- Which of the following is true about zymogens? A. Proproteins are one type of zymogen. B. Zymogens are inactivated by inhibitor proteins. C. Zymogens are enzymatically inactive. D. Zymogens cleave proteases.arrow_forwardCells express different genes in response to a. internal triggers and external signals b. external signals c. internal triggersarrow_forwardHow do lactoferrins inhibit pathogen growth? Group of answer choices A. Lactoferrins are used by phagocytic cells to digest pathogens once they have been ingested by the phagocytes. B. Lactoferrins bind to pathogens and are secreted during urination. C. These molecules bind iron, which is important for microbial growth. D. These molecules cut the bonds holding NAG and NAM together in bacterial cell walls, causing the bacteria to lyse.arrow_forward
- The same signal can have different effects in different cells because there a. are different receptor subtypes that initiate different signal transduction pathways. b. may be different coactivators in different cells. c. may be different target proteins in different cells’ signal transduction pathways. d. All of the choices are correct.arrow_forwardWhy is a cell-mediated immune response more effective against intracellular microorganisms (such as viruses) than an antibody-mediated response? Select one: a. Cell-mediated (vs. antibody-mediated) response results in activation of many more immune cells, so it is more effective at destroying antigens. b. Intracellular microorganisms are too large for antibodies to be effective against. c. Cell-mediated response results in destruction of cells containing the intracellular microorganism; antibodies can not enter cells. d. Intracellular microorganisms are too small for antibodies to be effective against.arrow_forwardWhy are encapsolated bacteria generally more pathogenic than un-capsolated strains. a. Because capsule allows the organism to hide in the body of the host. b. because the capsule causes the phagocyte to mutate c. because the capsule protects bacteria from host immune cells d. because the capsule kills the phagocytes e. because the capsule stimulates a potent immune response in the host.arrow_forward
- A nurse is interviewing a patient who just received newsthat he has pancreatic cancer. The patient tells the nurse thatgetting cancer could never happen to him. Which defensemechanism is this patient demonstrating?a. Projectionb. Denialc. Displacementd. Repressionarrow_forwardHay fever, also called allergic rhinitis, is a common ailment in the spring. People who experience hay fever have sensitive immune systems that respond to pollen in the air. When pollen, the allergen, enters the airways, the inflammatory response is triggered, even though pollen is not a dangerous molecule. Symptoms include inflammation of the airways, nasal congestion, and watery eyes. While there is currently no cure for hay fever, people suffering from it often take antihistamines, medications that inhibit the action of histamine. How would this help the condition?arrow_forwardWhich of the following might explain why some individuals lack the ability to make enough T-cells? a. A mutation in a gene necessary for T-cell fucntions that prevents Exportin from binding to mRNA b. A mutation in the core promoter of a specific gene necessary for T-cell functions c. A mutation in a gene necessary for T-cell fucntions that prevents N-linked glycosylation d. A mutation in a gene necessary for T-cell fucntions that leads to a change in a splice site e. Any of these is possiblearrow_forward

Which of the following activities would you look for in a potential anti-inflammatory agent? A It should function as a dominant-negative receptor for pro-inflammatory cytokines. It should be an agonist of a pro-inflammatory cytokine. C It should compete with the pro-inflammatory cytokine for the binding to its receptor. D It should function as a constitutively active receptor for pro-inflammatory cytokines. E It should facilitate the production of second messengers in response to a pro-inflammatory cytokine.arrow_forward
