Why do antibodies allow scientists to target and identify specific disease agents?

Biology
1 answer:
masha68 [24]3 years ago
6 0
Antibodies bind to the antigens on the surface of disease agents. If some sort of fluorescent tag is added to the antibody it would make the disease agent be identifiable either under a microscope or with other Instruments because it would bind to the antigens on the surface of the disease agents and make them glow a certain color. I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and it has helped you.

What is the crust beneath the Atlantic Ocean like?
77julia77 [94]

Answer:The 3rd one

The myofilaments used during muscle contractions will return to their resting state when the _____ relax.
andre [41]

The correct answer is sarcomere.

A sarcomere refers to the fundamental unit of striated muscle tissue. It is the reiterating unit between the two Z lines. The skeletal muscles comprise tubular muscle cells known as muscle fibers or myocytes that are produced in the procedure called myogenesis.

When the muscle fibers of a motor unit attain an impulse, it instigates a response in each sarcomere between the myosin and actin filaments. This response leads to a start of a contraction and the sliding filament theory.

The scala media is rich in K+ while the scale vestibuli and tympani are rich in Na+.
o-na [289]

Answer:

The given statement is True.

Explanation:

Scala media has endolymph as its constituent and endolymph  is rich in Potassium ions (K+)

whereas

Scala tympani and  scala vestibuli has in its composition Perilymph and Perilymph has sodium ions as their major constituent ions.

Therefore, scala media is Potassium ion rich while scala tympani and vestibuli are sodium ion rich.

How do the circulatory and respiratory system interact to provide muscle cells with oxygen during a long distance race?
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Humans—and other complex multicellular organisms—have systems of organs that work together, carrying out processes that keep us alive.

The body has levels of organization that build on each other. Cells make up tissues, tissues make up organs, and organs make up organ systems.

The function of an organ system depends on the integrated activity of its organs. For instance, digestive system organs cooperate to process food.

The survival of the organism depends on the integrated activity of all the organ systems, often coordinated by the endocrine and nervous systems.

What evidence supports Hess's theory of seafloor spreading? Check all that apply.
Zarrin [17]

The direction iron in ocean rocks points

The new crust, formed at constructive/divergent boundary (regarding tectonic plate movement), has band-like patterns that orient in different directions (in alignment with earth's magnetic fields) and visible on the surface. This shows that it is newly made crust made from new magma.

Explanation:

These bands are firmed when the iron minerals in magma orient themselves with the earth's magnetic field before the magma cols into rock and lock the minerals permanently in position. This magma upwells from the mantle to fill the void made when the tectonic plates are moving away from each other.

The earth's magnetic field on the other hand is dynamic. Its angle increases gradually from the true north or south and then flips orientation over several hundred years. The iron minerals therefore will align differently depending on the orientation of the earths magnetic field at the time. This is why the new crust has band-like features visible on its surface.
