A person whose red blood cells agglutinate with anti-B antibodies BUT NOT anti-A antibodies is type AB.

<h3>What is an agglutinate?</h3>

Agglutination is the process by which specific antibodies to antigenic components on the surface of red blood cells or inert particles (direct agglutination) or to antigenic components adsorbed or chemically attached to red blood cells or inert particles produce clumps of cells or inert particles (passive hemagglutination and passive agglutination, respectively).

When antibodies on one RBC attach to the antigen on another RBC, a process known as agglutination, globular to amorphous, grape-like aggregates of RBCs are formed. RBC agglutination supports immune-mediated hemolytic anemia when it is present (IMHA). The majority of IMHA instances do not exhibit agglutination, but when it does, immunoglobulin M (IgM) is the most frequently implicated because of its pentavalent nature. Agglutination, however, might be brought on by a very thick IgG antibody coating of the RBC membranes. Agglutination is typically regarded as IMHA's diagnostic sign.

You may be referring to the cytoplasm here. That is the "filling" within the cell. But if you are looking for specific transport of proteins, the ER folds proteins and then transport vesicles move them to the Golgi.

Why are flowering plants more efficient at pollinating than gymnosperms?

natima [27]

Bees can get in and out, carrying pollen with them from flower to flower pollinating as they go. On the the other hand, Gymnosperms have to let their seeds somehow travel away and plant itself, or with the help of nature, they plant themselfs
But it is easier for those flowering plants to pollinate.

What two organs are involved in maintaining water and ion balance in a bony fish

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

The two organs that is responsible for ion exchange in bony fishes are gills and kidneys. They maintain the ion balance in the body of bony fishes.

The kidneys in the fishes are comparatively very small and they excrete a very small amount of urine to balance the ion in the body of the fishes.

The gills maintains the constant flow of water in the body of the fishes to compensate the ions in the body of the fishes in water, called as osmoregulation.
