Answer:

protein

Explanation:

Antibodies are primarily<u> Y shaped proteins</u> which are <u>secreted by B lymphocytes (plasma cells specifically).</u> Antibodies are also known as immunoglobulins and provide us immunity. Apart from protein, carbohydrate is also present in antibodies. Antibodies <u>interact with antigens </u>which can be a pathogen or any other foreign molecule. The<u> interaction of antibody and antigen </u>leads to<u> antigen-antibody complex formation</u> which further leads to either <u>agglutination or precipitation reaction.</u> Due to agglutination or precipitation reaction, the <u>pathogen or foreign molecule is cleared from our body. </u>

There are <u>five types</u> of antibodies (immunoglobulins) named as <u>IgG, IgM, IgA, IgE and IgD.</u>

Veseljchak [2.6K]
Given that a blowfly starts its lifecycle only if there are appropriate conditions met, one of which is suitable temperature, the correct answers as to what can impact the timing of the blowfly lifecycle is the air temperature.
I don't see how humans will impact when this fly is going to be born, so A and C are incorrect. Leaves also doesn't really affect blowflies, which is why D is incorrect as well.
