Summary Introduction

To define: The term immunity.

Introduction: The pathogen is an organism which causes infection and diseases to the host organism. These agents most often degrade the health of an individual. The responses that are generated towards these pathogens are from the immune system present in the body of an individual.

Explanation of Solution

The responses generated against the microorganisms for shielding an organism’s body is called immunity. Vaccination supports the immune system of an organism to develop resistance against a number of diseases. These vaccines may contain live attenuated (or weakened) antigens, killed antigens, subunit of the antigen or toxins of the pathogen.

Conclusion

Thus, the response generated against the microorganisms for shielding an organism’s body is known as immunity.

Summary Introduction

To explain: The meaning of memory and specificity of the immune system.

Introduction: The property of a body to fight against various disease causing microorganisms and generate an immune response is known as immunity. The small white blood cells which play a major role in immune system of the body are known as lymphocytes.

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

When an infection occurred inside the body of an organism, the T cells transmit the signal to the B cells to produce antibodies against the antigens. The antibodies produced are highly specific to the pathogens present in the body. Those antibodies interact with the antigens and results in the death of the pathogen. The memory cells are generated in this process to store the information about the specific microbe to prevent the body from infections in the future.

Conclusion

Thus, the antibodies produced are highly specific to the pathogens present in the body and the memory of immune system stores the information about the previous encounter of microorganism to prevent the body from infections in the future.

E. Bar Graph Use the same technique to upload the completed image. We will use a different type of graph to derive additional information from the CO2 data (Fig A1.6.2) 1. Calculate the average rate of increase in COz concentration per year for the time intervals 1959-1969, 1969- 1979, etc. and write the results in the spaces provided. The value for 1959-1969 is provided for you as an example. 2. Plot the results as a bar graph. The 1959-1969 is plotted for you. 3.

San Andreas Transform Boundary Plate Motion The geologic map below of southern California shows the position of the famous San Andreas Fault, a transform plate boundary between the North American Plate (east side) and the Pacific Plate (west side). The relative motion between the plates is indicated by the half arrows along the transform plate boundary (i.e., the Pacific Plate is moving to the northwest relative to the North American Plate). Note the two bodies of Oligocene volcanic rocks (labeled Ov) on the map in the previous page located along either side of the San Andreas Fault. These rocks are about 23.5 million years old and were once one body of rock. They have been separated by displacement along the fault. 21. Based on the offset of these volcanic rocks, what is the average annual rate of relative plate motion in cm/yr?
