The ability of your body's immune system to distinguish between your cells
KatRina [158]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is cell surface markers.</em>

Explanation:

The immune cells of our body detect foreign particles and generate responses so that our body can get rid of them. The foreign particles are often termed as antigens.

The immune cells such as antibodies possess cell surface receptors which detect the foreign objects or antigens. When the cell surface receptors detect any antigen they immediately recognize that a foreign particle has invaded the body and they then identify it and start to generate response.

mojhsa [17]
The heat of fusion of the ice is the amount of energy that is required in order to melt one gram of ice. In this item, in order to solve for the heat of fusion, we simply have to divide the given energy by the mass. 
                     heat of fusion = 16650 J / 50 g = 333 J/g
Thus, the heat of fusion of the ice is 333 J/g.
