After first exposure to an antigen, about how long does it take for antibodies to reach a detectable level? 2. What could explain the significant increase in antibodies to non-Lyme disease antigens (blue line)?

3. Lyme disease patients who are treated with antibiotics quickly usually do much better than those who are treated later. Why do you think this is the case?

4. Why doesn’t the Antibodies in Lyme Disease Antigens (orange line) decrease after the first immune response, compared to non-Lyme Disease Antigens (blue line)?

5. Professor Dr. Utpal Pal studied the Borrelia burgdorferi bacterium at the University of Maryland. Dr. Pal found that Lyme disease is caused by your immune system. When the body is infected with Lyme disease, it overreacts causing inflammation in the joints. Although antibiotic resistance has not been observed for B. burgdorferi, create an argument defending the control of antibiotic use to the public. Analyze the data in the graph below by answering the following questions. Be sure to use complete sentences.

The accompanying figure shows the percent of selected dna sequences that match between a chimpanzee and other primates. these data support the hypothesis that the figure shows the percentage of selected d n a sequences that match between the chimpanzee and other primates. the human has an almost 98 percent match, the gorilla has an almost 97 percent match, the orangutan has a 96 percent match, the gibbon has an almost 95 percent match, and the old world monkey has an almost 92 percent match. the accompanying figure shows the percent of selected dna sequences that match between a chimpanzee and other primates. these data support the hypothesis that the figure shows the percentage of selected d n a sequences that match between the chimpanzee and other primates. the human has an almost 98 percent match, the gorilla has an almost 97 percent match, the orangutan has a 96 percent match, the gibbon has an almost 95 percent match, and the old world monkey has an almost 92 percent match. chimpanzees and gibbons are the most closely related the chimpanzee's closest surviving relative is humans orangutans are the primates least closely related to chimpanzees old world monkeys and gibbons are the most closely related
