Question
Chapter 29, Problem 29.35AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The action of T cells to combat diseases has be determined.
Concept introduction:
T- Cells are a type of White Blood Cell that circulates around our bodies, scanning for cellular abnormalities and infections.
T- Cells are essential for human immunity. They naturally eradicate cancer cells.
It can activate and help other immune cells that ingest germs or that make anti-infection molecules called antibodies.
Types of T-Cells
T helper cells
Cytotoxic T cells
Memory T cells
Natural killer T-Cell: This type of T cells can destroy specific cells with antigens on their surface.
Helper T-cell: This type of T-cells coordinates the attack against pathogens along with killer T-cells.
Antigen is a protein on a foreign object that stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies. A virus, bacteria, toxin that trigger the immune response.

Which of the following describes the most relevant intracellular change to B cells as they are transformed into plasma cells? A B a breakdown of some membrane-bound proteins to allow synthesized antibodies to more readily diffuse across the membrane of the plasma cell с an increase in the surface area of the rough endoplasmic reticulum in order to allow the binding of a large number of ribosomes for antibody synthesis D an increase in the number of lysosomes in order to facilitate the storage of synthesized antibodies ahead of their transport out of the cell an increase in the volume of the mitochondria in order to increase…arrow_forward

For an animal's immune system to work properly, certain cells must be able to recognize other specific types of cells, so that they can bind to and communicate with them. These types of interactions allow an immune system to decide if and when to launch an immune response. For example, dendritic cells must be able to recognize and interact with T-cells, but they do not need to recognize adipocyte cells. Which of the following describes a difference between T-cells and adipocyte cells that would allow dendritic cells to recognize one, but not the other? A. Adipocyte cells must have a cell wall, while T-cells lack one. B. T-cells and adipocyte cells must have different types of lipids that compose their plasma membranes. C. Adipocyte cells must lack endoplasmic reticulum, while T-cells possess endoplasmic reticulum. D. T-cells and adipocyte cells must have some differences in the carbohydrates and/or…arrow_forward
