How do bacteria strains like pneumonia become immune to antibiotics?
They become immune by mutating and blocking certain receptors on the bacteria's surface, which would normally be where the antibiotics would attach to.
What percentage of bacteria does your immune system kill?
The immune system is highly effective at eliminating bacteria, but the percentage can vary widely depending on the type of bacteria and the individual's immune response. Generally, the immune system can eliminate a significant majority of pathogens, often cited as 90% or more, especially during acute infections. However, some bacteria can evade or resist immune detection, leading to persistent infections. Overall, the exact percentage is difficult to quantify universally due to these variables.

How does exercise affect your immune?
Because your legs move and hits your immune.
What percentage of energy in the human body is used by the immune system at rest?
At rest, the immune system consumes about 10-20% of the body's total energy expenditure. This percentage can vary depending on factors such as individual metabolism, health status, and the presence of infections or inflammation. The energy is primarily used for the maintenance and function of immune cells, signaling molecules, and other processes essential for immune surveillance.
What structural feature on HIV allows it to attach to a receptor on the cell membrane of its target?
The surface of the HIV virion contains a glycoprotein called gp120 which allows it to attach to human immune system cells. The T cells of the immune systemhave a receptor on their cell membrane called CD45. A strong interaction between CD45 and gp120 has been shown.
