The impact of lack of memory B cells (lymphocytes maturing in the bone marrow) for a particular antigen on the type of humoral response (primary or secondary). Introduction: Humoral immunity is mediated by antibodies or macromolecules present in extracellular fluid. It is named so due to the substances involved in humors (body fluids). B lymphocytes also help in overseeing the humoral immunity. The primary function of these cells is to identify and remember specific antigens. The humoral response is divided into two types, namely, primary and secondary. The primary immune response occurs when an antigen encounters immune system for the first time leading to antigen recognition and raising antibody and producing memory lymphocytes. The secondary immune response occurs when an antigen encounters immune system for the second and more time when exposed to the same antigen.

9. Aerobic respiration of one lipid molecule. The lipid is composed of one glycerol molecule connected to two fatty acid tails. One fatty acid is 12 carbons long and the other fatty acid is 18 carbons long in the figure below. Use the information below to determine how much ATP will be produced from the glycerol part of the lipid. Then, in part B, determine how much ATP is produced from the 2 fatty acids of the lipid. Finally put the NADH and ATP yields together from the glycerol and fatty acids (part A and B) to determine your total number of ATP produced per lipid. Assume no other carbon source is available. fatty acids glycerol 18 carbons 12 carbons 0=
