Antigens are proteins that are found on the surface of the pathogen and are viruses, fungi, or bacteria. Nonliving substances such as toxins, chemicals, drugs, and foreign particles.  Antigens are usually carried by proteins and polysaccharides, and less frequently, lipids but it also needs to be attached to a large carrier molecule which is usually a protein.  When an antigen enters the body, the immune system produces antibodies against it. The Antigen stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies. YOUR WELCOME ;)

Climate warming trends allow plant and insect species to inhabit larger ranges. True or false?
attashe74 [19]

The right answer is True.

At the global level, climate change will contribute to the disruption of the Earth's natural ecosystems, which could lead to the extinction of wild animal species and plants. It is mainly the impact of climate change on habitat and ecosystems that will dictate the impacts on biodiversity (by expanding them or the opposite).

Climate change will profoundly affect agricultural and forestry production. The effects in terms of production potential will be very variable depending on the regions and plant cover. They can result in an overall tendency for moderate stimulation in temperate climates and for limited warming at 2 ° -3 ° C.
