a long-lived cell of the immune system that has previously encountered a specific antigen and that upon re-exposure produces large amounts of antibody.
A. Memory cell
B. Metabolism
C. Mucous membranes
a chemical that kills or inhibits growth of bacteria by deregulation of metabolic pathways.
A. Antibiotic
