AP Biology Summer Summaries There are many differences between proximate and evolutionary causes and explanations on why we are such easy targets for diseases. The proximate explanations are described by its anatomy‚ physiology‚ and biochemistry. Evolutionary explanations go into detail on what would happen if we didn’t have the genes that cause us to get sick. Proximate causes look for what genes it is made up of and how it works. Evolutionary causes are why natural selection hasn’t eliminated

AP: CHAPTER 43: IMMUNE SYSTEM 1. List the two lines of nonspecific defense mechanisms with examples of each. • External defense‚ which includes the skin and mucous membranes in the body. • Internal defense which includes phagocytic cells and antimicrobial proteins. 2. What is meant by specific defense? Defense mechanisms are said to be specific because depending on which one they focus on one specific part of the body or a specific type of pathogen. 3. Give examples of “barrier defense

8/21/2012 | Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the usable form of chemical energy for muscular activity. It is stored in most cells‚ particularly in muscle cells. Other forms of chemical energy‚ such as that available from the foods we eat‚ must be transferred into ATP form before they can be utilized by the muscle cells. | Since energy is released when ATP is broken down‚ energy is required to rebuild or resynthesize ATP. The building blocks of ATP synthesis are the by-products of its breakdown;

------------------------------------------------- Industrial wastewater treatment Industrial wastewater treatment covers the mechanisms and processes used to treat waters that have been contaminated in some way by anthropogenic industrial or commercial activities prior to its release into the environment or its re-use. Most industries produce some wet waste although recent trends in the developed world have been to minimise such production or recycle such waste within the production process. However
