sabaedra Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 That's right, the answer is C: 2.4 million. Your body is constantly replacing old blood cells with new ones at the rate of about 2.4 million per second. By the time you finish reading this sentence 30 million of your cells will have died and been replaced by others. You can answer here or try the interactive app on facebook.Thank you for the interest. A new card has been revealed!

silencer_pl Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 That depends how you look into it. All the fighting is done by the cells. The proteins are made from cells and the antibodies are white blood cells. So everything goes down to cells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Antibodies are proteins, not cells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silencer_pl Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Y-shape protein produced by plasma cells Antibodies are secreted by a type of white blood cells called a plasma cell White blood cells (WBCs), also called leukocytes or leucocytes, are the cells of the immune system So like I said - everything narrows to cells.

sabaedra Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 Only one day left until Gelluloid Pro becomes available on the iOS App store! Yes, tissues and organs are made from cells, but the answer which fitted the question best is C: The immune system is the body's natural defense system that helps fight infections. It is made up of antibodies, white blood cells, and other chemicals and proteins that attack and destroy substances such as bacteria and viruses. And now, the final question! What happens after a virus enters a cell?A) it inserts itself into the host DNAB) it dividesC) it begins making protein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabaedra Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 Dear friends, the quiz has come to an end! We’ve arrived at our final destination, the launch of Gelluloid Pro on the iOS App Store! You can now get the game from here: https://itunes.apple...app/id915702014 The answer to the last question is: A) it inserts itself into the host DNA. A bacterial virus infects the cell by attaching fibers of its protein tail to a specific receptor site on the bacterial cell wall and then injecting the nucleic acid into the host, leaving the empty capsid outside. Gelluloid Pro is a fun, engaging, brain melting, action strategy game for iOS. What is it about? It's a challenge!A challenge to use your best tactics and strategy skills to conquer your opponent.A challenge to squeeze your brain while moving your fingers feverishly across the screen to solve puzzles or to defend yourself against incoming viruses. It's an addictive combination between the harvest, strategy and defense genres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
