The body's nonspecific defiance against invading pathogens is known as innate immunity and includes the following:
mechanical barriers and surface secretions
1. The intact skin and mucous membranes of the body. These provide a high degree of protection against pathogens.
2. The sebaceous secretions and sweat of the skin contain bactericidal and fungicidal fatty acids that can kill bacteria and fungi.
3. Normal bacterial flora of the skin may produce various antimicrobial substances such as bacteriocines and acids.
Humoral defence mechanisms
1. Lysozyme. This is an enzyme found in most tissue fluids apart from cerebrospinal fluid, urine, and sweat. It can kill bacteria.
2. Interferon. Inhibits viruses from replicating
3. Complement. This is a heat labile serum that can destroy gram-negative bacteria.
The prairies are ecosystems where the grasses, herbs, and shrubs are the dominant vegetation type. It is one of the most intensive crop producing areas with highly valued productive soils. The diet of the people who lived there would be based on corn wheat, rice, soybeans, bean, peas, etc.
On the other hand, people who live on rocky seacost will most likely consume seafood such as mussels and barnacles.
Answer:
α-amino group
Explanation:
The α-amino group on the hemoglobin binds with the CO2 and this action causes a conformational change in the structure of hemoglobin that ultimately causes the release of linked oxygen. When CO2 is binded to the hemoglobin the whole complex is termed as carbamino-hemoglobin.
