Explain WHY the inflammation is considered non-specific and innate.
The innate immune system tends to have non-specific responses to pathogens with antimicrobial peptides. However, scientists create antimicrobial compounds which are very target specific. Explain the differences in strategy (specific vs non-specific).
Outline the Innate (Non-specific) Immune system, both the 1st and 2nd line of defenses.
Why are opsonization and complement considered part of the innate immune response if they can also involve antibodies
1. Why is complement considered a part of Innate Immunity? Is this the only form of immunity it is part of - why or why not? 2. Describe the process of complement activation. 3. Pick one of the possible outcomes complement may have and describe the outcome. 4. Why is more growth seen with the heat-inactivated plates?

Pick one of the possible outcomes complement may have and describe the outcome. 4. Why is more growth seen with the heat-inactivated plates? 5. What might it mean if, upon comparing Plate Set 1 (PS1) and Plate Set 2 (PS2) for the soil sample, they differ...
Explain how a superantigen toxin non-specifically stimulates T cells. Why does non-specific stimulation of T cells make a person sick? Explain the molecular mechanisms by which quorum sensing regulates TSST-1 expression. How do superantigens promote immune evasion? Describe impacts on B cells and T cells Why is toxic shock syndrome associated with high absorbency tampons and menstruation?
1. Explain why an indirect bandgap semiconductor is not considered “good” optical semiconductor. 2. Explain why a direct bandgap semiconductor is considered a “good” optical semiconductor. 3. Explain what a phonon is and explain why they are important for electron transitions between conduction and valence bands in indirect bandgap semiconductors. 4. Explain what is meant by a “radiative transition” and a “non-radiative transition” in semiconductors.
Oil of wintergreen is considered one of the active ingredients in many topical pain or inflammation relievers. How or why would it be?.
A. Why does inflammation occur due to physical exertion and what is the consequence? B. Explain what you could do nutritionally to minimize the inflammation that occurs due to physical exertion.
Explain why the NPV method is considered superior to the payback period and accounting rate of return methods of appraising potential capital investments. (10 marks) Explain the effect of non-financial/non-quantitative factors on project appraisal by using relevant examples.
