Answer:

Exposure to a virus is closely related to the development of immunity, since the immune system is responsible for creating antibodies in response to the presence of potentially harmful biological agents, such as these viruses.

Explanation:

Viruses are biological agents that can produce diseases when they enter the body of a living being.<u> In response to contact with a virus, the</u><u> immune system</u><u> synthesizes specific </u><u>antibodies</u> to combat the foreign biological agent.

Antibody immunity can be of two types. It is fast when it is mediated by immunoglobulins M (IgM), which attack the virus anywhere, while the late and prolonged response is due to the development of immunoglobulins G (IgG).

An example of immunity to a virus occurs with the exhibition to the virus of the Dengue, that creates permanent immunity to the viral serotype to which an individual is exposed.

The acquired immunity, mediated by antibodies, is the base for the development of vaccines.

Which type of molecule will require energy to cross the cell membrane? Question 3 options: A) carbon dioxide B) Na+ C) nonpolar
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

B) Na+

Explanation: Na+ molecule is polar, oxygen and carbon dioxide are nonpolar molecules. The cell membrane is a <em>phospholipid bilayer</em> made up of lipid molecules with polar and nonpolar ends. Since it is a bilayer, two phospholipid layers are arranged, one on the other in such a way that one faces the back of the other. The non polar ends are away from outside and inside of the cell, while  the polar ends faces towards all the molecules inside and outside the cell.

Since polar-polar molecules repel each other, Na+ can't pass through the cell membrane easily. So it uses the proteins attached the cell membrane inside and outside to transport such molecules by using energy in terms of ATP.

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The correct answer is "strengths: inexpensive, easy to culture, short life cycle, large number of offspring; weaknesses: invertebrate model, some diseases such as immunological cannot be modelled, anatomical features are very different from humans"

Explanation:

The fruit fly <em>Drosophila melanogaster</em> is one of the most used animal model for genetic and biomedical studies. There are many advantages of using Drosophila as model, including that it is very inexpensive to handle, it is easy to culture, it has a short life cycle allowing to observe the changes in phenotype very quickly and its large number of offspring allows to include several repetitions per trait in a study. However, there are some weaknesses of using Drosophila to study human biology. First, obviously the fruit fly is very different from humans, it is an invertebrate and its anatomical features are very different, which makes impossible to model some disorders such as immunological diseases.
