Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: 42.3 | Antibodies By the end of this section, you will be able to: Explain cross-reactivity Describe the structure and function of antibodies Discuss antibody production An antibody, also known as an immunoglobulin (Ig), is a protein that is produced by plasma cells after stimulation by an antigen. Antibodies are the functional basis of humoral immunity. Antibodies occur in the blood, in gastric and mucus secretions, and in breast milk. Antibodies in these bodily fluids can bind pathogens and mark them for destruction by phagocytes before they can infect cells. Q: What protein is produced when a plasma cell is stimulated by antigens? Choices: - collagen - dystrophin - keratin - immunoglobulin A:
Ans: immunoglobulin

Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Leaf Structure and Function The outermost layer of the leaf is the epidermis; it is present on both sides of the leaf and is called the upper and lower epidermis, respectively. Botanists call the upper side the adaxial surface (or adaxis) and the lower side the abaxial surface (or abaxis). The epidermis helps in the regulation of gas exchange. It contains stomata (Figure 30.24): openings through which the exchange of gases takes place. Two guard cells surround each stoma, regulating its opening and closing. Q: The outermost layer of the leaf is the epidermis; it is present on both sides of the leaf and is called the upper and lower epidermis, respectively. botanists call the upper side the adaxial surface (or adaxis) and the lower side this? Choices: - dorsal surface - posterior surface - anterior surface - abaxial surface (or abaxis) A:
Ans: abaxial surface (or abaxis)

Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: treat genetic disorders. For example, copies of a normal gene might be inserted into a patient with a defective gene. This is called gene therapy . Ideally, it can cure a genetic disorder. Q: Inserting copies of normal genes into a patient with defective genes is known as? Choices: - pattern therapy - cloning - chromosome treatment - gene therapy A:
Ans: gene therapy

Ques: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Both mammals and birds evolved endothermy. Endothermy means controlling body temperature within a narrow range from the inside through biochemical or physical means. For example, on a cold day, an endotherm may produce more body heat by increasing its rate of metabolism. On a hot day, it may give off more heat by increasing blood flow to the surface of the body. That way, some of the heat can radiate into the air from the body's surface. Endothermy requires more energy (and food) than ectothermy. However, it allows the animal to stay active regardless of the temperature outside.

Q: What term means controlling body temperature within a narrow range from the inside through biochemical or physical means? Choices: - exothermy - regulation - evaporation - endothermy A:
Ans:
endothermy
