The most important functions of the complement system are to alter microbial cell membranes and A. initiate an inflammatory response. The complement system is a part of the innate immune system, that is, the system is not adaptable and does not make alterations to the involved proteins over the life time of an individual. The complement system however enhances the functioning of the adaptive immune system by producing cytokines that overwhelm its response.

Answer:

The answer is option A.

Explanation:

The supplement framework is a piece of the inborn safe framework, that is, the framework isn't versatile and does not make adjustments to the included proteins over the existence time of a person. The supplement framework anyway improves the working of the versatile safe framework by creating cytokines that overpower its reaction.

On a backpacking trip, Kenny hikes all day at a steady pace, covering 30 kilometers and burning 4000 Calories. At the school tra
olganol [36]

Answer:

A. If the aerobic pathway—cellular respiration—cannot meet the energy demand, then the anaerobic pathway—lactic acid fermentation—starts up, resulting in lactic acid buildup and "oxygen debt."

C. After about 90 seconds of intense exercise, the muscles become depleted of oxygen, and anaerobic respiration can no longer function to produce ATP, resulting in "oxygen debt."

Explanation:

There are two sources of carbohydrates in the human's body for energy (ATP) production. 1) Creatine phosphate and 2) Glycogen. Creatine phosphate metabolizes easily and yields ATP quickly. Whereas glycogen is stored form of carbohydrate which yields energy more slowly. Therefore, initially, our bodies use creatine phosphate and then shift to glycogen. Within 60-90 seconds, the creatinine phosphate in the body is mostly utilized and then energy is produced by the use of glycogen in aerobic pathway. During areobic pathway, oxygen supply is sufficient and per cycle, it produces 32 molecules of ATP. However, when oxygen supply is limited or absent, the body will metabolize glycogen to lactic acid via fermentation and produce only 2 molecules of ATP.

Now consider the example: Kenny hikes all day at a steady pace therefore the supply of oxygen is sufficient for aerobic cellular respiration for ATP production. In this scenario, the oxygen debt is minimal and Kenny relies on aerobic respiration pathway to obtain energy. On the other hand, Janelle runs fast (100 meters in 13.5 seconds) and her cellular respiration would be on the compense of aerobic pathway initially which will be shifted to anaerobic pathway after the supply of oxygen is reduced/minimum. Janelle will heavily rely on the anaerobic pathway because running fast needs energy which cannot be provided via aerobic pathway easily. Therefore, Janelle's body will produce lactic acid and suffer from oxygen debt.

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Option a, survive in extreme environments

Explanation:

Both Thermus and Deinococcus belong to the group of bacteria that are collectively termed as Deinococcus–Thermus group.

Deinococcus are radiation-resistant vegetative cell as they are able to resist ionising radiation. Also some species of Deinococcus are thermophile.

Thermus are thermophilic bacteria that are able to live in extreme temperature condition and thus are able to tolerate high temperature.

Hence, option A is correct.
