TRUE OR FALSE?

Biology
1 answer:
Harrizon [31]3 years ago
3 0
<h2>Answer:</h2>

I believe the correct answer is FALSE.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Innate immunity is a fast acting response to confront a pathogen but does not keep memory. It is initiated and carried out by cell and can be refered to as cellular immunity lasting for a short term.

<h2>Further Explanation:</h2><h3>Innate Immunity:</h3>

This is the first line of defence and involves only cells. It lasts for a short period usually around 12 hours. It includes physical barries. The cells involved are: epithelial cells, dendritic cells, plasma proteins and natural killer cells. All the cells involved are macrocytes. It functions to recognize and attack the pathogen before the second type of immunity called adaptive immunity sets in. It usually is also non specific and responds generally to any pathogen.

<h3>Adaptive Immunity:</h3>

It is a much more longer lasting type of immunities and has memory. It has a combination of cells and humoral components. It involves Naive B cells which are triggered to release antibodies known as Immunoglobulins depending on the cause of the trigger. Immunoglobulins include IgG, IgM, IgA, IgG  and IgD and are usually Y-shaped. Additionally, it involves Naive  T cells that are activated into Effector T-cells to assist in fighting the pathogen. This type of immunity is more focused and specific antibodies are released for specific infections/pathogens. It lasts up to 5 days or longer depending on the pathogen. It also takes time to mount up and produce a response.

What is the purpose of each organism being able to carry out either cellular respiration or photosynthesis?
dalvyx [7]

Photosynthesis takes in sunlight and carbon dioxide, along with water and nutrients, so the plant can make energy. That energy is used for cell growth and repair, producing seeds, etc. The plant will exhale oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis.

Similarly, cellular respiration is also used to create energy for the host organism. However, the cells take in oxygen along with something like complex sugars (ie the stuff you eat) and use those components to form energy for the cell. The energy for human cells is useful for cell growth and repair, nerve impulses, muscle contractions, etc. Basically anything you can think of that the human body needs to do on a regular basis, it requires energy to do so. A byproduct of cellular respiration is carbon dioxide, which is exhaled out to the environment. The plant will then absorb the CO2 to keep the cycle going.

In short, both processes are used to make energy for the cell. The differences is what the inputs for each process require. Photosynthesis takes in sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide (and other plant nutrients), and exhales oxygen. Cellular respiration takes in oxygen and complex sugars (from plant material or other animals) and exhales carbon dioxide.

defon
<span>This is an example of convergent evolution. These animals gained these similar antler structures to be able to survive in similar environments. Convergent evolution gives organisms who are unrelated similar characteristics as they evolve. The characteristics are influenced by the organism's similar habitats and are given to them to make sure the organisms are able to adapt to survive.</span>

I'll mark you as Brainliest and you get a decent amount of points.
hoa [83]

Explanation: I think the way to do it is to just divide the biomass of the primary carnivores by the herbivores since they are the trophic levels right next to each other. Therefore, the efficiency of energy transfer is (2360/25900)*100%=9.112%. Hope that helped!
