Question

Draw a schematic diagram of an antibody molecule and label any 4 parts. Mention their chemical nature. Name the cells which produce them.

Hint:

Antibodies are part of the immune system and help neutralize pathogens by binding specifically to antigens.

Answer 1

The diagram illustrates the structure of an antibody, identifying key components such as the heavy chain, light chain, antigen-binding site, and disulfide bonds. Chemically, antibodies are glycoproteins. They are produced by B-lymphocytes.
