Indicate weather the label identifies an adaptive or innate form of defense
suter [353]

Innate: keratinized epithelium

stratified squamous epithelium hypodermal areolar connective tissue antigen presenting cells major histocompatibility complexes complement (antibody -dependent pathway )

Innate or non-specific response is the first defense against invaders. Components of this response include physical (e.g. skin . mucosa) and chemical barriers against pathogens and cells such as Natural Killer cells, macrophages, neutrophils, dendritic cells, mast cells, basophils, eosinophils. Innate response reacts immediately.

Adaptive: immunoglobulin plasma cells agglutinin

helper t cells memory t cells cytotoxic t cells cd4+cells

t lymphocytes

Adaptive immune response or specific response is specific to the pathogen presented and mediated by lymphocytes, B and T cells. Adaptive immune response creates immunological memory after the first, initial l response to a specific pathogen which leads to enhanced response.

Suppose that of a cohort of 150 mice in a mouse colony born in February, 125 are still at the end of March and 115 are still ali
kogti [31]

Answer: Survival rate up to start of April = 76.67%

Explanation: size of colony = 150mice.

Size of colony in February =125mice.

Size of colony in march = 115 mice.

1. Survivorship rate in February

= Size of colony / size in February *100.

= 122 / 150 * 100

= 83.33% to the nearest hundredth

2. Survivorship rate in march

= Size of colony / size in march *100.

= 115/150 * 100

= 76.67% to the nearest hundredth.

In the Miller-Urey experiment, electrical sparks were passed through a mixture of gases, including hydrogen, water vapor, methan
STatiana [176]

Answer:

The answer is B. Some organic molecules, including amino acids, could have been produced from chemical reactions on early Earth.

Explanation:

Miller-Urey Experiment:

The Miller-Urey experiment was an attempt to explain the origin of life on Earth. Miller-Urey simulated the primordial soup i.e. the environment of primitive Earth to prove the spontaneous generation of organic molecules. The conditions they introduced included:

  1. A methane-ammonia-hydrogen and water mixture that exactly simulated the primordial soup.
  2. A spark of 70,000 volts that simulated lightening.
  3. A temperature of 800 degree Celsius.

Observations:

  • After running for 18 days, the final solution was examined for presence of organic molecules.
  • Miller-Urey observed that most of the methane and ammonia had been consumed and the mixture contained carbon monoxide and nitrogen.
  • The solution further contained 25 amino acids (mainly, glycine, alanine and aspartic acid) , several fatty acids , hydroxy acids  and amide products.

The experiment concluded that simple organic compounds such as amino acids could have been formed through spontaneous generation under the Earth's primitive environmental conditions.
