Answer: B. antigens

Explanation:

The antigens are the protein molecules which are found on the surface of the pathogens. They are responsible for initiating the immune response in the host body. As the result of invasion of the body by the foreign antigens the body produces specialized proteins which are called as antibodies to fight against the disease causing pathogens.

On the basis of the above description, proteins that tag pathogens for destruction by the immune cells are called as antigens.

Reika [66]

Answer: True.

Spleen framework is created by reticular fibres from reticular cells.

Explanation:

Spleen is an organ found mostly in vertebrates. It develop from mesenchymal cells within the dorsal of mesogastrium near the greater curvature stomach. The mesencymal cells then divide and differentied to form framework of connective tissues of spleen. The framework of spleen is created by reticular fibres of the reticular cells. Reticular fibres are fibres in the connective tissue that is composed of type iii collagen secreted by reticular cells. Spleen function in filtering of blood. It plays a major role in red blood cells and immune system.

What is responsible for the cohesive property of water

How does the basic structure of a steroid differ from other macromolecules such as carbohydrates?
oksian1 [2.3K]
The basic structure of a steroid differ from other macromolecules such as carbohydrates by having a four ring structure whereas a carbohydrate do not have. A steroid is a group of organic substances which has four rings that are arranged in a certain configuration. Examples are testosterone, estradiol and lipid cholesterol. It will always have seventeen carbon atoms in its structure. Carbohydrates, on the other hand, are a group of organic substances that consist carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms typically in a 2:1 ratio of the hydrogen and oxygen atoms. So, it would have an empirical formula of Cx(H2O)y.
