The answer is IgA. The immunoglobulin can occur as a monomer or dimer. The dimeric form is called secretory-IgA because it is also secreted by glands that produce saliva, tears, sweat, and in the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract. It is the most secreted Immunoglobulin.

The answer is immunoglobulin A (IgA).
Immunoglobulin A is an antibody that plays a crucial role in the immune function of mucous membranes. It has two sub classes that is the IgA1 and IgA2 and can be produced as a monomeric as well as a dimeric form. The dimeric form is the most prevalent and is also called secretory IgA. Secretory component is a proteolytic cleavage product of the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor which remains associated with the dimeric IgA in sero-mucus secretions. The secretory component protects IgA antibodies from degradation by the gastric acids and enzymes of the digestive system.

When they (green sea turtles) eat algae, which biomolecule are they getting from it? A. Carbohydrate B. nucleic acid C. protein

Degger [83]

Answer: A. Carbohydrate

When green sea turtles eat algae they are getting carbohydrates from it. 

Explanation:

Different sea turtles have different diets. Some are omnivores while some are herbivores. Green sea turtles belong to the group of herbivorous sea turtles.

The diet of hatchlings is different from that of the adults. Hatchlings are omnivorous and feed on mollusks and crustaceans. The adult sea turtles have to scrape off algae from rock surfaces and hence has a beak shaped like the teeth of a saw.

Other type of sea turtles are loggerheads and leatherbacks that mainly feed on sponges and jellyfish respectively .

These are parts of the neuron which is considered as the basic unit of nervous system. The cell responsible for receiving sensory input from the external environment. The stimulus will be transported in an electrical signal via neuronal parts. Axon transmit signal to the other neuron. Dendrites are the receiving part of the neuron. Synapse is the space between each neuron where elctrical impulse is converted into a chemical signal via neurotransmitters.
