Taaaa76 I don't think need to know it to that level; if we get a short answer question abt a specific adaptive immune response and its clear that it has invaded that cells, then u would talk about cell mediated by saying t helper cell releases a naive t cell then tallk about clonal expansion into cyotoxic and memory t cells and what they both do.
if its clear in the stem question that its extracellular then you can just say helper t cell selects a naive b cell which clonally expands into plasma and memory b cells and explain what they do.
so basically if you were to say in a short answer question that both are activated, tehn you would have to explain all the subsequent steps after activation of BOTH of them- which would probably take a while to write- but if you feel like you'll have enough time to write it then it should be fine and you probably won't get marks off.
I did a prac exam recently and i wasnt sure whether the pathogen was intra or extra cellular so i talked abt both cell mediated and humoral and the marking scheme showed it was fine but I didnt actually need to write both.
