Explain the antigen-antibody response as it relates to blood groups

Biology
1 answer:
Arisa [49]3 years ago
4 0
Antigens are surface proteins found on all cells including blood cells. In the case of blood groups, an individual's blood type reflects the presence or absence of specific antigens. An antigen-antibody response is initiated if the individual receives a transfusion of blood containing antigens that it identifies as being "foreign." Antibodies found in a person's blood bind to the foreign antigen, causing agglutination, or clumping. The antigen-antibody complexes clog the small blood vessels, and the foreign RBCs are lysed, releasing hemoglobin into the bloodstream. The most serious complication of a transfusion reaction is kidney failure due to blockage of the kidney tubules by the hemoglobin molecules.

What does the graph tell us about the humidity in any given location on Earth?
Veseljchak [2.6K]
The best answer would be, 'The warmer the air temperature, the greater the humidity.'

The second choice is true, but the graph is representing humidity, not precipitation. That is off-topic.

C could also be true, but the chart didn't refer to any body of water.

I hope this helped you!

How did the Mafia gain the interest and scrutiny of the public?
mihalych1998 [28]

Mafia gain the interest and scrutiny of the public through their unique and fearful actions.

Mafia gain the interest and scrutiny of the public by threatening people in the society as well as killing some of them. The main aim of Mafia is to earn money so they perform many actions in order to gain money from the public such as extortion, kidnapping etc.

The person who gives money to Mafia is safe but that person who refuses to pay money to Mafia will gain the punishment of death so we can say that in this way Mafia gain the interest of the public.
