Total questions: 20
Worksheet time: 10mins
The purpose of introducing weakened microbes into the body of an organism is to stimulate the
production of living microbes that will protect the organism from future attacks
production of antigens that will prevent infections from occurring
immune system to react and prepare the organism to fight future invasions by these microbes
replication of genes that direct the synthesis of hormones that regulate the number of microbes
The immune system of humans may respond to chemicals on the surface of an invading organism by
releasing hormones that break down these chemicals
synthesizing antibodies that mark these organisms to be destroyed
secreting antibiotics that attach to these organisms
altering a DNA sequence in these organisms
To increase chances for a successful organ transplant, the person receiving the organ should be given special medications. The purpose of these medications is to
increase the immune response in the person receiving the transplant
decrease the immune response in the person receiving the transplant
decrease mutations in the person receiving the transplant
increase mutations in the person receiving the transplant
Select the immune response, chosen from the list below, that is most closely associated with that phrase.

(1) Active immunity
(2) Passive immunity

In some individuals, the immune system attacks substances such as grass pollen that are usually harmless, resulting in
an allergic reaction
a form of cancer
an insulin imbalance
a mutation
Certain microbes, foreign tissues, and some cancerous cells can cause immune responses in the human body because all three contain
antigens
enzymes
fats
cytoplasm
The diagram represents one possible immune response that can occur in the human body.
The structures that are part of the immune system are represented by
A, only
A and C, only
B and C, only
A, B, and C
The diagram below represents how HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, interacts with a certain type of white blood cell called a helper T-cell.
What is one possible result of the cellular activity represented in the diagram?
Immune responses of an infected individual will be weakened.
The red blood cells of a person infected with AIDS will no longer be able to make antibodies.
This virus will strengthen future immune responses against blood-related diseases.
Immune responses will prevent the spread of AIDS in humans.
A 6-year-old child ate a peanut butter sandwich at snack time in school. Five minutes later, her throat became swollen and she collapsed. This allergic reaction occurred because her body
recognized an antigen in peanut butter and produced antibiotics against it
digested the white blood cells that can recognize an antigen in peanut butter
did not recognize an antigen in peanut butter and could not produce antibodies against it
recognized an antigen in peanut butter and produced an immune response
The human immune system fights infection by releasing
ATPs
antibiotics
antibodies
antigens
Cells of the immune system are able to respond to the presence of invading organisms because they recognize the
antigens present on the invaders
antibodies present in invading pathogens
DNA pattern in the nuclei of viruses
antibiotics released from microbes
A substance which causes an immunological reaction when introduced into the body of man is
glucose
insulin
an antibody
an antigen
Lymphocytes are blood cells that are most closely associated with
antibody production
oxygen transport
clot formation
carbon dioxide transport
Which statement best describes what will most likely happen when an individual receives a vaccination containing a weakened pathogen?
The ability to fight disease will increase due to antibodies received from the pathogen.
The ability to fight disease caused by the pathogen will increase due to antibody production.
The ability to produce antibodies will decrease after the vaccination.
The ability to resist most types of diseases will increase.
Which statement does not identify a characteristic of antibodies?
They are produced by the body in response to the presence of foreign substances.
They may be produced in response to an antigen.
They are nonspecific, acting against any foreign substance in the body.
They may be produced by white blood cells.
To replace burned skin, doctors can successfully transplant replacement skin taken from another part of the body of the burn victim. Which statement best explains why the transplanted skin is not rejected?
The transplanted skin is damaged, making the immune system nonfunctional.
The antigens of the replacement skin are the same as those of the damaged skin.
Burn victims lose so much blood that white blood cells cannot cause an immune response.
here is no blood supply to the skin, so mixing of antigens does not occur.
An infection in the body might result in a sudden
decrease in the activity of antigens produced by the mitochondria
decrease in the amount of DNA present in the nuclei of cells
increase in the activity of white blood cells
increase in the number of red blood cells
Newborn infants nursing from their mother receive milk containing antibodies against diseases to which the mother is immune. The infants, however, remain immune to those diseases for only a short time. This situation is an example of
active immunity
passive immunity
an oral vaccine
a phagocytic activity
An individual who has had chicken pox rarely gets this disease again. This situation is an example of
biological control
negative feedback
active immunity
passive immunity
