The concave disc shape of red blood cells Maximizes the surface area of the cell , allowing for rapid movement of oxygen or carbon dioxide to and form the hemoglobin within the cell.
Answer:
it captures the sun's energy
Answer:
Adaptive defenses include both humoral and cellular immunity.
Explanation:
The innate immune response is the non-specific immune response and serves to provide an immediate and general immune response. The adaptive immune responses are the specific immune responses. Adaptive immune responses include cell-mediated immunity and antibody-mediated immunity.
Cell-mediated immunity includes T cells (cytotoxic and helper T cells) while antibody-mediated immunity includes the production of antibodies from B cells. Binding of antigen to B cells is followed by their transformation into plasma cells and produce antibodies. Some of the activated B cells form memory B cells that are responsible for quicker and strong secondary immune responses.
I believe passive transport is a form of diffusion. And it doesn't require any energy unlike active transport.
Answer:
Red blood cells are adapted to their function by:
1) They contain haemoglobin - a red protein that combines with oxygen. they have no nucleus so they can contain more haemoglobin.
2) They are small and flexible so that they can fit through narrow blood vessels.
3) They have a biconcave shape (flattened disc shape) to maximise their surface area for oxygen absorption.
Hope this helps! :D
