Question
All of the following are true of antibodies EXCEPT:
Each individual antibody molecule is specific for more than one type of antigen
They are made of proteins
They are also called immunoglobulins
They are produced in response to antigens
They are produced by plasma cells
Transcribed Image Text:All of the following are true of antibodies EXCEPT: Each individual antibody molecule is specific for more than one type of antigen They are made of proteins They are also called immunoglobulins They are produced in response to antigens They are produced by plasma cells
All of the following are true statements EXCEPT:
The etiologic agents of human microbial diseases include members of various
different groups of microbes; for example bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and viruses
Some diseases are caused by bacteria in localized infections producing exotoxins
that travel through the blood to cause systemic (generalized) effects
Some microbial diseases are caused by invasion and destruction of tissues at the
site of an infection, sometimes extending into surrounding tissues or spreading to
distant sites in the body
Infectious diseases represent a battle between the host's nonspecific and specific
immune defenses and the microbe's ability to penetrate and avoid those defenses
Infectious diseases of humans are always caused by microbes originating from
outside the body; i.e., acquired/transmitted from other people, animals, or
environmental sources
