Answer:

The correct answer is: the antibodies' shape.

Explanation:

<u>Antibodies are proteins called immunoglobulins that serve the immune system by responding to a specific antigen and generating the proper counter to fight it. </u>

Each antibody consists of four polypeptides that form a "Y" shaped molecule. The Y shape is given by two heavy chains and two light chains.

<u>The tips of the Y are composed of 110-130 amino acids that vary greatly among other antibodies. This gives the antibody its </u><u>specificity</u><u>.</u>

Once a standard curve has been prepared by plotting numbers of bacteria (CFU/mL) versus absorbance for one species of bacteria,
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

b. False

Explanation:

The biomechanism of bacterial growth may be examined, by graphing cell growth (also known as absorbance) vs incubation time of the bacteria. A standard growth curve is the result of this process. The amount of turbidity in the broth culture is proportional to the number of microorganisms present.

A standard curve produced for a particular species can't be utilized to predict the number of bacterial counts for a different species due to the listed factors.

  • The rate of bacterial cell reproduction varies from a particular species to another.
  • Varying species have different absorbance thresholds.
