Infection and Immunity
This occurs when pathogens enter tissues and multiply.
An infection
All blood cells are produced here in adults.
Bone marrow
Loss of electrons in a redox reaction is called this.
Oxidation
This enzyme unwinds and separates DNA strands during replication.
Helicase
These organ system allows the greatest number of pathogens to enter the body.
Respiratory and digestive systems
These are found on the skin, in the mouth, and in the large intestine.
Resident microbiota
T-lymphocytes mature in this organ.
Thymus
This pathway can occur in the absence of oxygen and begins glucose breakdown.
Glycolysis
Transcription uses this template to make this product.
DNA to make RNA
If R₀ is greater than 1, this will occur.
Disease spread (each person infects more than one other)
This type of pathogen causes disease primarily in immunocompromised individuals.
An opportunistic pathogen
These Y-shaped proteins bind specific antigens.
Antibodies
This process produces the largest net yield of ATP per glucose molecule.
Aerobic respiration
This stabilizes DNA structure along with hydrogen bonds.
Phosphate backbone
This term refers to the total number of existing cases of a disease in a population.
Prevalence
This is the first process performed by neutrophils and macrophages to destroy microbes.
Phagocytosis
Activated B cells that secrete antibodies are called these.
Plasma cells
This type of enzyme inhibition occurs when an inhibitor binds to a site other than the active site, changing enzyme shape.
Noncompetitive inhibition
A group of three nucleotides that codes for an amino acid.
A codon
This occurs when a significant portion of a population becomes immune, limiting spread.
Herd immunity
These five signs indicate inflammation.
Redness, heat, swelling, pain, and immobility
This type of immunity has memory and responds faster upon second exposure.
Adaptive immunity
ATP releases energy when it is this.
Cleaved
Plasmids are transferred from this cell type to this cell type during conjugation (HINT: fertility factor).
F+ to F–
An infection that spreads through blood or lymph and affects multiple organs is called this.
Systemic infection
