Question

Define the following terms-

1. Vaccines
2. antibodies
3. vaccination
4. tanning
5. Anaerobic breakdown
6. Pathogens​

Answer 1

1.vaccine is a biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular infectious disease. A vaccine typically contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbe, its toxins, or one of its surface proteins.

2.Antibodies are Y-shaped proteins that bind to the body's foreign invaders and signal the immune system to get to work. ( Image credit: Shutterstock) Antibodies are specialized, Y-shaped proteins that bind like a lock-and-key to the body's foreign invaders — whether they are viruses, bacteria, fungi or parasites.

Answer 2

Answer:

Define the following terms-

1. Vaccines:- A vaccine is a biological preparation that provides active acquired immunity to a particular infectious disease. A vaccine typically contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbe, its toxins, or one of its surface proteins.
2. antibodies:- An antibody is a protein produced by the body's immune system when it detects harmful substances, called antigens. Examples of antigens include microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses) and chemicals. ... Each type of antibody is unique and defends the body against one specific type of antigen.
3. vaccination:- Vaccination is the administration of a vaccine to help the immune system develop protection from a disease. Vaccines contain a microorganism or virus in a weakened, live or killed state, or proteins or toxins from the organism.
4. tanning:- Tanning is the process of treating skins and hides of animals to produce leather. A tannery is the place where the skins are processed. ... Traditionally, tanning used tannin, an acidic chemical compound from which the tanning process draws its name, derived from the bark of specific trees.
5. Anaerobic breakdown:- Anaerobic digestion is a sequence of processes by which microorganisms break down biodegradable material in the absence of oxygen. The process is used for industrial or domestic purposes to manage waste or to produce fuels.
6. Pathogens:- In biology, a pathogen in the oldest and broadest sense, is any organism that can produce disease. A pathogen may also be referred to as an infectious agent, or simply a germ. The term pathogen came into use in the 1880s.
