The complement pathway is a critical mechanism for eliminating microbes, and is comprised of more than 30 proteins that are constitutively produced. Many of these proteins are synthesized as inactive pro-enzymes, and become active proteases when they are cleaved by an upstream member of the complement cascade. Importantly, the initiation of the complement cascade does not rely on the presence of antimicrobial antibodies, as:. 1. any antibody can activate the complement cascade, regardless of whether it has bound the pathogen 2. complement activation will induce antibody production 3. antibody-independent pathways of complement activation rely on complement components that directly bind to microbial surfaces 4. the pathway can still induce inflammation even in the absence of initiating signals to activate the complement cascade

Even though the ostrich is a flightless bird, ostriches still possess wings that stretch approximately two meters across when fully extended. scientists speculate that when dinosaurs became extinct, some of the birds that lived during that time became land dwellers since they were able to consume the food that the dinosaurs once ate. over time, these species grew larger and heavier. eventually, the ostrich species became too big to fly. the wings found on ostriches are known as a. analogous structures. b. homologous structures. c. vestigial structures. d. symmetrical structures.
