Antibodies, also called immunoglobulins, are proteins manufactured by the body that help fight against foreign substances called antigens. When an antigen enters the body, it stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies. (The immune system is the body's natural defense system.) The antibodies attach, or bind, themselves to the antigen and inactivate it.<span>

Substances which will glow in the dark after being exposed to sunlight are called :
mezya [45]

Answer:

D. / 4 - Phosphorescents

Explanation:

Phosphorescence occurs when light is absorved by a material, and when the material is in the dark we can see how radiation is emitted from the object, in the form of light. Phosphorescent materials are called phosphorescents.

Facts/notes:

  • This does not occur immediately
  • It occurs from a longer time than fluorescence (because electrons take longer to slow down their movement)
  • It is a photoluminescence
  • Remember that bioluminescence is not strictly related to phosphorescence. It's a type chemiluminescence.
  • For a more detalied understaning you should read about excitation, types of excitation and how this causes/affects phosphorescence.

Hope it helped,
