Answer:

This question lacks options, options are:

A. water

B. glucose

C. vitamins

D. amino acids

E. lipids

The correct answer is E.

Explanation:

Lipids are a heterogeneous group of organic compounds divided into fats or oils, phospholipids and cholesterol esters. The lymphatic vessels are responsible for the transport of lipids and fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K), which are absorbed through the digestive tract, that is, they act as capturers of fats and excess fluids from the human body, always present in the blood vessels. They do not carry blood, but lymph, a clear liquid. They play an important role in the transport of fats, in the recovery of fluids that escape from the blood capillaries and in the fight against infections. In the small intestine, specialized lymphatic capillaries transport lipids from the diet to the lymphatic vessels and, ultimately, to the blood. The presence of these lipids makes the lymph drained through the small intestine appear creamy white.

Alexandra [31]

Answer: Antibodies are proteins that are found in the body on the surface of red blood cells and in the blood plasma ,they are very sensitive to foreign bodies and bad viruses and bacteria,when they notice the presence of anything that poses harm or a threat to the body system,they track it down and fight/destroy it.

Antibodies also play crucial role in hemostasis(stoppage of bleeding) in the sense that when the body is wounded or when someone gets a cut antibodies that are found in the plasma and some substances found in the platelets are released to play a role in sending signal to the blood clotting factors in the blood to be released to arrest the bleeding and prevent the person from bleeding out their entire blood.
