The antigen-binding sites of an antibody molecule are formed from the molecule's variable regions which are described as so because their amino acid sequences can be different on different antibodies.
The specificity of antibodies is determined by the variable regions found at their endpoints. Antibodies are specialized proteins secreted by B-cells of the immune system. They are also called immunoglobulins. They contain four polypeptide chains that comprise two heavy chains and two light chains to form a Y-shaped molecule.
The variable regions, more specifically the hypervariable regions of an antibody, have a high ratio of different amino acids with the most common amino acids provided in one place. The variable region serves as the antigen-binding site while the constant region found below the variable region is determined to invade the antigen.
Antibodies are preserved in our body to identify the antigen the next time it encounters. They send the signals to the other body parts to reject the antigen and invade it.

A clade is a group of species that includes an ancestral species and all of its descendents
I think c is the correct answer
Answer:
This electron handoff from NADH to FMN, as opposed to direct reduction of CoQ by NADH, a critical component of the electron transport chain is important for Signaling Transduction and Metabolomics
Explanation:
The NADH-CoQ reductase reaction is catalyzed by Complex I. In this course of activity, following events takes place-
a) FNM (NADH dehydrogenase flavoprotein) is reduced by the NADH to FMNH2 through following reactions –
NADH+H++E-FMN↔NAD++E-FMNH2
b) In the next phase coenzyme Q receives electron from FMNH2 through the the iron–sulfur centers of the NADH-CoQ reductase
c) The iron atom undergoes oxidation–reduction cycles to conserve mitochondrial protein as lataxin and hence transport protons from the matrix to the intermembranal space thereby Signaling Transduction and Metabolomics
Answer: Cyanobacteria, oxygen
Cyanobacteria also known as Cynophyta and blue green algae. It is a phyllum of bacteria that produces it's own food like plants by the process of photosynthesis. It is found in freshwater lakes, damp soils, oceans, moistened rocks and even in animal fur. The purple sulfur bacteria belongs to the group of Proteobacteria. It is an anaerobic bacteria. It is found in hot springs, and stagnant water. It is a photosynthesizing bacterial strain like Cyanobacteria but it does not utilize water to be reduced in the photosynthesis process like in Cynobacteria, to produce oxygen.
Hence, only the <u>Cyanobacteria</u> are capable of releasing <u>oxygen</u>.
