An immune cell sprouts a receptor that looks like this: It would be immunocompetent for an antigen that looks like this:

The male gonads are the testes and the male gametes are sperm.  The female gonads are the ovaries and the females gametes are oocytes.

The picture below represents what process in B cell development?

On Alderaan, the aliens have a hemoglobin-like molecule in their blood that is fully saturated when bound to TEN O2 molecules. If the sO2 of the aliens’ venous blood is normally 40%, how many O2 molecules does each hemoglobin molecule give up during a single pass through their systemic circuit?

A mother has been vaccinated for varicella (chicken pox) virus.  She passes IgA antibodies for varicella to her newborn baby through her breastmilk.  Her baby now has ____________________ immunity to varicella.

Filtration occurs between which two structures?

The gallbladder stores a chemical that is necessary for proper digestion of which nutrient?

Assume the aliens on Tatooine have a respiratory system that functions just like our own.  Atmospheric pO2 on Alderaan is 170 mm Hg.  Allen Alien is being transported in a Sandspeeder to the city of Mos Eisley for medical treatment.  There, the following oxygen pressures are measured in Allen: Alveolar pO2 = 170 mm Hg Plasma pO2 = 85 mm Hg sO2 = 72% (which is the expected O2 Saturation rate for his plasma pO2 level, according to the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve) Based on the above, what is Allen’s most likely problem?

The immune system responds to _______________________ by producing ________________________.
