Answer:

Answered below

Explanation:

B cells are a type of white blood cells of a subtype called lymphocytes. They confer acquired or adaptive immunity. This means that B lymphocytes responses to infective microbes are from the memories of their previous encounter with the microbes or antigens.

B lymphocytes fight bacteria and viruses by making Y-shaped proteins called antibodies. These antibodies are specific for each pathogen encountered. They identify and lock on to the surface of invading pathogenic cells and mark and present them for destruction by other immune cells.

Oftentimes, these antibodies are enough to fight off most bacterial infections that we have and therefore there's no need for extensive treatment with drugs.

I will explain the statement 'his B cells will take care of it in no time!

I will start by explaining to him what B cells are literally all about and how they function in the body to fight/wade off infections.

B-cells or B lymphocytes are type of white blood cell, they are made in the bone marrow and they belong to the lymphocytes subtype and plays a crucial role in

the humoral immunity component of the adaptive system,they do so by the making antibiotics to fight off invading bacteria and viruses. (Antigens).

The play the role of antigen presenting cells and further form memory cells after they are activated by antibody-antigen reaction.

B cells can develop into memory cells or plasma cells which produce the most antibodies.

So when there is a bacterial invasion like in the above question,the memory cells of the B lymphocytes identify the bacteria,attack it and mark it for destruction.

In many states, the legal limit for all bacteria present in pasteurized milk is not to exceed 20,000 CFU/mL. You have been away
zaharov [31]

Answer:

a. The formula for finding the number of colonies in a given volume is,  

CFU/ml, here CFU is the colony forming units or the number of colonies formed in a volume plated in ml × dilution

The dilution factor given in the question is 1 × 10⁻⁴ and the number of colonies given is 186. Therefore, the number of bacteria present in the given 1 ml of the milk is,  

CFU/ ml = 186 / 1 × 10⁻⁴ = 186 × 10⁴.  

Hence, the concentration of bacteria in the milk is 186 × 10⁴ CFU/ml.  

b) The limit of the bacterial concentration in the pasteurized milk is 20000 CFU/ml, however, it can be seen that the sample of the milk possess more concentration of bacteria than the desired value. Therefore, the milk is not safe to drink by Public Health Standards.

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Dissimilar organisms might have evolved from a distant, common ancestor.

Explanation:

First of all we should know species. Species is considered as a basic unit of taxonomic classification of an organism.

Initially, the scientists are agreed on this phenomenon that all distinct species are evolved gradually from common ancestor. Today, the species which are different from each other just like hummingbirds, humans and whales are from the same ancestor but with the time passage genetic mutation occurs and at the end dissimilar organisms we can see in our environment/surroundings.
