Answer:
D. Immune response
Explanation:
An immune response is defined as any reaction that occurs within a host when its body recognizes and defends itself against pathogenic microorganisms (e.g., viruses, bacteria, protists, etc) and/or chemical compounds that look to be foreign and harmful to the body. When the number of detected pathogenic microorganisms increases, the immune system in the host responds by producing cells that attack them or by producing proteins (i.e., antibodies) that destroy the harmful substances. A substance capable of triggering an immune response is known as an antigen (e.g., a structural protein of a pathogenic virus). There are two distinct types of immune responses: 1-innate immune responses, where the body mounts a response immediately without requiring a previous contact with the harmful antigen and does not retain a memory of previous responses; and 2- adaptive immune responses that only occur after exposure to an antigen, these responses are slower but they are specific and produce immunological memory.
Answer:
D. provitamin.
Explanation:
A provitamin is a substance that the body can transform into an active vitamin through metabolic processes. If compared with vitamins, provitamins have no biological activity or are much lower. In other words, provitamins are vitamin precursors.
Although not very frequent, sometimes you can see the term previtamin used as a synonym.
For example, beta-carotene, the most abundant carotenoid in nature, has about one sixth of the biological activity of retinol, or vitamin A, but can be transformed into retinol in the liver by an enzymatic reaction.
