The Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) is a set of proteins expressed on the surface of antigen presenting cells that recogn

ize and bind to pieces of antigens so that they can be presented to the appropriate T cell. Not only is the expression of these proteins controlled by more than one gene (polygenic), but individuals with different alleles for MHC proteins are heterozygous for that gene. What advantage does the MHC proteins being polygenic and codominant offer to the individual? A) There will be a lower level of immune rejection for this individual should they receive a blood or organ transplant. B) There will be an increased resistance to HIV infection, as the T cells will be less likely to be invaded by the virus. C) There is a larger variety of MHC proteins that can be expressed on the cell surfaces of their immune cells, providing a wider opportunity to recognize and attack pathogens. Eliminate D) There is an increased opportunity for anaphylaxis, as presenting a wider variety of MHC proteins on the cell surfaces of immune cells will result in a body-wide response to antigens.

What is a substance that supplies energy cushions vital organs and is a solid at room temperature?
Andrew [12]
I believe lipids is what you are going for. A lipid is a macromolecule (monomer of fatty acids) that cushions organs, stores energy, and a version of it is solid at room temperature. The version of it that is solid at room temperature is called a saturated fat. Saturated fat may also be a correct answer.

What happens when two solutions separated by a selectively permeable membrane reach osmotic equilibrium? what happens when two s
liubo4ka [24]
The answer should be water molecules still move between two solution, but no net movement.
Osmotic equilibrium means where two solution has reached the same amount of water potential because of the osmosis before, they have the same solute concentration now.
Always remember that water molecules still move in all solutions, but just that since there's no more concentration difference, the water molecules that move from right to left and left to right is equal. Therefore there's no net movement.
