Part A
Where are MHC molecules located on a cell?
ANSWER:
In the nucleus
On the surface of the cell
Inside the cell cytoplasm
They are not associated with any one location on the cell
Correct
Part B
What is a feature of the small fragments presented by MHC-I proteins?
ANSWER:
They are large proteins from the host.
They are derived from bacteria.
They are small peptides, roughly 8-10 amino acids long.
They are small fragments of nucleic acids, 8-10 nucleotides in length.
Correct
Part C
Which organelle assists directly with the presentation of MHC-I antigens?
ANSWER:
The phagosome
The nucleus
The endoplasmic reticulum
The Golgi apparatus
The mitochondria
Correct
Part D
When does MHC-II loading occur?
ANSWER:
During the fusion of vesicles containing MHC-II proteins with vesicles containing digested pathogens
During viral infection
During phagocytosis of an invading pathogen
After passing through the endoplasmic reticulum

Microbiology Animation: Humoral Immunity: Antibody function
Click here to complete this activity.
Then answer the questions.
Part A
What makes agglutination by antibodies possible?
ANSWER:
Antibodies can inactivate toxins.
Antibodies can recognize bacteria as well as viruses.
Each antibody has at least two antigen-binding sites.
Antibodies are produced by plasma cells.
Correct
Part B

3/31/2019 Chapter-16_Homework-1
Plasma cells are phagocytes.
Plasma cells produce antibodies.
Plasma cells neutralize toxins.
Plasma cells activate the complement system.
Plasma cells engulf viruses.
Correct
Part C
Which of the following most accurately describes how a pathogenic bacterium might be affected by antibodies?
ANSWER:
The antibodies may coat the surface of the bacteria (opsonization), allowing for it to be tagged for phagocytosis.
The antibodies may block proteins necessary for binding the pathogen to the host.
The antibodies may stick to multiple bacteria, causing agglutination.
The antibodies may block proteins necessary for binding the pathogen to the host, may opsonize the bacterium, or may agglutinate bacteria.
Correct
MicroFlix Activity: Immunology -- B Cells and Ab Production
Can you order the steps in the clonal expansion of B cells and antibody production?
To review clonal expansion and antibody production, watch this MicroFlix animation: Adaptive Defenses: B Cells and Humoral Immunity.
Part A - B Cells and Ab Production
Order the steps in the clonal expansion of antibodies and the production of antibodies.
Hint 1. Antibodies
Antibodies are Y-shaped molecules that bind to the epitope for which they are specific.
