Defensins, lysozymes, mucin, stomach acid, gut microbiota, tight junctions of gastrointenstinal epithelial cells are the physical/chemical barriers to infection will the pathogen encounter en route to the intestine and once it reaches the intestine after eating lettuce contaminated with EHEC

Explanation:

The enterohemorrhagic strain of Escherichia coli (EHEC) grows in the intestines, produces the highly potent Shiga toxin. E.coli is a foodborne pathogen.

Innate immunity acts against the EHEC pathogens through physical and chemical barriers with certain non-specific responses.

Physical barriers include skin and mucous membrane. Chemical barriers include stomach acid, lysozyme, defensin.

Tight junctions are the watertight regions lining the gastrointestinal mucosal surface with tightly packed epithelial cells which prevent the flow of E. coli bacteria between the host compartments.

The mucous membranes covered with tight junctions secrete mucin and lysozyme.

Mucin blocks the pathogen’s ability to attach to the cell surfaces and thereby inhibits its invasion.

Lysozymes are mucosal enzymes which act against the pathogens trying to adhere to the gut epithelium.

Defensins are peptides that attack the cytoplasmic membrane of the pathogens and kill them

Stomach acid (HCl) reduces the pH of the gut and maintains an acidic environment, and thereby inhibits the entry of foodborne pathogens

Gut microbes are commensal organisms that aid immunity by:

Colonization and creating competition for space and food Secreting toxins which can kill the pathogenic organisms

Answer from: Quest

the dna molecules have a negative charge because of the phosphate groups in their sugar-phosphate backbone, so they start moving through the matrix of the gel towards the positive pole. power is turned on and dna fragments migrate through gel (towards the positive electrode).

Will mark brainliest i only need the ! 1.use ten beads and a centromere of one color to construct the long chromosome. use ten beads and a centromere of a second color to construct the second chromosome in the long pair. make a drawing of the chromosomes in the space below. 2. for the second pair of chromosomes, use only five beads. 3. now model the replication of the chromosomes. make a drawing of your model in the space below. part b: meiosis i during meiosis i, the cell divides into two diploid daughter cells. 4. pair up the chromosomes to form tetrads. use the longer tetrad to model crossing-over. make a drawing of the tetrads in the space below. 5. line up the tetrads across the center of your “cell.” then model what happens to the chromosomes during anaphase i. 6. divide the cell into two daughter cells. use the space below to make a drawing of the result. part c: meiosis ii during meiosis ii, the daughter cells divide again. 7. line up the chromosomes at the center of the first cell, one above the other. separate the chromatids in each chromosome and move them to opposite sides of the cell. 8. repeat step 7 for the second cell. 9. divide each cell into two daughter cells. use the space below to make a drawing of the four haploid cells
