Answer:

- Physical and chemical barriers

- non-specific innate responses

- specific adaptive responses

<u>The differences are...</u>

The first barrier is the physical and chemical barrier. It is the first line of defense when in contact with outside sources, this can be through the skin, earwax, nose-hair, etc.

The second barrier, the non-specific innate response, is after these outside sources have somehow managed to pass through the first barrier. They come into contact with cells and enzymes that help to defeat them.

The third barrier, the specific adaptive response, is the body's way of dealing with pathogens that the body has encountered before. (B cells activate)

Green olives may be preserved in brine, which is a 20-30% salt solution. How does this method prevent contamination by microorga
vredina [299]

The correct answer is Bacteria can't survive in a hypertonic solution because they lose water.

The 20-30% salt solution is hypertonic as Compared to the bacterial concentration of salt. In this case, the bacteria present in the solution would lose water. Due to excess loss of water, the bacteria would eventually shrink and die. Hence, green olives preserved in the brine would be safe from microbial attack.
