Hello there buddy,

<span>RNA is able to hydrogen bond with water (otherwise it wouldn't be soluble), but since water is small and prefers to be able to move around freely, these hydrogen bonds are quite unstable. For that reason, RNA forms much more stable bonds with larger, compatible molecules. Among those, different RNA molecules may bind to DNA or proteins to serve some function, while they can also bind complementary strands of RNA.

I hope this helps you!

Which molecules of the adaptive defense system provide humoral immunity by circulating freely in the blood and lymph, where they

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Adaptive immune defense system consists of lymphocytes like B-lymphocytes and T- lymphocytes. B-lymphocytes provides humoral immunity while T- lymphocytes provide cell-mediated immunity to the body.

99% of lymphocytes circulate freely in the blood and lymph. B lymphocytes differentiate into plasma B cells and B memory cells when interact with antigen presented by T helper cells.

Then plasma cells secrete antibodies in the circulation which binds to extracellular antigens through antigen-binding site. Then the bounded antigen is recognized by receptors present on phagocytic cells. This receptor binds the Fc region of antigen bounded antibody and destroy the antigen by phagocytosis.
