Antibodies are specialized proteins that target specific antigens, such as viruses or bacteria. They are produced by B lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell. Antibodies help the immune system by assisting phagocytes in identifying and ingesting invaders or by attacking them directly.

What are antibodies specifically effective against?

• Any type of antigen

• A specific type of antigen

• All types of bacteria

• All types of viruses

Which cells are responsible for producing antibodies?

• Platelets

• B lymphocytes

• T lymphocytes

• Red blood cells

What is the primary role of antibodies in the immune system?

• To produce antigens

• To assist phagocytes in identifying and ingesting invaders

• To create new viruses

• To destroy red blood cells

How do antibodies assist phagocytes?

• By creating antigens

• By identifying and ingesting invaders

• By attacking red blood cells

• By producing more antibodies

What is the direct action of antibodies against invaders?

• They attack the invaders directly

• They produce more invaders

• They create new antibodies

• They transform into phagocytes
