How do these tape worms defend themselves from the immune system of their host

Biology
1 answer:
FrozenT [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Scientists discovered mechanisms that protect tapeworms from being digested by their host. ... They also needed a mechanism to protect themselves from intestinal substances, specifically from digestive enzymes. One of such enzymes called trypsin breaks down proteins.

Explanation:

For example:Parasites can hide away from the immune system by invading immune-privileged tissue such as the central nervous system or the eye (Bhopale 2003). Also some parasitoids place their eggs inside tissue such as the fat body that is not well patrolled by the host's immune system

Is the elliptical shape of the earths orbit changes all the time
elena-s [515]

It is known that the Earth's orbit around the sun changes shape every 100,000 years. The orbit becomes either more round or more elliptical at these intervals. The shape of the orbit is known as its "eccentricity." A related aspect is the 41,000-year cycle in the tilt of theEarth's axis.

A group of cells is assayed for DNA content immediately following mitosis and is found to have an average of 4 picograms of DNA
damaskus [11]

Answer:

b: 8;8

Explanation:

Mitotic or meiotic cell division constitute the m phase of the cell cycle. At the end of the m phase, the new cells enter the interphase stage of the cell cycle. The interphase is further sub-divided into;

  • <em>the G_0 phase,</em>
  • <em>the G_1 phase,</em>
  • <em>the S phase; and</em>
  • <em>the G_2 phase</em>.

The G_0 phase is essentially a resting phase. Cells that do not need to divide except when necessary move into this phase after exiting the m phase.

Actively dividing cells enter the G_1 phase after exiting the m phase. Cell development and growth takes place. From there, the cells enter the S phase where DNA replication/synthesis takes place. The cells then enter the G_2 phase where proteins are synthesized in preparation for division or m phase.

At the S phase, the amount of DNA a cell carries is doubled but the chromosome number remains the same. For example, if a cell enters the S phase with 2 g of DNA containing 10 chromosomes, at the end of S phase, the amount of DNA would have come 4 g while the number of chromosomes will remain 10.

Hence, if the average amount of DNA in the assayed cells immediately after mitosis is 4 picograms, the amount would be 8 picograms at the end of S phase and will still remains 8 picograms at the end of G_2 phase.

The correct option is b.

Answer:

Tidal energy is used for the production of electricity from water.

Explanation:

In tidal energy, tides of water is used as a source of energy which is converted into other forms of energy, especially for electricity production. It is low cost electricity production method. Tidal plants are installed inside the water on the shore of sea where tides are in great amount. The energy produced from it is clean because it does not pollute the environment.
