Please help. I thought the answer is prokaryotic but its not and there are no answer choices.

2. Which kind of nutrients cycle through the atmosphere?

Kamila [148]

Answer:

Nutrient cycle is a process of movement, reuse or recycling of nutrients in that particular environment. They are for both living and nonliving things, elements like carbon, oxygen are recycled through such cycles.

Nutrient cycle in an ecosystem involve:

carbon cycle
nitrogen cycle
oxygen cycle
phosphorus cycle

Antibodies are composed of two types of peptides, heavy chains and light chains. One of the major classes of antibody molecules

timurjin [86]

Answer and Explanation:

a. form the antigen-binding site ⇒ both chains

The antigen-binding site is formed by one hypervariable region of the light chain (VL) and one hypervariable region of the heavy chain (VH). So, both type of chains contributes to antigen recognition.

b. contain multiple variable domains ⇒ none

Both chains - light and heavy - contain <u>only one</u> variable domain (VL and VH).

c. are found in the Fab fragment ⇒ both chains

The Fab fragment is composed of portions of both light and heavy chains: each portion contains one variable domain and one constant domain. The Fab fragment binds specifically the antigen.

d. are found in the FC fragment ⇒ heavy chains

The Fc region is composed of portions of heavy chains (CH² and CH³), so it contains constant domains.

e. contain only one constant domain ⇒ light chains

Each light chain contains one variable domain (VL) and one constant domain (CL).

f. contain multiple constant domains ⇒ heavy chains

Each heavy chain contains three constant domains: CH¹, CH² and CH³.

g. contain only one variable domain ⇒ both chains

Both light and heavy chains contain one variable domain. The difference is given by the number of constant domains: light chains have 1 constant domain while heavy chains have 3 constant domains.

What is true of saturated fatty acids?

Misha Larkins [42]

Saturated fatty acids are 'saturated' with hydrogen meaning they contain the maximum number of hydrogen. This causes them to be straight on the molecular level, allowing them to be packed close together other saturated fatty acids. Thus, they tend to be solids at room temperature. Examples of saturated fats are butter and the solid white fat you see on raw meat.

Be able to compare/contrast humoral immunity with cellular immunity.

aksik [14]

Solution:

The difference between them are:

The humoral system of immunity is also called the antibody-mediated system because of its use of specific immune-system structures called antibodies. The first stage in the humoral pathway of immunity is the ingestion (phagocytosis) of foreign matter by special blood cells called macrophages. The macrophages digest the infectious agent and then display some of its components on their surfaces. Cells called helper-T cells recognize this presentation, activate their immune response, and multiply rapidly. While,

The cell-mediated immune response involves cytotoxic T-cells, or killer-T cells. Body cells that have been infected by foreign matter often present components of that material on their surfaces. Killer-T cells recognize these displays and respond by ingesting or otherwise destroying the infected cell. Killer-T cells are also important in the body's defenses against parasites, fungi, protozoans, and other larger cells that might have found their way into the body. The killer-T cells recognize these large invaders by their foreign proteins and then destroy them.

This is the required answer.
