Aperson eats food prepared on a kitchen counter covered with living infectious bacteria. which of the following best describes an example of how the bacteria might resist the person's nonspecific immune defenses?

For those who do not have the options, the answer was A. Phagocytes that try to engulf the bacteria are soon destroyed by enzymes produced by the bacteria.

Explanation:

This is how the bacteria will resist nonspecific immune defenses! Non-specific immune defenses are the first line of immune defense. They could include sweat and even skin.

chromosomes carry the genetic information for organisms. also, chromatin is the thread like dna which is located in the nucleus of an organism.

c. earths continental crust is thicker than its lithosphere.

because, the lithosphere is the outermost layer of the earth/ 100 km thick and is defined by its machanical properties.the lithosphere contains oceanic and continental crust that varies in age and thickness across locations and geologic time. the lithosphere is the coolest layer of the earth in terms of temperature. the term lithosphere should not be confused with the use of "geosphere" which is used to indicate all of earth systems, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere   and biosphere. the surface of the earth can be divided into the continental crust and the oceanic crust.   the continental crust is made mostly of granite while the oceanic crust is made of basalt. the average thickness of the continental crust is 25 miles and the average thickness of the oceanic crust is 5 miles.   three types of rock, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, make up the surface of the earth. that's why 3 option is preferable.
