Explain the importance of immunological memory cells. Describe in detail how and when memory cells arise and explain how they fo
Vlad1618 [11]

Explanation:

<em>Immunological memory</em> is the property of the immune system to store information about a stimulus so it can mount an effective response if it encounters the same stimulus again being this second response quicker and stronger even after years since the first encounter.

This kind of response is dependent on many subpopulations within T and B lymphocytes and NK cells. When encountering an antigen, B cells recognize it by membrane antibody specifically binding to the antigen and then being activated to expand rapidly with their progeny clones differentiating into plasma and memory B cells, these last ones have a long life span to remain in the body, ready when another encounter with the same stimulus occurs, this is how the basis for effective immunizations happens.

I hope you find this information useful! Good luck!

How does central retina differ from peripheral retina differ?
Musya8 [376]
When an ophthalmologist uses an ophthalmoscope to look into your eye he sees the following view of the retina

In the center of the retina is the optic nerve, a circular to oval white area measuring about 2 x 1.5 mm across. From the center of the optic nerve radiates the major blood vessels of the retina. Approximately 17 degrees (4.5-5 mm), or two and half disc diameters to the left of the disc, can be seen the slightly oval-shaped, blood vessel-free reddish spot, the fovea, which is at the center of the area known as the macula by ophthalmologists.

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

d. an extensive surface area well suited for invasive growth and absorptive nutrition.

Explanation:

Fungi have an extracellular nutrition. These means enzymes are released to environment to start degrading macromolecules which can be later be absorbed (absorptive nutrition) through cell membranes. Having multiple spots (bigger surface area) through which it can nurture speeds up the rate at which it can grow leading to a faster growth and higher competition over resources.
