6. What happens if the same pathogen enters the body again ?

  • It causes secondary response
  • Primary response

7. Once there are memory cells in the body, what is the person ?

  • Immune
  • Infected

8. After being exposed to the antigen, what Lymphocytes produce memory cells which remain in the body for a long time ?

  • T lymphocyte and B lymphocyte
  • T lymphocyte
  • B lymphocyte
  • None

9. Three ways antibodies help clear infection ?

  • Agglutinating pathogens - two binding sites so each antibody can bind to two pathogens. Neutralising toxins - Antibodies can bind to toxins produced by pathogen, making them neutralised. Preventing the pathogen from binding to a human cell.
  • Chemicals which kills host cells, receptors, more than one antibody

10. What is the purpose of the constant region on a antibody ?

  • It allows binding to receptors on immune system cells, is the same for all antibodies
  • Allow bonding to antigens

11. Are plasma cells identical to the lymphocyte that divides into it ?

  • Yes
  • No
  • Some

12. What cells are activated in primary response ?

  • T lymphocyte and B lymphocyte
  • Memory

13. What is the purpose of the disulfide bridge on a antibody ?

  • Its holds the monosaccharide chains together
  • It holds the polypeptide chains together
  • It holds the carbohydrate chains together

14. What do the plasma cells of the B lymphocyte serete alot of ?

  • Antibodies, specific to the antigen into the blood
  • Antigens, speific to the antibody, into the blood

15. Are there symptoms in primary response while antibodies are being made by plasma cells ?

  • Yes
  • No

16. Why is the primary response slow ?

  • Because when the antigen first enters the body, there arent many B lymphocytes which can make the required antibodies.
  • There arent enough phagocytes to engulf the pathogen in the body.
