Answer:

Number of bacteria required = 20000

Explanation:

Given -

Size of each bacterium = 3 micrometers long

These bacteria are arranged end to end.

The size of chain to be formed is equal to 6 centimetres

Let us say that in forming a chain of 6 centimetres nearly X number of individual bacterium are required.

hence, number of bacterium required to form 6 centimetres  chain can be represented as

X = \frac{6 * 10000}{3} \\X = 20000

Number of bacteria required = 20000

How would you distinguish pseudostratified columnar epithelium from all other tissues?.
inn [45]

Psuedo  functions mostly absorption and filteration processes.

<h3>What is the advantage of psuedostratified epithelium? </h3>

The lungs are shielded from these irritants by the existence of pseudostratified columnar epithelium in the upper respiratory tract, which is made up of the nose, trachea, and bronchi. To capture particles and stop them from moving farther down the respiratory passages, the epithelium's goblet cells release mucus.

The psuedostratified has too many layers and it is made up of columnar epithelial tissue.

Which of the following is an example of specific immunity?
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Immunity to Small Pox

Explanation:

Over the years, Europeans had built up an immunity to smallpox because many had contracted the disease and still survived. As the population grew children were born with some immunity to the disease. When the Europeans arrived in the Americas, and smallpox spread around the native peoples, the Europeans did not contract the disease because they were immune. However, since the natives were not immune, they slowly died of due just to the disease as well as some parts of the war between the europeans.
