Explain in detail why it may take longer for you to fight off the flu virus the first time this season than it would if you caught the same strain a second time.

"when an infection has cleared, a small number of B and T cells are present in the blood with memory of the virus, allowing them to activate and destroy viruses more quick and fast next time when they enter the body."which is known as immune system."

Explanation:

Our immune system is not only designed to destroy disease-causing codes but remembers codes it's encountered so they are able to fight against them with when they return. when we all come across these types of invaders our layer of protection stops it from entering our body. When body senses a virus or other infections, like bacteria, the body tends to try and destroy the foreign invaders. The first step is the macrophages is activated. Macrophages destroy the foreign invaders.  If the viruses penetrates deep into the body it result into infection. Where the T cells and B cells are activated to fight against these viruses.T & B cells contains antibodies that attach to the virus and label it as foreign for other cells to destroy.

its c i just checked it

bacteria that live on the ocean floor are sustained by phytoplankton. phytoplankton, microscopic marine photosynthetic organisms, have a vastly significant role to play not only in the marine food web of which they’re part of, but also on a more global scale. despite their infinitely small size in comparison to other marine organisms, these tiny creatures occupy an immensely important ecological niche: they are the foundation of the marine food web, and as primary producers, play key roles in supporting all other organisms in the marine environment, as well as in the regulation of the earth’s climate through the sequestration of carbon, oxygen production, and other related processes. phytoplankton account for roughly half of all global primary productivity; therefore, their significance extends far beyond the marine environment alone. there is an intriguing sense of irony in the realization that these tiny living beings that often live out their existence unnoticed and undetected by the rest of the world, have such a far-reaching impact on the lives of virtually all other living organisms on the planet, particularly on those in the marine environment. the world that we have become accustomed to has been and is continuously shaped by the workings of these miniscule yet vital “plants of the sea”.

hope this !
