Across
  1. 2. - A group of proteins that form membrane attack complexes.
  2. 6. - The protective protein coat of a virus.
  3. 7. - Immunoglobulin that crosses the placenta to provide passive immunity to the fetus.
  4. 10. - Chemicals that inhibit bacterial growth or kill bacteria.
  5. 11. MARROW - The site in the lymphatic system where B cells mature.
  6. 13. - Small circular DNA in bacteria that carries extra genes.
  7. 17. - Pathogens that live and multiply inside host cells.
  8. 18. - Layer in bacteria that prevents dehydration and protects against phagocytosis.
  9. 19. - The spiral-shaped bacteria.
  10. 20. - The process of transferring genes between bacteria through a pilus.
  11. 21. - White blood cells that release histamines during allergic reactions.
  12. 23. - A non-cellular infectious agent consisting only of protein.
Down
  1. 1. - The ability of microbes to resist the effects of antibiotics.
  2. 3. PHASE - The stage in bacterial growth where cells are metabolically active but not dividing.
  3. 4. - A dormant, tough, and non-reproductive structure formed by some bacteria.
  4. 5. - The powerhouse of eukaryotic cells.
  5. 8. - Microorganisms that can survive in extreme environmental conditions.
  6. 9. FISSION - Process by which bacteria replicate by dividing into two identical cells.
  7. 12. - Organ that produces lymphocytes and filters blood.
  8. 14. - The protein fragments displayed on the surface of cells by MHC molecules.
  9. 15. IMMUNITY - Type of immunity achieved after recovering from a disease.
  10. 16. - Long whip-like structure that helps bacteria move.
  11. 17. - Immunoglobulin associated with allergic reactions.
  12. 22. - A process in which antibodies mark pathogens for destruction.
