Question
- A. Explain how a monoclonal antibody can deliver a radioactive substance, toxic drug or growth-inhibiting chemical to...
- B. A statement about another biology topic rather than Monoclonal antibodies (biology only) (HT only)
- C. A revision technique rather than the scientific idea being tested
- D. A reversed cause-and-effect version of the objective
Answer
Explain how a monoclonal antibody can deliver a radioactive substance, toxic drug or growth-inhibiting chemical to... is the best answer for this Monoclonal antibodies (biology only) (HT only) objective.
Explanation
Explain how a monoclonal antibody can deliver a radioactive substance, toxic drug or growth-inhibiting chemical to... is supported by the approved learning objective: "Explain how a monoclonal antibody can deliver a radioactive substance, toxic drug or growth-inhibiting chemical to cancer cells". It stays within Monoclonal antibodies (biology only) (HT only), uses the key idea "[object Object]", and avoids distractors that either switch topic, describe a study method, or reverse the biology relationship.
Common mistake
Misunderstanding Delivery Mechanism
Students often confuse how monoclonal antibodies deliver substances to cancer cells, thinking they directly kill the cells rather than targeting them for treatment.
Clarify that monoclonal antibodies bind specifically to cancer cell antigens, allowing for the delivery of a radioactive substance, toxic drug, or growth-inhibiting chemical directly to the cancer cells, which then disrupts their function.
