Year 10 revision The immune system

Microbes have proteins on their surface that are called

• hair cells

• Antigens

• Antibodies

• Immune spikes

What is the name of the white blood cells that recognise antigens and then engulf (eat) them?

• Monocytes

• Lymphocytes

• Basophils

• Phagocytes

What is the name of the white blood cells that recognise antigens and then produce antibodies to neutralise them?

• Phagocytes

• Lymphocytes

• Neutrophils

• Basophils

How do white blood cells recognise different microorganisms?

• By their shape

• By their specific antigen

• By their temperature

• By their numbers

Which of these is NOT one of the things antibodies can do?

• Mark the microbe for destruction by the phagocytes

• Clump microbes together so many can be destroyed at once

• Cause the destruction of the microbe

• Burn calories

We build up immunity by lymphocytes cells dividing many times, all producing the same type of what?

• Antigen

• Antibody

• Antimony

• Spike protein

When all microorganisms have been killed, all cloned lymphocytes producing antibodies against them die off except a few that are called ...what?

• Clone cells

• Old lymphocytes

• Memory cells

• Pathogens

Having immunity means having...what?

• Memory lymphocyte cells that can quickly multiply to kill a microorganism

• A large number of white blood cells

• A high temperature

• Inflammation

A vaccination is an injection of

• The microorganism that produces the disease

• Lymphocytes

• Neutrophils

• An antigen on a part of the microorganism

A secondary immune response produces

• Less antibodies against the microorganism than the primary response

• As many antibodies against the microorganism as the primary response

• More antibodies against the microorganism than the primary response

• No antibodies at all
