Worksheet time: 23mins
Which of the following is an example of a specific immune defence?
Which term is used to describe molecules, often proteins located on the surface of cells that trigger a specific immune response?
What type of white blood cells are involved in the specific immune response and respond to specific antigens on invading pathogens?
lymphocytes
phagocytes
mast cells
antibodies
What term describes Y-shaped proteins that have receptor binding sites specific to a particular antigen on a pathogen?
antibodies
cytokines
lysosomes
histamine
What term describes the clones of identical lymphocytes are produced when a lymphocyte is activated by binding to a specific antigen?
Which of the following are examples of autoimmune diseases?
type 1 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis.
type 2 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis.
type 1 diabetes and stroke
heart attack and rheumatoid arthritis.
clonal selection
differentiation
Which type of cells destroy infected body cells by recognising antigens of the pathogen on the cell membrane and inducing programmed cell death?
T lymphocytes
B lymphocytes
Which of these is present on the surface of your own body cells?
T lymphocytes attach onto infected cells and release proteins. These proteins diffuse into the infected cells causing production of _____________ which cause cell death.
self-destructive enzymes
cytokines
histamine
antibodies
Antibodies become bound to antigens, inactivating the pathogen. The resulting antigen-antibody complex can then be destroyed by what process?
phagocytosis
desensitisation
summation
allergic reaction
An allergic reaction is caused by the hypersensitive response of ______________ to a harmless substance.
In which immune response is antibody production is greater and more rapid?
antibodies
An antigen binding to a lymphocyte leads to repeated lymphocyte division, resulting in the formation of a ______________ of identical lymphocytes.
clonal population
cytokine population
antigen-antibody complex
clonal apoptosis
___ causes depletion of T lymphocytes which leads to the development of AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome).
HIV
DNA
RNA
ATP
