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.

Suppose hydrochloric acid reacts with potassium sulfite yielding water, sulfur dioxide, and potassium chloride. Suppose 4 moles
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

128 grams of sulfur dioxide are produced.

Explanation:

2HCl+K_2SO_3\rightarrow SO_2+2KCl+H_2O

Moles of HCl = 4 moles

According to reaction, 2 moles of HCl gives 1 mole of sulfur dioxide gas.

Then 4 moles of HCl will give:

\frac{1}{2}\times 4 moles=2 moles of sulfur dioxide gas.

Mass of sulfur dioxide gas = 2 mol × 64 g/mol = 128 g

128 grams of sulfur dioxide are produced.

Teniendo en cuenta los siguientes fenómenos: ebullición del agua- movimiento de un cuerpo- disolución de sal en agua- combustión
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Las siguientes son reacciones químicas;

combustión de leña

oxidación del hierro

descomposición del agua en hidrógeno y oxígeno

Explanation:

Una reacción química da como resultado la formación de una (s) sustancia (s) nueva (s), mientras que un cambio físico no conduce a la formación de una sustancia nueva.

Las siguientes son reacciones químicas;

combustión de leña: la combustión de madera implica la oxidación del carbono según la reacción; C (s) + O2 (g) -------> CO2 (g)

oxidación del hierro: La oxidación del hierro conduce a la formación de óxidos de hierro. Como; 2Fe (s) + O2 (g) ----> 2FeO (s)

descomposición del agua en hidrógeno y oxígeno: esta es una reacción química en la que el agua se descompone de la siguiente manera; 2H2O (l) -----> 2H2 (g) + O2 (g)

Todos estos procesos enumerados anteriormente conducen a la formación de nuevas sustancias, por lo tanto, son reacciones químicas.
