Does anyone know about "Van der Waals forces" I know it's "intermolecular forces of attraction" And they hold molecules together

, especially large ones and it's not as strong of a bond as covalent and ionic bonds. I need an example of an animal that uses it other than a Gecko.

The feet of spiders use Van der Walls forces. Spiders seem to be able to stick to just about anything, even if it is wet. This is largely due to the intermolecular forces of attraction between its feet and the surface.

What is the relationship between osmosis and diffusion
vaieri [72.5K]
“Diffusion sees molecules in an area of high concentration move to areas with a lower concentration, while osmosis refers to the process by which water, or other solvents, moves through a semipermeable membrane, leaving other bits of matter in its wake.”

After first exposure to an antigen, about how long does it take for antibodies to reach a detectable level?
Salsk061 [2.6K]

After first exposure to an antigen, it can take about three weeks for antibodies to reach a detectable level. The body will react to disease by creating antibodies and testing their effectiveness against the unknown antigen.

Antibodies are the body's way of fighting off foreign threats. Also known as immunoglobulin, they detect and attack pathogenic bacteria and viruses. These antibodies detect a protein that is unique to the surface of the pathogen called the antigen.

At times, we can see an increase in antibodies for one disease, for example, <em>Lyme disease</em>, in the presence of <em><u>non-Lyme disease antigens.</u></em> This is often due to antigenic variation, which is a method used by pathogens to mask their respective antigens. There are also general use antibodies that will increase in reaction to any pathogen.

As with any illness, a patient who receives treatment sooner will fare better than those whose treatment is delayed. This is due to the fact that earlier treatment with antibiotics will allow the body to fight off the infection before the bacteria can reproduce further.

After the first immune response, antigen-specific antibodies will remain for some time to provide the body with "immunity" to the pathogen, while <u>general-purpose antibodies will return to a base value. </u>
