Antigens<span> are foreign particles, usually proteins, which are capable of generating an immune response in the body, a property known as immunogenicity. This immune response consists of specific </span>antibodies<span> which are generated by plasma cells as a result of exposure to a specific epitope presented by the </span>antigen<span>.</span>

Abe knew from his anatomy class that there are three different kinds of muscle tissue in the body. He knew lifting weights would
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Three different kinds of muscles are -:

  1. <u>SKELETAL MUSCELES </u>
  2. <u>CARDIAC MUSCLES </u>
  3. <u>SMOOTH MUSCLES</u>

Explanation:

  1. <u>SKELETAL MUSCLES -: </u>There are long, cylindrical, and striated skeletal muscle cells. They are multi-nucleated, which means they have more than one nucleus. This is because from the fusion of embryonic myoblasts, they are created. Each nucleus controls the sarcoplasm's metabolic demands around it. There are high energy requirements for skeletal muscle cells, because they contain several mitochondria in order to generate adequate ATP. <u>Examples of skeletal muscles: arms and legs- </u>T<u>he muscles that belong to the arms and legs feature in pairs. Abdomen and Back- These muscles are connected to the various sets of skeletal muscles that run across the torso.</u>
  2. <u>CARDIAC MUSCLES -</u>: Cardiomyocytes have a short and narrow outline and are fairly rectangular. They are about 0.02 mm wide and 0.1 mm (millimetres) long, respectively. There are many sarcosomes in cardiomyocytes, which provide the required energy for contraction. Cardiomyocytes usually contain a single nucleus, unlike skeletal muscle cells. Cardiomyocytes, although they contain more sarcosomes, normally contain the same cell organelles as skeletal muscle cells.<u> example - cardiac muscle is present in heart. </u>
  3. <u>SMOOTH MUSCLES -:</u> Smooth muscle cells have a single central nucleus and are spindle-shaped. They range in length from 10 to 600 μm (micrometers), and are the tiniest type of muscle cell. In the expansion of organs like the kidneys , lungs, and vagina, they are elastic and therefore essential. As in cardiac and skeletal muscle, the myofibrils of smooth muscle cells are not aligned, meaning they are not striated, hence the term smooth. <u>example of smooth muscles -: Walls of blood vessels ,  Walls of stomach , Ureters ,  Intestines ,  In the aorta (tunica media layer),  Iris of the eye. ,Prostate  and  Gastrointestinal Tract.</u>

The main function of this macromolecule include muscle development, catalyst activity and defense against disease
Liula [17]

The correct answer is protein.

Proteins are macromolecules composed of amino acids with the wide range of structures. Protein functions are diverse:  

• structural proteins-maintaining the cell shape, (for example, proteins are structural elements in connective tissues like cartilage and bone in vertebrates),  

• Enzymes - catalyze the biochemical reactions in cells-.

•  Monitors- changing their activity in response to metabolic signals

• Part of the extracellular matrix or involved in intercellular communication…

Look at the DNA segment below. GATCGT Which of the segments below would be complementary to the segment above during DNA replica
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

CTAGCA

Explanation:

During DNA replication, the DNA double helix is unwound by DNA helices. Each original strand is then used as a template,  by the DNA polymerase, to synthesize a new strand. Base pairing rules apply in the synthesis. Cytosine pairs with Guanine while Adenine pairs with Thiamine.
