Adrian caught a virus while staying with his grandmother. A few years later, his mother and sister got the same virus. This viru

s could spread through touch and direct contact. However, Adrian did not contract the virus this time, even though he was living with his mother and sister. Why did he not get sick?
Adrian’s adaptive immunity remembered the antigens from the virus and gave him lifelong immunity to it.

Adrian’s innate immunity remembered the antigens from the virus and gave him lifelong immunity to it.

Adrian’s skin layer recognized the antigens and attacked them, which prevented the occurrence of the virus again.

Adrian’s innate immunity identified antibodies specific for the virus and targeted them against the antigen.

Adrian’s adaptive immunity produced a higher amount of specific antibodies for the antigen, preventing the virus.

  • Adrian did not contract the virus this time, even though he was living with his mother and sister<em> because Adrian’s adaptive immunity remembered the antigens from the virus and gave him lifelong immunity to it.</em>
  • The adaptive immune system consists primarily of the lymphocytes.
  • Whenever the body encounters the antigen, the lymphocytes of the adaptive immunity are activated to combat the infection and in this process, they also produce memory cells.
  • These <em>memory cells</em> protect the host from the infection from the same antigen in the future.
  • Due to the memory cells produced during the first viral infection, Adrian is protected from the infection after being exposed to the virus again.

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

d. Competitive inhibition will decrease because the proportion of the active sites occupied by substrate will increase.

Explanation:

Enzymes are bio catalysts in living cells responsible for aiding biochemical reactions.

Their active sites are primary protein  3D structure  for binding with substrates during   reactions.

Enzymes reactions are usually affected by inhibitors(e.g methyl alcohol) which compete with the active site with the actual substrate(ethyl alcohol) ,

This is an example of competitive inhibition. The more ethyl alcohol available, the more active sites  occupied, therefore denying the inhibitor methylalchol  chances to the active site, thus preventing the formation of toxic formaldehyde, and more of non toxic substances from formation of more ADH-METHYL ALCOHOL COMPLEXES at the active sites

A team of biologists develop a new drug, and one team member hypothesizes that the drug is incapable of freely passing across th
matrenka [14]

Answer:

<em>B: The drug is a small charged molecule</em>

Explanation:

Substances can passively diffuse in and out of the cell via the cell membrane in two ways;

  • Simple diffusion
  • Facilitated diffusion

The cell membrane allows small molecules or ions to freely diffuse across it in response to concentration difference between the inner and outer parts of the cell membrane. This is known as simple diffusion.

In facilitated diffusion, special proteins in the cell membrane, known as channel/carrier proteins binds with molecules and facilitates their diffusion across the cell membrane by carrying them through special channels in the membrane.

Hence, to support the alternative hypothesis that the new drug will exhibit simple diffusion across the plasma membrane, the drug should be a small charged molecule.

<em>Correct option: B</em>

Part d - relationship of allele behavior to meiosis during which part of meiosis (meiosis i or meiosis ii) do the two alleles of
MAXImum [283]

The answer is alleles detached from one another during anaphase of meiosis I, when the homologous pairs of chromosomes separate. During anaphase I, homologous pairs are drawn apart, and they go in the direction of the opposites of the cell. Meiosis I finishes with the manufacture of two haploid daughter cells for the reason that the homologous pairs of chromosomes have been separated.

The chief force pushing water and solutes out of the blood across the filtration membrane is A) the ionic electrochemical gradie
Marysya12 [62]
<h2>C) option is correct </h2>

Explanation:

  • Glomerular filtration is the process which kidneys uses to filter excess fluid and waste products out of the blood into the urine collecting tubules of the kidney, so that they may be eliminated from the body
  • The rate at which kidneys filter blood is called the glomerular filtration rate
  • The main driving force for the filtering process, or outward pressure is the blood pressure as it enters the glomerulus, this is counteracted to some extent by inward pressure due to the hydrostatic pressure of the fluid within the urinary space, and the pressure generated by the proteins left in the capillaries that tend to pull water back into the circulatory system (colloidal osmotic pressure)
  • The net filtration pressure is the outward pressure minus the inward pressure
