Transcript text: QUESTION 6
The white blood cells that attack foreign invaders to the body are called $\qquad$
antibodies
telomeres
lymphocytes
immune cells
Solution
The answer is the third one: lymphocytes.
Explanation for each option:
Antibodies: These are proteins produced by the immune system to neutralize or destroy toxins and pathogens. They are not cells themselves but are produced by certain white blood cells.
Telomeres: These are the protective caps at the end of chromosomes and have no direct role in attacking foreign invaders.
Lymphocytes: These are a type of white blood cell that play a crucial role in the immune response by attacking foreign invaders such as viruses and bacteria. They include T cells, B cells, and natural killer cells.
Immune cells: This is a broad term that includes all cells involved in the immune response, including lymphocytes. However, it is not specific enough to answer the question directly.
In summary, lymphocytes are the specific type of white blood cells that attack foreign invaders in the body.
