your immune system springs into action. White blood cells, antibodies, and other mechanisms go to work to rid your body of the foreign invader. The immune system has a vital role: It protects your body from harmful substances, germs and cell changes that could make you ill. It is made up of various organs, cells and proteins.

Once infected cells have sensed an invading pathogen, they secrete molecules called cytokines and chemokines. These cells are then primed to resist an infection with the invading virus. Cytokines such as interferons activate anti-viral genes in the infected and neighbouring cells.

Microorganisms capable of causing disease—or pathogens—usually enter our bodies through the eyes, mouth, nose, or urogenital openings, or through wounds or bites that breach the skin barrier. Organisms can spread, or be transmitted, by several routes.

The second line of defense is nonspecific resistance that destroys invaders in a generalized way without targeting specific individuals: Phagocytic cells ingest and destroy all microbes that pass into body tissues. For example macrophages are cells derived from monocytes (a type of white blood cell).

If pathogens do manage to enter the body, the body's second line of defense attacks them. The second line of defense includes inflammation, phagocytosis, and fever.
