At the heart of the immune response is the ability to distinguish between 'self' and 'non-self.'
Every cell in your body carries the same set of distinctive surface proteins that distinguish you as 'self.' Normally your immune cells do not attack your own body tissues, which all carry the same pattern of self-markers.
This set of unique markers on human cells is called the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). There are two classes: MHC Class I proteins, which are on all cells, and MHC Class II proteins, which are only on certain specialized cells.

What is the function of the cell wall for both plant animal cells?
The function of the cell wall is to keep cellular material inside and other material outside.
What is the purpose of a carbohydrate chain?
The chain is attached with a marker protein, and together the chain and marker protein help identify the cell to other nearby cells.
Do all cells have a copy of the hereditary material?
Yes, all cells have a copy of the genetic material found in the other cells (red blood cells are an exception, as they have no nucleus).
How do white blood cells bring in germs cells?
Some white cells call macrophages will eat germs. Some others will tag germs with a marker that tells the other cells that they need to get rid of them.
What acts as a signal or marker to help cells recognize each other?
Free balling it here but I think the answer is PROTEINS
How is genetic material organize in eukaryotic cells?
The genetic material of eukaryotic cells is organized in chromosomes.The genetic material of a cell contains information needed for the cells' growth and other activities. When a cell divides into 2 new cells, each new cell receives a full set of genetic material. The genetic material in cells is contained in DNA molecules. Source: "Cells and Heredity" (Biology book)
Using the cell as a factory analogy describe the role of the Golgi apparatus in cells?
sort and package proteins and other material from the endoplasmic reticulum for storage in the cell or secretion outside the cell
What type of molecule is used as a marker to help similar cell recognize each other?
A carbohydrate is used to help mark cells. This carbohydrate sequence is unique for those cells.
What do cells take and release?
They inject it from pores and outside cells
Which of the following is correct about cells?
they are found in plants and animals they contain genetic material they are the basic unit of life
Do plant and animals cells have a vacuole?
Plant cells have vacuoles that can become large when filled with water and other waste or stored material. Animal cells do not contain vacuoles.
What is the rigid layer of nonliving material that surrounds the cells of a plant and other organisms called?
It is the cell wall duhh!!!The rigid layer of nonliving material that surrounds the cells of plants and other organisms is called the __________. The answer is the cell wall. I have the same worksheet! ;)The rigid layer of nonliving material that surrounds the cells of plants and other organisms is called the __________. The answer is the Cell Membrane.
