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>

In a nucleotide, the nitrogenous base is attached to the sugar's _____ carbon and the phosphate group is attached to the sugar's
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

A. 1' ... 5'

Explanation:

The pentose sugars present in nucleotides have five-carbon structures. Other components of a nucleotide are a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base. The nitrogenous base in a nucleotide can be a purine or pyrimidine. The purine bases are covalently joined to the 1' carbon atom of the pentose sugar at their N-9. The bond between the nitrogenous base and a pentose sugar is called the N-beta glycosyl bond.

Similarly, N-1 of a pyrimidine base is covalently linked to the 1' carbon of the pentose sugar. The phosphate group of a nucleotide is bonded to the 5' carbon of the pentose sugar.

directing the synthesis of proteins necessary for proper cell function.

Explanation:

The nucleic acids include DNA and RNA. The instructions on DNA are transcribed into messenger RNA.
