Answer: <u>Option C, they digest pathogens</u>
Explanation: Monocytes are involved in the process of digesting pathogens and infected cells, termed as phagocytosis.
Monocytes don't produce antibodies, only B cells can produce antibodies. So, option A and D are incorrect. Also they appear colorless when observed under the microscope. They don't appear granular, so option B is also incorrect.
<span>There are multiple types of inheritance mechanisms in humans. The well-known ones are include autosomal dominant, where only one copy of the gene is enought for the individual to express that characteristic. Another type is autosomal recessive, in which an individual must receive a copy of the gene from both parents in order for the gene to be expressed. The type concerning blood groups is codominance and it is when two different versions of a gene are expressed. Both of the alleles have a role in the appearance of the characteristic. Both the A blood group and B blood groups are dominant; however, if both alleles are present, the individual has an AB blood group.</span><span />
Tertiary Structure<span> - refers to the comprehensive 3-D structure of the polypeptide chain of a </span>protein<span>. There are several types of bonds and forces that hold a protein in its tertiary structure. </span>Hydrophobic interactions<span> greatly contribute to the folding and shaping of a protein. The "R" group of the amino acid is either hydrophobic or hydrophilic. The amino acids with hydrophilic "R" groups will seek contact with their aqueous environment, while amino acids with hydrophobic "R" groups will seek to avoid water and position themselves towards the center of the protein. </span>Hydrogen bonding<span> in the polypeptide chain and between amino acid "R" groups helps to stabilize protein structure by holding the protein in the shape established by the hydrophobic interactions. Due to protein folding, </span>ionic bonding<span> can occur between the positively and negatively charged "R" groups that come in close contact with one another. Folding can also result in covalent bonding between the "R" groups of cysteine amino acids. This type of bonding forms what is called a </span>disulfide bridge<span>. </span>Primary Structure - describes the unique order in which amino acids are linked together to form a protein. Proteins are constructed from a set of 20 amino acids. <span>All amino acids have the alpha carbon bonded to a hydrogen atom, carboxyl group, and amino group. The </span>"R" group<span> varies among </span>amino acids<span> and determines the differences between these protein monomers. The amino acid sequence of a protein is determined by the information found in the cellular</span>genetic code<span>. The order of amino acids in a polypeptide chain is unique and specific to a particular protein. Altering a single amino acid causes a </span>gene mutation, which most often results in a non-functioning protein.
<span>Secondary Structure - refers to the coiling or folding of a polypeptide chain that gives the protein its 3-D shape. There are two types of secondary structures observed in proteins. One type is the alpha (α) helix structure. This structure resembles a coiled spring and is secured by hydrogen bonding in the polypeptide chain. The second type of secondary structure in proteins is the beta (β) pleated sheet. This structure appears to be folded or pleated and is held together by hydrogen bonding between polypeptide units of the folded chain that lie adjacent to one another.
</span><span>Quaternary Structure - refers to the structure of a protein macromolecule formed by interactions between multiple polypeptide chains. Each polypeptide chain is referred to as a subunit. Proteins with quaternary structure may consist of more than one of the same type of protein subunit. They may also be composed of different subunits. Hemoglobin is an example of a protein with quaternary structure. Hemoglobin, found in the blood, is an iron-containing protein that binds oxygen molecules. It contains four subunits: two alpha subunits and two beta subunits.

Answer: option A, B, C at correct
Explanation:
All animals have collagen. Collagen is found exclusively in all animals. It is the main structures protein that is found in the connection tissues of animals.
Animals do possess embryos that undergoes gastrulation where the digestive cavity and germ layers are formed, these then develop into certain tissue systems, organs etc
Animals are heterotrophs in that they are unable to symthesize their own food but rather depend on plants which are autotrophs for their food and they also lack cell wall which differentiates them from plants. Not all animals are mobile for example, sponges.
