Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Food and Drug Administration requires that new drugs and complex medical devices be proved safe before they are put into a consumer market. Food and Drug Administration establishes performance standards for products such as x-ray machines, mammography equipment, and microwave ovens.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Humoral immunity refers to destruction of antigens by antibodies. Immunity can be inborn or acquired. Both naturally and artificially acquired immunity can be actively or passively acquired. Cell-mediated immunity refers to destruction of antigens by T cells. Exposure to disease-causing organisms over one's lifetime stimulates the process of acquired immunity. Humoral or antibody-mediated immunity protects the body against circulating disease-producing antigens and bacteria.
