Answer:

Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens

Explanation:

The process in which recipient body rejects the transplanted organ is called a allograft rejection or transplantation rejection.

A transplanted organ contains Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens which are required to be accepted by the recipient's body to function properly but T cells in recipient's body become alloreactive and recognize MHC antigens (donor-derived antigens) as foreign and starts making antibodies against it. Which means the recipient's body is rejecting the  transplanted organ.

Hence, the correct answer is "Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigens".

How does energy flow between the sun plants and other organisms?
SSSSS [86.1K]
The continual input of energy, mostly from sunlight, sustains the process of life. Sunlight allows plants, algae and cyanobacteria to use photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide and water into organic compounds like carbohydrates. This process is the fundamental source of organic material in the biosphere. There are a few exceptions to this, such as ecosystems living around hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor, which derive their energy from the chemical compounds such as methane and hydrogen sulfide. In either case, the overall productivity of an ecosystem is controlled by the total energy available.
