The correct option is DENDRITIC CELLS.

There are two types of immune system in vertebrates, these are  innate immune system and acquired immune system. The acquire immune system is also known as adaptive or specific immune system.  

The adaptive immune system is made up of antibody responses and cell mediated responses, which are brought about by different types of lymphocyte cells, B cells and T cells. Cell mediated immunity involves the activation of natural killer cells, antigen specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and various cytokines; these cells are highly specialized cells and they are always released in response to antigens,  they are responsible for the elimination or prevention of growth of  invading pathogens.  

Each of the adaptive immunity cells has its specific manner of operating. The dendritic cells and macrophages operate by engulfing invading pathogens and digesting them into thousands of antigens; these antigens are then detected and engulfed by antigens presenting cells.  

Acquired immunity system always creates immunological memory after an initial encounter with pathogens and this leads to an improved response in case they come in contact with the pathogen again in the future. This mechanism is the basis on which vaccination operates.

How does a decrease/decline in a top predator impact biodiversity in an ecosystem?
vivado [14]

Answer:

Results in biodiversity loss due to the proliferated growth of prey that feeds on smaller species

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, organisms feed on one another to obtain energy. In this process organisms called CONSUMERS kill and feed on one another in a process called PREDATION. Top predators are those consumers that are found at the peak of the food chain.

A reduction in the number of top predators/tertiary consumers in an ecosystem means that the secondary consumers they feed on (prey) will grow and reproduce beyond control, hence, causing them to pose serious threat to the population of smaller species below them in the food chain.

Therefore, a decrease/decline in a top predator will impact biodiversity by causing it's loss, as organisms in lower level of the food chain will drastically diminish.

20) Do all three states of water have the same density?
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

The same number of particles in a gas spread further apart than in the liquid or solid states. The same mass takes up a bigger volume . This means the gas is less dense. Density also depends on the material.
