Transportation
Molecules move across the membrane from low concentration to high concentration.
What is active transport?
This pathogen is a nucleic acid surrounded by a protein coat. They need living organisms to reproduce.
What is a virus?
This test can be used to identify if a patient has a certain antigen or antibody.
What is E.L.I.S.A?
The system in living organisms that fights of pathogens and foreign bodies.
What is the immune system?
The cell membrane only allows certain molecules to pass through.
What is select permeability?
Bulk transportation that means "to eat".
What is phagocytosis?
Viruses bind with proteins on the cell membrane signaling to let the virus into the cell.
What is receptor mediated endocytosis?
When a patient tests positive for an antigen however they show no signs of the disease.
What is asymptomatic?
Fast acting response to a pathogen.
What is innate immunity?
This was the first given name to the virus now known as HIV.
What is GRID?
Vesicles fuse with the cell membrane and release contents out of the cell.
What is exocytosis?
HIV binds to the CCR5 receptor on this type of cell, which causes the patient become immunodeficient.
What is a T-cell?
What is a control?
A long term response to a pathogen and is specific to the attack.
What is adaptive immunity?
The patient that is distinguished as the first case of a disease to a specific area or group of people.
Who is patient zero?
This type of energy is used to help move molecules across the cell membrane.
What is ATP (adenosine triphosphate)?
This mutation helps prove that people who survived the black plague passed down a genetic resistance to HIV.
What is the Delta 32 mutation?
This is used to speed up reaction time and is responsible for the color change of a positive E.L.I.S.A. test.
What is an enzyme?
Y-shaped proteins that are unique and recognize specific antigens to elicit immune responses.
What are antibodies?
COVID-19 virus has a fast acting life cycle where the virus replicates and then releases by bursting the cell membrane.
What is a lytic cycle?
A structure in the cell membrane that changes shape to carry small molecules in and out of the cell.
What is a protein pump?
This scientist held a controversial claim over the discovery that HIV is the cause of AIDS.
Who is Bob Gallo?
This step in the E.L.I.S.A. test is important because it removes any molecules not linked together from the testing well.
What is a wash?
A substance used to stimulate immunity to a particular infectious disease or pathogen, typically prepared from an inactivated or weakened form of the causative agent or from its products.
What is a vaccine?
Receptors on cells found all over the body (so COVID-19 viruses can infect tons of different cells).
What are ACE2 Receptors?
