Question

required information
1 t - cells 2 macrophages 3 antibodies 4 antigens 5 leukocytes
match each of the options above to the items below
white blood cells that originate in bone marrow
molecules on the surface of a virus or other pathogen recognized by immune cells
immune cells that destroys any foreign cells they encounter by \eating\ them
lymphocytes that search for and destroy infected body cells
proteins that latch onto viruses and other pathogens and destroy them

Explanation:

• Leukocytes (white blood cells) originate in the bone marrow.
• Antigens are molecules on the surface of a virus or other pathogen recognized by immune cells.
• Macrophages are immune cells that destroy foreign cells by "eating" them (phagocytosis).
• T - cells (a type of lymphocyte) search for and destroy infected body cells.
• Antibodies are proteins that latch onto viruses and other pathogens and help destroy them.

Answer:

1. White blood cells that originate in bone marrow: 5. leukocytes
2. Molecules on the surface of a virus or other pathogen recognized by immune cells: 4. antigens
3. Immune cells that destroys any foreign cells they encounter by "eating" them: 2. macrophages
4. Lymphocytes that search for and destroy infected body cells: 1. t - cells
5. Proteins that latch onto viruses and other pathogens and destroy them: 3. antibodies
