Why does the body attack a transplanted organ?
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

A body attacks a transplanted organ because it does not recognize it as being made of self cells. It knows this because the new organ has antigens, a form of proteins that coat the organ. When a body's immune system recognizes these antigens and they are not similar enough to the body's own antigen's, it attacks to try and keep itself safe and healthy.

Can ocean currents be caused by differences in salinity?

Surface wind-driven currents generate upwelling currents in conjunction with landforms, creating deepwater currents. </span>
