Answer:

The correct answer is D) short-lived plasma cells that secrete antibodies for the antigen

Explanation:

Each B lymphocyte has an antigen receptor (BCR: B cell receptor), a surface immunoglobulin (IgM or IgD), that binds to specific domains of the antigen called antigenic determinants or epitopes. Only B lymphocytes with a high antibody affinity for the antigen, and which are capable of processing and presenting it, will be positively selected. In this contact between the two cells, an exchange of chemical signals takes place that leads to the activation, clonal proliferation and differentiation of B cells into two sister subclones: one of antibody-secreting plasma cells, and the other of memory primed B cells. Therefore, only these last positively selected B lymphocytes will survive, proliferate and differentiate into plasma cells, synthesizing and secreting antibodies of a single isotypic class, with a unique specificity and high affinity, improving the ability to adhere to the antigen and, thus , neutralize and destroy pathogens.

Explain how temperature and amount of precipitation can affect the type of plants and animals found in the desert biome?
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

A influência da vegetação sobre o clima acontece de diferentes formas, influenciando tanto no albedo quanto na umidade e nas variações de temperatura. Isso significa dizer que alterar a cobertura vegetal de um dado local é também propiciar alterações climáticas no local da intervenção e também em outras partes do planeta. A consequência de uma maior umidade do ar é a menor amplitude térmica (a diferença entre a maior e a menor temperatura), ou seja, a ocorrência de médias de temperaturas mais constantes. Isso ocorre em razão do calor específico da água, responsável por conservar o calor por mais tempo.

An extreme disturbance happens in an ecosystem. How does an ecosystem change as succession happens after this disturbance?
ddd [48]

Answer:

There is less biodiversity in the ecosystem.

Explanation:

Since the barren ground doesn't provide suitable living conditions for most of the living organisms, the ones that need the lest resources to survive create the primary succession, usually the mosses and lichens. The organisms of the primary succession provide biomass, so the ground is mixing with it, thus new soil is forming.
