Answer:

D) adhesion

Explanation:

Adhesion is a water property that allows water molecules to adhere to each other. This can occur thanks to its polarity. Water tends to attract and be attracted to other polar molecules. This attraction between water molecules and other polar molecules is called adhesion. When the slope occurs the water surface becomes curved, as shown in the figure.

Water molecules do not bind with nonpolar molecules, ie there is no adhesion. Therefore it is not evenly distributed on a waxed surface, and forms separate droplets on them, as the wax is nonpolar.

Answer:

The answer is <em><u>D. </u></em>

Explanation:

Viruses can evade the processing and presentation of antigens, for example by interfering with the expression of MHC class I proteins, although this increases their susceptibility to be detected by natural killer cells (NK). However, some members of the herpesvirus, papillomavirus, retrovirus, poxvirus and flavivirus families have also developed strategies to escape the attack of NK cells and promote their survival, inhibiting cell apoptosis. Finally, some pathogens often change surface antigens frequently, as in the case of influenza viruses (orthomyxovirus).

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) affects CD4 + T cells and degrades the host's ability to counterattack with a strong cell-mediated immune response. There are so many tactics of immune evasion used by HIV, which have so far hindered the development of an effective vaccine.
