Q

B Cells

A

Produce special Y antibody proteins that allow antigens to be tagged for immune response

17
Q

Lysogenic virus cycle

A

Passive passing on of viral genes in a cell while letting the host cell remain dormant until a trigger

18
Q

Eukaryotic Vs Prokaryotic cells

A

Eukaryotes have a nuclear membrane, distinct organelles, and reproduce through mitosis. prokaryotes reproduce through binary fission.

19
Q

Bacteria vs Archea

A

Archea have different cell membrane structures, can live in more extreme environments, and do not form endospores

20
Q

Active Immunity

A

Creation of antibodies through vaccination or immune response

21
Q

passive immunity

A

Natural transfer of antibodies

22
Q

Kingdom protista

A

A eukaryotic organism that is not part of the animal, fungi or plant kingdoms. Can share characteristic of each kingodm though, and are broadly described by their similarity to one or the other.

23
Q

Kingdom animalia

A

largest single kingdom, and encompasses the broad range of species on earth. this describes most creatures that move, breath oxygen, and reproduce sexually

24
Q

Kingdom fungi

A

describes fungi, which reproduce through spores, digest food outside of the body, and do not move or photosynthesize. visible portion is usually only the fruiting body that spreads spores.

25
Q

Kindom plantae

A

immobile, preform photosynthesis and are autotrophs. have cell walls and make heavy use of cellulose.
