Biology: A Level AQA Paper 1

T killer cells - Attack and Kill Host-Body Cells that Display Foreign Antigens

T helper cells - Releases Cytokines that stimulates B cells to develop and stimulate
phagocytosis by the phagocytes

T memory cells - Provide long term immunity

Plasma Cells - Manufacture antibodies.and release antibodies

B memory cells - cells that remain in the blood for a long time, providing long-term
immunity

Neutrophils - WBC that engulfs foreign matter and traps it in a phagosome- lysosome
digests the foreign matter

Basiphils - Contains anticoagulant heparin that prevents blood from clotting too quickly

Eosinophils - Disease fighting WBC

Macrophage - Large white blood cell that removes bacteria, foreign particles, and dead
cells

monocyte - a leukocyte that performs phagocytosis to fight infection

pathogen - a microorganism that causes disease

vector - an organism that carries a pathogen from one host to another

transmission - passing a pathogen from an infected individual to an unifected individual

primary defences - those that prevent pathogens entering the body

neutrophil - a type of white blood cell that engulfs foreign matter and traps it in a large
vacuole (phagosome). which fuses with lysosomes to digest the foreign matter.

cytokines - hormone like molecules used in cell signalling to stimulate the immune
response

opsonins - proteins that bind to the antigen on a pathogen and then allow phagocytes to
bind

,secondary defences - defences which attack pathogens that have entered the body

antibodies - specific proteins released by plasma cells that can. attach to pathogenic
antigens.

clonal expansion - an increase in the number of cells by mitotic cell division

interleukins - signalling molecules that are used to comunicate between different white
blood cells

T regulator cells - cells that are involved with inhibiting or ending the immune response

primary immune response - the initial response caused by first infection

secondary immune response - a more rapid and vigorous response caused by a second
or subsequent infection by the same pathogen

agglutinins - antibodies that cause pathogens to stick together

anti-toxins - antibodies that render toxins harmless

phagocyte - a white blood cell that destroys pathogens by engulfing them and breaking
them down

lymphocyte - A type of white blood cell that makes antibodies to fight off infections

Pyrimidine - Cytosine and Thymine

Purines - Adenine and Guanine

Nucleotide - the monomer of nucleic acids made up of a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate
group, and a nitrogenous base

semi-conservative replication - in each new DNA double helix, one strand is from the
original molecule, and one strand is new

Transcription - The synthesis of RNA on a DNA template.

Translation - Process by which mRNA is decoded and a protein is produced

pentose sugar - a five-carbon sugar molecule found in nucleic acids

phosphodiester bond - covalent bond connecting nucleotides together

complementary base pairing - In DNA, T pairs with A; G pairs with C;
RNA, U pairs with A and G pairs with C

, mRNA (messenger RNA) - a single-stranded RNA molecule that encodes the
information to make a protein

tRNA (transfer RNA) - The molecule that carries the amino-acid to the Ribosome. It also
has the Anti-Codon.

amine group - the nitrogen-containing portion of an amino acid - NH2

carboxyl group - consists of a carbon double-bonded to both an oxygen and a hydroxyl
group

R group - Variable group - with 20 different natural variables

peptide bond - bond between amino acids

Dipeptide - Two amino acids bonded together

Polypeptide - A chain of amino acids

covalent bond - a bond formed when atoms share one or more pairs of electrons

Codons - The three-base sequence of nucleotides in mRNA

Anti-codon - group of three bases on a tRNA molecule that is complementary to a
mRNA codon

ionic bonds - the electrostatic attraction that binds oppositely charged ions together

disulfide bridges - a covalent bond formed between the sulphurs of cysteine monomers

primary structure - sequence of amino acids

secondary structure - alpha helix or beta pleated sheets, stabilised by hydrogen bonds

tertiary structure - the overall, three-dimensional shape of a polypeptide due to bonds
and interactions

quaternary structure - Results from two or more polypeptide chains.

insertion - A mutation involving the addition of one or more nucleotide pairs to a gene.

deletion - a mutational loss of one or more nucleotide pairs from a gene

substitution - a mutation resulting in the exchanging of bases
