11. The cell responsible for cell-mediated immunity is a T lymphocyte. To determine this, you need to have some knowledge of the different types of immune cells.
12. Antibodies are made by B lymphocytes. This information can be obtained by understanding the role of B lymphocytes in the immune system.
13. Helper T lymphocytes produce chemicals that cause other parts of the immune system to function. To know this, you should be familiar with the different functions of immune cells.
14. Memory cells remain after recovering from an infection and provide immunity. This information can be acquired by understanding the role of memory cells in the immune system.
15. Helper T lymphocytes are the immune system cells that are hosts for HIV. To know this, you need to have knowledge of the cells targeted by HIV.
16. Immunity after recovering from a pathogen infection is an example of natural active immunity. This can be determined by understanding the different types of immunity.
17. The vaccination causes a primary immune response and memory cells are retained for life, leading to active immunity. To understand this, you need to know how vaccinations work.
18. All of the choices provided contribute to bacteria developing resistance to antibiotics. This can be gathered by understanding the factors that contribute to antibiotic resistance.
