Answer:
d. Lean mass
Explanation:
It happens when your body fat percentage is going down while gaining muscle. If your body fat percentage is going down but not your weight, you'll be dropping inches in no time, and this is an indication that you are moving in the right direction.
1) The law of orbits. This is when all planets move in elliptical orbits, with the sun at once focus.
2) The law of areas. A line that connects a planet to the sun sweeps out equal areas in equal times.
3) The law of periods. The square of the period of any planet is proportional to the cube of semimajor axis of its orbit.
These laws were derived for orbits around the sun, but they apply to satellite orbits also. I hope this helps! ~Mia
Answer: Many pathogenic fungi are parasitic in humans and are known to cause diseases of humans and other animals. In humans, parasitic fungi most commonly enter the body through a wound in the epidermis (skin). Such wounds may be insect punctures or accidentally inflicted scratches, cuts, or bruises. One example of a fungus that causes disease in humans is Claviceps purpurea, the cause of ergotism (also known as St. Anthony’s fire), a disease that was prevalent in northern Europe in the Middle Ages, particularly in regions of high rye-bread consumption. The wind carries the fungal spores of ergot to the flowers of the rye, where the spores germinate, infect and destroy the ovaries of the plant, and replace them with masses of microscopic threads cemented together into a hard fungal structure shaped like a rye kernel but considerably larger and darker. This structure, called an ergot, contains a number of poisonous organic compounds called alkaloids. A mature head of rye may carry several ergots in addition to noninfected kernels. When the grain is harvested, much of the ergot falls to the ground, but some remains on the plants and is mixed with the grain. Although modern grain-cleaning and milling methods have practically eliminated the disease, the contaminated flour may end up in bread and other food products if the ergot is not removed before milling. In addition, the ergot that falls to the ground may be consumed by cattle turned out to graze in rye fields after harvest. Cattle that consume enough ergot may suffer abortion of fetuses or death. In the spring, when the rye is in bloom, the ergot remaining on the ground produces tiny, black, mushroom-shaped bodies that expel large numbers of spores, thus starting a new series of infections.
Answer:
Since phagocytes are effective against any type of infectious/toxic agent.
Explanation:
Phagocytes are the cells of the immune system that are involved in the non-specific immune response. These cells serve to engulf and kill any pathogenic or infectious microbe that has entered the body. Since phagocytes do not require the presence of specific antigens or pathogens to mount the immune response, their action is "non-specific response".
