each monomer is composed of four protein chains(two heavy chains and two light chains) connected by disulfide bonds. both the heavy and light chains have regions of constnt amino acid sequence (c regions) and regions of variable amino acid sequence (v regions). The variable regions differ in each type of antibody and construct the antigen-binding sites. Each immunoglobulin monomer has two such antigen-specific sites.

A monomer plus a monomer plus a monomer plus a monomer is?
a polymer.
Which best explains the difference between a monomer and a polymer?
A monomer is a single structure and has low moleculer weight, while a polymer consists of several monomers and appears like plastic such as shellac and varnish.A polymer has higher molecular weight. Polymers don't always look like plastic--wood and cotton are both polymers. Rubber is also a polymer.
Is a nucleotide a monomer?
it is a monomer of nucleosides
What is the monomer for hemoglobin?
monomer
What is a monomer of nucleic acids?
Nucleotide is the monomer. Nucleotide is the monomer of Nucleic Acids.
What is the monomer structure of carbohydrates?
It is a sugar - Glucose.
What is the monomer or subunit of carbohydrate structure?
Glucose
What is structure of immunoglobulin?
the basic structure of the immunoglobulin gene natural immunoglobulin molecule containing four heterologous polypeptide chain, in which the molecular weight known as the heavy chain and lower molecular weight light chain. Two H chains and two L-chain amino acids in the same natural Ig molecules are composed of exactly the same.
What is the basic structure of a macromolecules?
It is called a monomer. Monomers together form polymer.
What does a monomer need in its structure to undergo addition polymerisation?
The monomer must be able to form stable covalent chemical bonds between units in order to polymerize.

What are chitin encased bodies?
This is most often used to describe the structure present in crustaceans. Their bodies are encased in a chitin exoskeleton. Chitin, the structural polysaccharide based on the monomer N-acetylglucosamine, is both flexible and strong, and is perfect to serve as the basis of their exoskeletons.
Why immunoglobulin G alone can cross placenta?
IgG is an immunoglobluin monomer, meaning that it is one immunoglobulin that is small enough to cross the placenta. An example would be the Rh antibody that causes isoimmunization between Rh negative mothers and Rh positive fetuses. In constrast, ABO blood group immunoglobulins are IgM which is a pentamer, meaning it is composed of 5 immunoglobulins and is too large to cross the placenta.
What Immunoglobulin is released in an allergic reaction?
Immunoglobulin E (IgE)
