When a pathogen enters the body, cells in the blood and lymph detect the specific pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) on the pathogen's surface. The immune system can be activated by a lot of different things that the body doesn't recognize as its own. These are called antigens. Examples of antigens include the proteins on the surfaces of bacteria, fungi and viruses. ... Sometimes the immune system mistakenly thinks that the body's own cells are foreign cells. Antigens are proteins that are found on the surface of the pathogen. ... The antibodies destroy the antigen (pathogen) which is then engulfed and digested by macrophages. White blood cells can also produce chemicals called antitoxins which destroy the toxins (poisons) some bacteria produce when they have invaded the body.

hope this helps :))

If a hemoglobin molecule comes into close contact with a respiring cell, the presence of CO2 in the environment will cause hemog
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

No, when the concentration of carbon dioxide is high, such as in peripheral tissues, CO2 binds to hemoglobin and the affinity for O2 decreases, causing it to release.

Explanation:

The O2 molecule is reversibly combined with the heme portion of the hemoglobin. When the partial pressure of O2 is high, as in the case of pulmonary capillaries, for example, the binding of O2 to hemoglobin and the release of carbon dioxide are favored, this is known as the Haldane effect. If, on the contrary, when the concentration of carbon dioxide is high, such as in peripheral tissues, CO2 is bound to hemoglobin and the affinity for O2 decreases, causing it to release, this is known as the effect Bohr.
