To determine: Whether economic status should be a deciding factor for a person’s life or death.
Introduction: Tissue transplant rejection is one of the main challenges faced in organ transplantation. Tissue transplant or graft rejection is a process in which the immune system of the recipient rejects and attacks the transplanted organ or tissues. The rejection happens because of the recognition of transplanted organ as foreign (identified as non-self by recipient’s immune system) due to the presence of varied antigens (HLA antigens) in the cell surface of transplant.

- Species Interactions Explain how predators, prey and scavengers interact. Explain whether predators and scavengers are necessary or beneficial for an ecosystem.arrow_forwardmagine that you are conducting research on fruit type and seed dispersal. You submitted a paper to a peer-reviewed journal that addresses the factors that impact fruit type and seed dispersal mechanisms in plants of Central America. The editor of the journal communicates that your paper may be published if you make ‘minor revisions’ to the document. Describe two characteristics that you would expect in seeds that are dispersed by the wind. Contrast this with what you would expect for seeds that are gathered, buried or eaten by animals, and explain why they are different. (Editor’s note: Providing this information in your discussion will help readers to consider the significance of the research).arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between Uniporters, Symporters and Antiporters?
