21 Organs consist of cells and tissues that have been adapted to perform a specific function in living organisms. The stomach is

a muscular organ that is located on the left side of the upper abdomen. The stomach secretes acid and enzymes that help in the digestion of food. In simple terms, the stomach is a digestive sac. Even though the stomach has an important role in food digestion, it cannot perform the process all on its own. It depends on other organs such as the salivary glands, esophagus, liver, and intestines to help complete the process. Each organ has its own specific job, but together they make up an organ system. An organ system is a group of organs that work together to perform one or more functions. Which of the following describes the role of the immune system in the body? A. It gets rid of wastes that the body produces. B. It uses electrical signals to control body functions. C. It uses chemical messages to control body functions. D. It gets rid of pathogens that invade the body.​

Answer:

The correct answer is - D.  It gets rid of pathogens that invade the body.​

Explanation:

Like all other organ systems, the immune system is an organ system that involves several special organs that helps in fighting any foreign object or infection that invades our body. This organ system produces specific cells or chemicals to fight or kill the microbes, and unnatural change takes place in the body.

The organs involved in the immune system are lymphocytes or white blood cells, the complement system, antibodies, the lymphatic system the thymus, bone marrow, and the spleen.

All these combinedly helps in fighting, killing the microbes or infections that occur in the body, and correct the physiological changes that occur in the body to get rid of pathogens that invade the body.

Use the following half-reactions to construct a voltaic cell:
velikii [3]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is 3Ag^+(aq.)+Cr(s)\rightarrow 3Ag(s)+Cr^{3+}(aq.);E^o_{cell}=+1.53V

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Cr^{3+}(aq.)+3e^-\rightarrow Cr(s);E^o=-0.73V\\\\Ag^+(aq.)+e^-\rightarrow Ag(s);E^o=+0.80V

The substance having highest positive E^o potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction. Here, silver will always undergo reduction reaction will get reduced.

Chromium will undergo oxidation reaction and will get oxidized.

The half reactions for the above cell is:

Oxidation half reaction: Cr(s)\rightarrow Cr^{3+}+3e^-;E^o_{Cr^{3+}/Cr}=-0.73V

Reduction half reaction: Ag^{+}+e^-\rightarrow Ag(s);E^o_{Ag^{+}/Ag}=0.80V       ( × 3)

Net equation:  3Ag^+(aq.)+Cr(s)\rightarrow 3Ag(s)+Cr^{3+}(aq.)

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode and reduction reaction occurs at cathode.

To calculate the E^o_{cell} of the reaction, we use the equation:

E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E^o_{cell}=0.80-(-0.73)=1.53V

Hence, the correct answer is 3Ag^+(aq.)+Cr(s)\rightarrow 3Ag(s)+Cr^{3+}(aq.);E^o_{cell}=+1.53V

Which element is found in most of the compounds in your body except for water?​
Anni [7]

The correct answer is carbon.  

The element carbon is found in all the organic constituents in the body of a human that comprises carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and nucleic acids. It is the second most abundant element found in the body of a human being. In supplementation to being a basic building block of the majority of the cellular compositions of the body, carbon is found in the blood as carbonic acid and bicarbonates.
