Lymphoid organs limit the spread of disease by filtering and trapping microscopic pathogens, preventing them from traveling elsewhere in the body. which of the following statements correctly links a functional or structural feature with the appropriate lymphoid organ? (a) the outer cortex of the thymus consists of lymphoid follicles separated by inward extensions of the capsule called trabeculae.(b) red pulp, found in the spleen, contains macrophages that destroy old erythrocytes.(c) white pulp in the lymph nodes contains macrophages and leukocytes that filter pathogens from lymph.(d) the lymph nodes secrete hormones that produce functional t cells, which protect the body from pathogens.

(B) Red pulp, found in the spleen, contains macrophages that destroy old erythrocytes.

Explanation:

Lymphoid organs limit the spread of disease by filtering and trapping microscopic pathogens, preventing them from traveling elsewhere in the body. Red pulp, found in the spleen, contains macrophages that destroy old erythrocytes correctly links a functional or structural feature with the appropriate lymphoid organ.

who knows

explanation:

answer: decrease

a limiting factor is the one which decrease the abundance, distribution and causes extinction of the population of species in a ecosystem. here, predators including hawks, owls and snakes are the limiting factor for the population of mexican free tailed bat.   although bats are nocturnal animals as they forge for food at night these predators also may remain active during night which can decrease the population of the mexican free-tailed bats. also, these bats eat only one type of insects that are moths. the food can also be a limiting factor as all 400 members are dependent upon same type of food needs that are moths. the decrease in the moth population can cause decrease in population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.

therefore, the scenarios will most likely to decrease the population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.
