Well, According to 
<span>
BBC - GCSE Bitesize: Blood,
</span> White blood cells can engulf bacteria and other pathogens by phagocytosis. They can change shape easily and produce enzymes that digest the pathogens. Other types of white blood cell secrete antibodies that help destroy pathogens.

There are very interesting facts, and stories to that site, Plus, I am not Copying and pasting,  If I ever do, I tell you the site to where it Found your answer too. :)

3. How does having multiple methods of reproduction support the longevity of sponges in the fossil record?
Tomtit [17]

Multiple methods of reproduction support the longevity of sponges in the fossil record is described below.

Explanation:

Sponges are able to reproduce both sexually using gametes and asexually by budding. Even though sponges are hermaphroditic, individuals will only make one type of gamete at a time. There are two forms of asexual reproduction that sponges can go through: external budding and internal budding.

Sponges reproduce sexually, too. Sponges do not have separate sexes-a single sponge forms eggs at one time of the year and sperm at a different time. At any one time of the year, some sponges are producing eggs and others are producing sperm.

The volume of water passing through a sponge can be enormous, up to 20,000 times its volume in a single 24 hour period.

Sponges reproduce by both asexual and sexual means. Most poriferans that reproduce by sexual means are hermaphroditic and produce eggs and sperm at different times. Sperm are frequently "broadcast" into the water column. ... Some sponges release their larvae, where others retain them for some time.

Would all pigs in a litter have the same father? what about non identical human twins or triplets
posledela

In the female pig reproductive cycle, more number of eggs are released during one ovulation cycle. That is why, the number of offsprings born is more. The father of the litter is same single animal only. Because the process of fertilization of sperms with the eggs released happen in a time duration of few hours only.

In case of humans as well, the father is same. This is because in human reproductive cycle, only one egg is released majorly, accept the case of fraternal twins where two eggs are released and both are fertilized by two different sperms, but again from the same father.

Simora [160]

The answer is; warming of ocean water in the east of the Pacific Ocean close to the western coasts of South America.

The warming of the oceanic waters causes a current that pushes the warm waters eastwards of the Pacific Ocean at the equator.  This counters and overpowers the prevailing trade winds that blow westwards. The currents bring in storms on the West coast of South America as the currents exchange heat with the atmosphere .

Answer:

d. Autoradiographies

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that the technique that is mainly used for this are Autoradiographies. This is a technique that is mostly used for X- ray film to visualize molecules or fragments of molecules that have been radioactively but are also used for  analyzing the length and number of DNA fragments using a special method called gel electrophoresis which is then used to compare the various DNA samples.

Egg membranes from three eggs were carefully taken out and labeled as a, b , c. Each of these membranes were filled with 1% solu
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer would be -

Membrane A - Hypotonic solution - the movement of water towards inside the cell

Membrane B - Isotonic soltion - there will be no movement of water

Membrane C - Hyertonic solution - the movement of water towards outside of the cell

Explanation:

This experiment deals with tonicity as this solution will affect the tonicity of the egg membrane. In membrane A there are more solutes inside the cell than outside the cell so it is hypotonic solution so the movement of water will be towards inside the cell.

In membrane B the solutes are equal in both sides so there will be no movement as its isotonic condition while in membrane C the solution is in hypertonic situation as the solutes are more outside than inside.

Thus, the behavior of the membranes are-

Membrane A - Hypotonic solution - the movement of water towards inside the cell

Membrane B - Isotonic soltion - there will be no movement of water

Membrane C - Hyertonic solution - the movement of water towards outside of the cell
