In a school science project, Benjamin and Scarlett are studying how antibodies influence the behavior of immune cells. What role do antibodies play in this process?
Attacking and directly eliminating pathogens
Acting as signaling molecules to coordinate immune responses
Functioning as antibodies to neutralize harmful substances
Serving as cells that capture and store antigens

Antibodies
Skin
Memory B cells
Plasma cells
What is the primary role of memory cells in the immune system?
Provide immediate protection against pathogens
Store information about past infections for future reference
Continuously produce antibodies
Be part of the innate immune system
Which of the following is a type of white blood cell involved in the immune response?
Erythrocytes
Leukocytes
Platelets
Osteocytes
Which of the following is a characteristic of an autoimmune disease?
The immune system only attacks foreign pathogens.
The immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own cells.
The immune system is unable to produce antibodies.
The immune system is overactive against all pathogens.
How do vaccines contribute to the immune system's ability to fight diseases?
Vaccines introduce live pathogens into the body to develop immunity.
Vaccines help the immune system recognize and remember pathogens without causing disease.
Vaccines weaken the immune system to prevent overreaction.
Vaccines are only effective against viral infections.
