  • Recognition that a vaccination is the
    injection of an antigen into the system
    (human body). (1 ⁄ 2 point)

  • Description of how the reception of an
    antigen by a B cell causes B-cell differen-
    tiation into memory and plasma cells.
    (1 ⁄ 2 point)

  • Mentioning that at the time of the vacci-
    nation, the plasma cells will produce anti-
    bodies to wipe out the small dose of
    antigen presented during the vaccination,
    and that the memory cells will remember
    the antigen and be ready to react later if
    necessary. (1 point)

  • Definition of a secondary immune
    response. Memory cells are stored instruc-
    tions on how to handle a particular
    invader. When the invader returns to the
    body, the memory cells recognize it and
    produce antibodies in rapid fashion.
    (1 point)

  • Mentioning that the secondary immune
    response is faster and more efficient
    than the primary immune response.
    (1 ⁄ 2 point)

  • Mentioning that the principle of a success-
    ful vaccination rests on the belief that the
    secondary immune response will succeed
    and wipe out the sickness if the individual
    is exposed in the future. (1 ⁄ 2 point)



  1. Plant laboratory question
    A. (maximum 5 points)



  • Mentioning that the products of the light
    reactions of photosynthesis are ATP,
    NADPH, and oxygen. (1 ⁄ 2 point)

  • Mentioning that in this experiment, the
    NADP+would be replaced by a com-
    pound known as DPIP. (1 ⁄ 2 point)

  • Mentioning that normally this com-
    pound DPIP has a nice blue color, but
    when reduced, it changes to a colorless
    solution. (1 ⁄ 2 point)

  • Mentioning that a machine called a
    spectrophotometerwill be used to measure
    the amount of light that can pass through
    various samples. (1 ⁄ 2 point)

  • Description of the experiment.
    a. Set aside three beakers—one with
    boiled chloroplasts, two with unboiled
    chloroplasts. (1 point)
    b. Take initial reading on spectropho-
    tometer to determine how much light
    passes through the unboiled chloro-
    plasts before the experiment begins.
    (1 ⁄ 2 point)
    c. Take one sample (unboiled chloro-
    plasts) and measure how much photo-
    synthesis occurs while it sits in a dark
    environment. After a certain amount
    of time, use the spectrophotometer to
    measure how much light can pass
    through the solution. (1 point)
    d. Take a second sample (unboiled
    chloroplasts) and measure how much
    photosynthesis occurs when it is
    exposed to light. After a certain amount
    of time, use the spectrophotometer to
    measure how much light can pass
    through the solution. (1 point)

  • Mentioning that they would now com-
    pare the two samples to see the effect of
    light on photosynthesis. (1 point)

  • Take a third sample (boiled chloroplasts)
    and expose it to light, and after a certain
    period of time, measure how much light
    can pass through the solution. (1 point)

  • Mentioning that they would now com-
    pare the third sample and the second
    sample to see the effect of the presence or
    absence of chloroplasts on photosynthesis.
    (1 point)
    B. (maximum 5 points)

  • Definition of transpiration as the evapo-
    rative water loss from plants. (1 point)

  • Mentioning that they will use a potome-
    ter to measure the amount of water loss
    from plants. (1 point)

  • Mentioning that the surface area of a leaf
    is important to the measurement of tran-
    spiration rate in an experiment of this
    nature. (1 ⁄ 2 point)
