Textbook Question
Chapter 24, Problem 12TYK
Your roommate is rushed to the hospital after suffering a severe allergic reaction to a bee sting. After she is treated and released, she asks you (the local biology expert!) to explain what happened. She says, “I don’t understand how this could have happened. I’ve been stung by bees before and didn’t have a reaction.” Suggest an explanation for what has happened to cause her severe allergic reaction and why she did not have the reaction after previous bee stings.

Bacteriophage is added to a culture of human T cells and none of the human T cells were infected by bacteriophage. Why?
T cells do not have the proper protein machinery to carry out transcription and translation of bacteriophage genes.
T cells do not have the corresponding cell surface receptors that are recognized by bacteriophage viruses.
T cells have a thick outer cell wall that blocks bacteriophage infection.
T cells do not carry out DNA replication and thus are not good hosts for the bacteriophage viruses.
We talked in one of our first lectures about how we began to understand the potentiation of an action potential down an axon by stimulating and recording electrical changes in a giant squid neuron. Which neuroscience method enabled that discovery?

a-activation of complement
b- neutralization of toxin

- An experiment tested the hypothesis that exposure to pesticides decreases immune function in tadpoles. The researchers raised tadpoles in groups, in containers of the same size in a room with consistent temperature and lighting. They exposed some tadpoles to no pesticides, some to low pesticide levels, and some to high pesticide levels, and then measured the density of white blood cells (immune cells) in the tadpoles. Part a: The researchers used a(n) ______________ experiment to show the effects of pesticides on tadpoles. Group of answer choices A. natural history B. laboratory C. field D. quantitative model E. observational part b: What is the dependent variable in this experiment? Group of answer choices A. consistent temperature B. density of white blood cells C. level of pesticides D. intensity of lighting E. number of tadpoles part c: The negative control treatment in the experiment was the: Group of answer choices A. tadpole group receiving no…arrow_forwardThe Adaptive Immune Response Is a Specific Defense Against Infection Researchers have been having a difficult time developing a vaccine against a certain pathogenic virus as a result of the lack of a weakened strain. They turn to you because of your wide knowledge of recombinant DNA technology and the immune system. How could you vaccinate someone against the virus, using a cloned gene from the virus that encodes a cell-surface protein?arrow_forwardWhen we get sick we trust our immune system to protect us, but what happens when that system goes awry and ends up killing patients? Question: What is Cytokine Storm, and how does it work? What happens during the immuneresponse to the Corona virus, which results in a high number of deaths? Analyze and give a brief report.arrow_forward
- In the text, the author describes the benefits of receiving vaccines. Are there disadvantages? Why do you think some people might choose not to get vaccinated?arrow_forwardWhat does innate mean? How is the innate immune system different from the adaptive immune system? Compare the strategies of innate immunity with strategies of adaptive immunity. Give specific examples. How do vaccines protect us from diseases? Which cells in the immune system become activated after the injection? Your answer should be written as 2 or more paragraphs with a total word count of 400 or more.arrow_forwardCould the adaptive immune system operate without the innate immune system? Give at least 2 examples to support your answer.arrow_forward
- A mother with A positive blood is pregnant with her second child. Her first child had A negative blood. If her second child has A negative blood, will the mother’s immune system attack the fetus or not? Explain your answer using a membrane function.arrow_forwardIf our immune system can recognize any foreign antigen, why is it necessary to vaccinate a person?arrow_forwardWhich immune cells circulate in the body, providing immunity by producing antibodies? A. T-cells, B. Antigens, C. B-cells, D. Lymph Nodesarrow_forward
