• The pathogen.

Antibodies are made by...

• Your own cells.
• The pathogen.

What is the role of antibodies?

Phagocytes help destroy pathogenic bacteria by

• causing mutations in the bacteria

• engulfing and digesting the bacteria

• producing toxins that compete with bacterial toxins

• inserting part of their DNA into the bacterial cells

If an individual is exposed to a pathogen that they have already been exposed to, the immune system responds by...

• Sending extra phagocytes to engulf and destroy the pathogen

• Making antibodies to fight the pathogen for the first time

• Memory cells make antibodies faster and in larger quantities

What is the correct order for the following statements:

A- B cells produce antibodies to neutralise the pathogen, as well as memory cells for long-term immunity

B- Phagocytes engulf the invading pathogen and present the antigen in their cell membrane

C- Antibodies neutralise the pathogen

D- Lymphocytes (T- cells) are activated, which in turn activates B- cells

E- Pathogen enters the body and antigens on the pathogen alert the phagocytes

• E, D, A, C, B

• E, B, D, A, C

• B, E, D, A, C

• D, E, C, B, A
