Understanding Antibodies and Antigens

Professor Bill Tyson introduces the immune system's defense mechanisms, focusing on leukocytes and antibodies. He explains how B-lymphocytes recognize antigens and produce antibodies to neutralize them. The video covers the specificity of antigen-antibody interactions and the body's ability to remember past invaders, ensuring a swift response to future attacks. The session concludes with a call to share the video and promote the fun in learning science.

Who is the presenter of the video?

• Mr. John Doe

What are the microscopic organisms that activate our defense system called?

• B-lymphocytes

• Antibodies

• Leukocytes

• Antigens

Which specific leukocyte recognizes invading cells?

• Monocyte

• Neutrophil

• B-lymphocyte

• T-lymphocyte

What do antibodies do once they attach to an antigen?

• All of the above

• They break down the plasma membrane

• They multiply the antigen

• They call leukocytes to do phagocytosis

What is the process called where each type of antibody works with a particular type of intruder?

• Plasma membrane breakdown

• Agglutination

• Phagocytosis

• Antigen-antibody process

What is the ability of antibodies to bind to antigens called?

• Phagocytosis

• Agglutination

• Antigen-antibody process

• Plasma membrane breakdown

What happens if our defense system fights an antigen once?

• It forgets the antigen

• It multiplies the antigen

• It ignores the antigen

• It remembers the antigen
