Answer:

antibodies being produced to fight off a pathogen inside the body

Explanation:

Specific immune responses, also known as the adaptive immune system are ways the body fights against pathogens. The body is able to identify cells that are unique to it. When pathogens bearing an unknown identity enter the body, antibodies are released to attack the antigens on the surface of these pathogens.

The body usually develops this immunity after a previous attack by the pathogen. Lymphocytes known as the B and T cells are released by the immune system t engulf the pathogens.

Crazy boy [7]

Protection of certain species is a very controversial topic. Many species like the mountain lion or jaguar that are near extinction in certain areas, are threats to human life. Another reason is that they could off set the food chain when they come back and be stonger than ever. For example the mountian lion could eat out the thriving white tail deer population which was struggling because of the mountain lion. And many people rely on white tail deer for food.

Hope this helped :)
