Question

A scientist wanted to formulate a pill to attack a specific type of bacteria that infects the throat. Which biological component would be best to use as a model for the pill’s function?

a. bacteriocytes
b. phagocytes
c. complement
d. antibodies

Answer 1

D. antibodies

Answer 2

The correct answer is d. antibiotics

Step-by-step explanation:

Antibodies are the glycoproteins that are released by the plasma B cells in the body. These antibodies bind to an epitope present on antigen and help in the destruction of antigen.

They are also called immunoglobins and there are five types of antibodies. IgA, IgM, IgG, IgE, IgD. Each type of antibodies functions against a specific type of antigen or pathogen. Therefore antibodies are the biological component which would be the best to use as a model for the pill’s function.
