What is the medical term for a specific protein evoked by an antigen?

1 answer:

5 0

An antigen triggers a response from the immune system and an antibody is produced. All antibodies are immunoglobulins, therefore, the correct answer is immunoglobulin. More specifically, an immunoglobulin is a protein produced by plasma cells to fight and neutralize pathogens. To do so, the immunoglobulin has a specific region which is complementary to a specific region of the antigen. Immunoglobulin's mechanism of action is to bind to the pathogen and either block its action or trigger a response of other cells of the immune system.

N76 [4]

Answer:

Without the model, we can't help you. But a healthy coral reef would most likely have some kind of productive ecosystem.

Explanation:

I would assume the the diagram includes a reference to fish, algae or other plant-like life, and the coral itself. The coral polyps are in a symbiotic relationship with algae; the algae provide the polyps with energy via photosynthesis and the polyps build "homes" for the algae and other species living in the reef (the "home" for algae is literally the coral reef).

Other species like animal life use the reef as a place of protection against larger predators. Fish frequent reefs since many types of aquatic predators dislike shallow waters and coral reefs provide plenty of nooks and crannies to hide inside.
