An autoimmune disease is a condition in which your immune system mistakenly attacks your body.
The immune system normally guards against germs like bacteria and viruses. When it senses these foreign invaders, it sends out an army of fighter cells to attack them. Normally, the immune system can tell the difference between foreign cells and your own cells.
In an autoimmune disease, the immune system mistakes part of your body ? like your joints or skin ? as foreign. It releases proteins called autoantibodies that attack healthy cells. Some autoimmune diseases target only one organ. Type 1 diabetes damages the pancreas. Other diseases, like lupus, affect the whole body.
Hence, Systematic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease that affects multiple organs.
Chloroplasts use energy from light to transform carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen.
A green pigment located in membranes within the chloroplasts of plants and algae and in the membranes of certain prokaryotes.
Capillaries Tiny blood vessels connecting arteries to veins. These blood vessels carry oxygen
and nutrients to individual cells. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels in the body, and have
walls only one or two cells thick. (Their diameter is 5 to 10 micrometers, or 5 to 10 millionths of
a meter.)
Capillaries connect arterioles and venules, which are the smaller extensions of the larger arteries and veins.
RNA - ribonucleic acid is a type of nucleic acid. The sugar contained in it is called Ribose.
The building blocks of the nucleic acids are "Nucleotides".
Each nucleotide are composed of three parts. They are ::
1.Pentose sugar
2.Nitrogenous bases
3.Phosphoric acid.
Because arteries have to have thick walls for use of protection. Its when you get to veins where the walls get thinner. And the use of the heart is to pump blood to all of the cells and organs in the body so it would be to transport blood away from the heart.
i.e.
Arteries = Away from the Heart
Veins = Back to the Heart.
The First step of Bacterial Replication is DNA Replication.
DNA must be copied in order to proceed.
All living cells arise from pre-existing cells is one component of the cell theory.
The Cell Theory is one of the basic principles of biology.
The Cell Theory states:
1. All living organisms are composed of cells. They may be unicellular or multicellular.
2. The cell is the basic unit of life.
3. Cells arise from pre-existing cells.
Polygenic inheritance involves the determination of a particular phenotypic characteristic by many genes, called polygenes(group of genes influencing a quantitative characteristic), each having a small effect individually.
Height and skin colour in humans are examples of Polygenic characters.
A pulse can be detected most easily in Arteries as they are under much greater pressure than veins because they are carrying blood away from the heart which is the pumping machine to force blood to move to all of the body.
Every time the hear contracts, it can be felt in an artery where a surge of blood has just been forced.
A capillary is too small to feel a pulse and a lacteal is part of the lymphatic system found in the small intestine.
