Ans.

Opsonization is defined as an immune reaction that includes ingestion and elimination of a pathogens by phagocytes, with the help of antibodies and complement proteins.

The antibodies involve in opsonization are mainly IgG (gamma immunoglobulins). The IgG binds with pathogen via its Fab (antigen-binding fragment) domain and opsonizes it. The antibody-pathogen complex then binds with an immune cell via Fc (fragment of crystallization) domain of IgG antibody that triggers secretion of lytic proteins from immune cell to kill the pathogen.

Thus, 'opsonization is a representative of IgG antibody function.'

sweet-ann [11.9K]
<span>A cell can only grow so large in size because its ability to exchange materials is affected by a growing surface-to-volume ratio. Nature designed cells to be small in size because of the network of membranes passing through it. If cells grow any bigger, membranes in it will not be able to pass through its different parts and perform their purpose.


A cell is a network composed of many organelles (e.g. mitochondria, nucleus), that communicate and work together to provide bodily functions. The cell is small so that communication between organelles will be faster and much easier. When cells are small they can be easily repaired when damaged and replicated when needed.</span>
