Concept explainers

Reproductive system infection

The biological process through which parents produce new children is called reproduction. A reproductive system is a group of internal and external organs that collaborate to allow males and females to reproduce. Many experts believe that the reproductive system is one of the most important systems in the body due to its crucial function in the survival of the species. Among the body's basic systems, the reproductive tract is the one that differs the most between sexes, and it is also the only one that does not operate until puberty.

O The ability of a helper T cell to activate B cells The human body's ability to distinguish self from non-self O The observation that someone who had recovered from the plague could safely care for those who are newly diseased O The observation that some strains of the pathogen that causes Dengue fever casue more severe disease than others
QUESTION 2 Which statement best describes autoimmune diseases? A condition in which B and I cels trigger anaphylactic shock in response to an antigen A condition in which self molecules are treated as non-self A condition in which the adaptive immune system fails to recognize the second infection by the same pathogen A condition in which the immune system creates random antibodies
When an antibody binds to the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, it may block access of the spike protein to the ACE2 protein on human cells. This is one way an antibody can prevent the virus from attaching to and getting inside of human cells. But antibodies can do more than just block virus entry. Due to the symmetrical structure of the immunoglobulin molecule, it can bind to two antigen molecules simultaneously, like this: As a result, antibodies can cross-link multiple viruses in a three-dimensional network. Using this diagram as a starting point, draw several additional viruses and antibodies to illustrate what a cross-linked antigen-antibody complex might look like.
Question 3 Which of the following statements about TI-1 antigens is FALSE? They require T cell help They do not result in memory cells They do not result in class switch or somatic hypermutation They contain a mitogen Question 4 What transcription factor is used to identify Treg celis? A) FoxP3 CTLA4 GATA3 D BCL6
SARS-CoV-2 binds, or attaches, to specific proteins on the surface of a cell. These proteins are called receptors. Scientists have determined that SARS-CoV-2 binds to the same type of receptors on human cells as a different coronavirus that caused an outbreak in 2002–2004 did. That outbreak caused fewer infections and deaths than the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak. Scientists discovered that SARS-CoV-2 is 10 to 20 times more likely to bind to these receptors than the other coronavirus was. Predict how this increased chance of binding has affected SARS-CoV-2’s ability to replicate.?
QUESTION 2 Which type of molecule recognizes macromolecules that are present in/on certain groups of pathogens? Complement proteins Histamines Interferons Toll-like receptors
People infected with SARS-Cov-2(the cornavirus that causes covid-19) can show an array of different symptoms and comlications. One complication occurs in the same patients is the development of blood clots throughout the body. Thevirus can infect endothelial cells. How are endothelia involved with blood clotting? If you were to design a pharmaceutical (medication) taht reduced blood clotting, how might it work? There are many ways to approach this question. Please mention at least one SPECIFIC REACTION in your explanation.
Kinase and coagulase are important for bacterial infections because they enable bacteria to move deeper into tissue by means of a blood clot. What type of virulence factors are these two enzymes? O Incomplete phagocytes Extracellular enzymes O Antiphagocytic factors O Endotoxins MacBook Air 888 F7 esc 4 6. 3 Q E F A
