Which antibody does the body release when it identifies a bacterium or virus?

Chemistry

Lilit [14]3 years ago

Answer:

The first immunoglobulin to arrive is M, IgM

Explanation:

Immunoglobulins are the molecules that intervene in defense against microorganisms, foreign cells and against substances that can cause allergies. They are also known as antibodies. IgM is specific and is the first antibody that appears in primary infections, so its value and quantity is very important to diagnose an infection.

Explanation:

Immunoglobulin M is the first antibody produced on initial exposure to an antigen. It is also known as IgM.

It occurs as a primary response to the antigens against a particular baterium or virus. It is pentavalent in nature and has ten binding sites for antigens.

Therefore, it is concluded that when the body identifies a bacterium or a virus, it releases the antibody IgM.

What is the ph of a buffer consisting of 0.200 m hc2h3o2 and 0.200 m kc2h3o2? the k a for hc2h3o2 is 1.8×10−5. view available hi
AURORKA [14]
PH = pKa + log \frac{[base]}{[Acid]}
Acid  is HC₂H₃O₂ and conjugate base is KC₂H₃O₂,
pKa = - log Ka = - log (1.8 x 10⁻⁵) = 4.74
so pH = 4.74 + log (0.2/0.2) = 4.74
This is called maximum buffer capacity (when acid conc. and base conc. are equal) the pH = pKa in this case

What does weight measure?
Pavel [41]

The unit of measurement for weight is that of force, which in the International System of Units (SI) is the newton. For example, an object with a mass of one kilogram has a weight of about 9.8 newtons on the surface of the Earth, and about one-sixth as much on the Moon.

Copper atoms are used to produce pennies. The copper atoms in pennies share many electrons. Pennies contain
kaheart [24]

Answer:

Metallic bonds

Explanation:

Metallic bonds joins atoms of metals and atoms of alloys together. The copper used in making pennies is a metallic substance so it contains metallic bonds.

  • The formation of this bond type is predicated on the large atomic radius, low ionization energy and large number of electrons in the valence shell.
  • The bond is an attraction between the positive nuclei of all closely packed atoms in the lattice and the electron cloud.
  • The electron cloud is jointly formed by all the atoms by losing their outermost shell electrons.

This way the bond in pennies are metallic in nature.

Consider the balanced chemical reaction when phosphorus and iodine react to produce phosphorus triodide: 2 P(s) + 3 I2(g) → 2 PI
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Percent yield of PI3 = 95.4%

Explanation:

This is the reaction:

2P (s) + 3I2 (g) > 2PI3 (g)

Let's determine the moles of iodine that has reacted.

58.6 g / 253.8 g/mol = 0.231 mol

Ratio is 3:2. Let's make a rule of three to state the moles produced at 100 % yield reaction.

3 moles of I2 react to make 2 moles of PI3

0.231 moles of I2 would make (0.231 .2) / 3 = 0.154 moles of PI3

As we have produced 0.147 moles let's determine the percent yield.

(Yield produced / Theoretical yield) . 100 > (0.147 / 0.154) . 100 = 95.4%
