Immu 1 Answer – 40 Action of white blood cells when certain bacteria enter the body
Immu 1 - 50 State one specific way white blood cells help to protect the human body from pathogens.
Immu 1 Answer – 50 By engulfing invaders By producing antibodies By marking invaders for killing
Immu 2 - 10 The diagram below represents an event that occurs in the blood Which event best describes this event? Cell A is a white blood cell releasing antigens to destroy bacteria Cell A is a cancer cell produced by the immune system and it is helping to prevent disease Cell A is a white blood cell engulfing disease-causing organism Cell A is protecting bacteria so they can reproduce without being destroyed by predators Cell A
Immu 2 Answer – 10 3. Cell A is a white blood cell engulfing disease-causing organism
Immu 2 - 20 Bacteria and dead cells are removed from circulatory fluid in the Urinary bladder Gallbladder Alveoli Lymph nodes
Immu 2 Answer – 20 4. Lymph nodes
Immu 2 - 30 The diagram below shows a cell in the human body engulfing a bacterial cell The cell labeled X is most likely a Red blood cell White blood cell Liver cell Nerve cell X
Immu 2 Answer – 30 2. White blood cell
Immu 2 - 40 Some human white blood cells help destroy pathogenic bacteria by Causing mutations in the bacteria Engulfing and digesting the bacteria Producing toxins that compete with bacterial toxins Inserting part of their DNA into the bacterial cells
Immu 2 Answer – 40 2. Engulfing and digesting the bacteria
Immu 2 - 50 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
Immu 2 Answer – 50 Synthesizing antibodies that mark these organisms to be destroyed
Immu 3 - 10 Which activity is not a response of human white blood cells to pathogens? Engulfing and destroying bacteria Producing antibodies Identifying invaders for destruction Removing carbon dioxide
Immu 3 Answer – 10 4. Removing carbon dioxide
Immu 3 - 20 A researcher needs information antigen-antibody reactions. Searching for which phrase would lead the researcher to information about these reactions? Protein synthesis Energy sources in nature White blood cell activity DNA replication
Immu 3 Answer – 20 3. White blood cell activity
Immu 3 - 30 Which function is associated with phagocytes in the blood? Initiating blood clots Transporting dissolved nutrients Producing hormones Engulfing bacteria
Immu 3 Answer – 30 4. Engulfing bacteria
Immu 3 - 40 What phase does not describe a way the human body responds to fight disease? Destruction of infectious agents by white blood cells Production of antibodies by white blood cells Increased production of white blood cells Production of pathogens by white blood cells
Immu 3 Answer – 40 4. Production of pathogens by white blood cells
Immu 3 - 50 Lymphocytes are blood cells that are most closely associated with Antibody production Oxygen transport Clot formation Carbon dioxide transport
Immu 3 Answer – 50 1. Antibody production
Immu 4 - 10 It is recommended that people at risk for serious flu complications be vaccinated so that their bodies will produce Antigens to fight the flu virus Antibodies against the flu virus Toxins to fight the infection caused by the flu virus Antibiotics to reduce symptoms caused by the flu virus
Immu 4 Answer – 10 2. Antibodies against the flu virus
Immu 4 - 20 Drugs to reduce the risk of rejection are given to organ transplant patients because the donated organ contains Foreign antigens Foreign antibodies DNA molecules Pathogenic microbe
Immu 4 Answer – 20 1. Foreign antigens
Immu 4 - 30 X The diagram below represent the human lymphatic system A major function of the structures labeled X is to Pump lymph in the proper direction Transport glucose throughout the body Filter bacteria and dead cells from the lymph Remove undigested food from the blood X
Immu 4 Answer – 30 3. Filter bacteria and dead cells from the lymph
Immu 4 - 40 When a new viral infection appears in a population, scientists usually try to develop a vaccine against the virus. Which substances would most likely be contained in the new vaccine? live bacteria that ingest viruses White blood cells from an infected individual Weakened viruses associated with the infection A variety of microbes that will attack the virus
Immu 4 – 40 3. Weakened viruses associated with the infection
Immu 4 - 50 The virus that causes AIDS is damaging to the body because it Targets cells that fight invading microbes Attacks specific red blood cells Causes an abnormally high insulin level Prevents the normal transmission of nerve impulses

Immu 5 - 10 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 There is no blood supply to the skin, so mixing of antigens does not occur
