Imagine you are a pathogen. You are trying to invade a human, and you find yourself moving through barriers. Describe the barrie

rs you face (the components of the immune system), how you move past these barriers and their response to you (immune responses). Include how this invasion would be easier if the human had a weakened immune system.

The different barriers that you have to go through are the different organs of the immune system. These are the lymphoid organs, thymus, and bone marrow. The secondary wall that you have to go through are the lymphatic tissues which include the lymph nodes, adenoids, skin, liver, tonsils, spleen, and the lymph vessels. 

At all times, these systems work hand-in-hand so that the body can protect itself in order for it to survive

Answer:

This explanation covered most of the points..

If I was a pathogen i would have to get past many barriers in order to infect the intended human. Barriers such as Physical barriers, chemical barriers, and biological barriers. A few examples of these would be, skin, saliva, mucus, and sneezing. However, if i were to get past all these barriers, i would still have to deal with problems inside the body such as the humans immune system and its special cells. An example would be the langerhans cells which are found in the dermis of the skin. These cells are responsible for identifying foreign material and carrying them to the lymph nodes for destruction which would be where i would be taken. However, if the humans body had a weak immune system or disorders such as an immunodeficiency, it would make it easier for me to infect the body. The reasons it would be easier is because when the body has an immune system disorder it decreases the production of antibodies, which can help fight me off, their body is more easily exposed to disease, immune cells mistake healthy cells as pathogens and abnormal cells will crowd out the healthy cells and steal nutrients from them.

An object with a kinetic energy of 200 J and Potential energy of 300 J, has a mechanical energy of what?
True [87]

Answer:

500 J

Explanation:

Emechanical=U+K,i.e., the mechanical energy Emechanical is the sum of the potential energy U and kinetic energy K.

So, the object has a mechanical energy of 200+300=500 J.

Why does a psychologist want the results to be statistically significant?
stira [4]
Psychologists use statistics to assist them in analyzing data, and also to give more precise measurements to describe whether something is statistically significant. Analyzing data using statistics enables researchers to find patterns, make claims, and share their results with others.

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Describe two effects of insecticide use on the forest ecosystem other than the intended reduction of moths to protect the trees.  

1. Insecticides when sprayed on a certain areas or spots can be blown by the wind to other areas or flow with rain water into nearby streams or local water bodies or seep through the soil into ground water. This is called indirect application or secondary poisoning,

2. Insecticides can affect the food chain because they reduce the biomass of primary consumers and there is is less food available to secondary consumers which eat poisoned plants or prey those who have been exposed to pesticides.

Insecticides can travel great distances through the environment and they can also flow with rain water into streams so fish can be directly or indirectly impacted by pesticides. The phenomenon of nutrient enrichment of aquatic bodies is known as eutrophication, which deteriorate the water quality leading to death of fish. Some long-term exposures cause abnormalities or mutations in developing fish larvae, while acute exposure can cause immediate fish die-offs. The liver, kidney, brain and gills of exposed fish are extremely vulnerable to chemical exposure.

What do you think can be learned from samples of sediment from the ocean floor?
AlexFokin [52]
Sea floor sediment provide an invaluable key to past climate change. Finely varved sediments from areas of rapid deposition provide a high-resolution record of past climate variation, and volcanic ash layers contribute to the comprehensive study of climate change on relatively short timescales. Oceanographers like to say that we know more about the dark side of the Moon than we do about the oceans. That statement is doubly true of the seafloor. Although modern technology has allowed us to learn more about the seafloor, vast regions remain unexplored. Scuba divers can only dive to about 40 meters and they cannot stay down there for very long. Although this is good for researching the organisms and ecosystems very near a coast, most oceanic research requires accessing greater depths.
