A-B

Question 1

ACID

Answer 1

substance with a pH less than 7

Question 2

ACTIVE IMMUNITY

Answer 2

protection against a specific pathogen resulting from the production of antibodies in response to the presence of specific antigens (ex. infection or vaccine)

Question 3

ADAPTIVE IMMUNE SYSTEM

Answer 3

develops specific response triggered by presence of specific antigens. because each is unique, adaptive immunity is at a slower rate. once defense is creates, cellular memory is able to trigger a faster response

Question 11

ANION

Answer 11

negatively charged ion

Question 12

ANTIBODY

Answer 12

blood protein that counteracts as a specific antigen

Question 13

ANTIBODY-MEDIATED IMMUNITY

Question 14

ANTIDIURETIC HORMONE

Answer 14

secretion from the pituitary gland that increases the amount of water able to be reabsorbed from a collecting duct

Question 15

ANTIGEN PRESENTING CELL

Answer 15
