Answer:
The most important reason for learning about environmental systems is due to the fact that we should know what's going on in the world around us. If we were to travel to Asia, we should know the forests that lie there to pack appropriately. It's also important to just be aware of how the world works. It's also good to know what rock type you'll be walking on, so you can pack shoes accordingly. Overall, it's better to know the world around you than to live in ignorance.
Inside our body, millions of nephrons in the kidney filter wastes in 2 steps. Each nephron has a glomerulus and a tubule. Waste filtering undergoes 2 steps:
First, fluid and waste pass through the glomerulus but, proteins, blood cells, and other large molecules are prevented from passing through. Second, the filtered fluid passes through the tubule wherein the filtered wastes are removed; minerals are sent back to the body, and the remaining output becomes urine.
Answer:
a. the virus must be able to cross-link red blood cells directly.
Explanation:
Viral hemagglutination assay is a method which is used for the quantification of the relative concentration of the viruses.
The principle on which the hemagglutination assay works is as follows:
- There are sialic acid receptors present on the surface of the red blood cells which will bind to the haemagglutinin glycoprotein present on the surface of the viral particle.
- Due to the binding of the sialic acid receptors with haemagglutinin particle there will be cross-linking of the red blood cells by the viral particles and a lattice formation will take place.
- The lattice will remain suspended in the solution however if the concentration of the virus particles will be less, the lattice will settle down in the well.
Thus, this method allows knowing the relative concentration of the virus.
<em>Due to its basic principle of cross-linking this method works well for only a few viruses such as influenza virus. </em>
The answer would be D. Tropical Rainforest, this would be due to the abundance of rain which creates plenty of vegetation and then, more herbivores will live in the rainforest, and the more herbivores there are, the more carnivores will come to the rainforest. The canopy of the tall trees also provide shelter for countless of thousands of species of birds.
