Ingestion of foreign substances by macrophages and yeast cells by an amoeba is known as <u>Phagocytosis</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Phagocytosis that is the name given to the process of ingestion of foreign particles by macrophages. In human body the white blood cells does this function. Macrophages is found in all the tissues. Any foreign particle entering the body is engulfed by this process hence protecting the organisms.

Once a bacteria enters the body it is at once detected and recognised as the foreign particle. Then it is attached to the phagocyte. Then it is engulfed into a vesicle called phagosome. Then this is killed by the process of phagocytosis.

mestny [16]

Answer:

The correct order would be:

A vaccine introduces a weakened flu virus into the body.

                                                        ↓

The immune system identifies antigens on the weakened flu virus.

                                                        ↓

Antibodies are produced, which bind to the weakened flu virus and signal immune cells to destroy it.

                                                        ↓

The actual flu virus enters the body, and lymphocytes recognize the antigens.

                                                        ↓

Antibodies are quickly produced and allow the body to fight off the infection.

Vaccination or immunization is the process which helps in developing the immunity (adaptive) against a particular pathogen or microorganism.

It includes the administration of antigen, weakened or heat-killed microorganism (such as flu virus) into the patients body. Body's immune system produces naive B and T cells to eliminate the antigen.

This encounter enables the immune system to produce memory B and T cells against that particular pathogen.

In future, whenever the same antigen enters the body, the immune system gets activated quickly due to the presence of memory cells. It enables the body to produce more effective secondary response against the pathogen.

Brums [2.3K]

Answer: asexual reproduction

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Brady took a cutting from a sweet potato vine in his family garden and placed the vine in a small vase filled with water. We are further told that after about a week, tiny roots had begun to grow. This is simply an example of asexual reproduction.

Asexual reproduction is simply refers to a form of reproduction which doesn't have to do with changing the chromosomes or gametes fution. In this case, the fact that tiny roots began to grow despite the fact that there was no fusion of gamete shows that it's an asexual reproduction.

Develop a hypothesis to explain why you think eurypterids developed legs even though they lived on the ocean floor.
expeople1 [14]

I think that since it lives on the ocean floor, at the deepest of the ocean. So anyway, the fin on the Eurypterids is still necessary but not that much, since they live on the ocean floor. Their movements mostly on the ocean floor. So fin would not help them "stick" to the floor. Also there are still gravity acts on the Eurypterids and the feet would help them move faster. Hope this helps.
