What is determined by protein markers on the surface of red blood cells?
hemoglobin.
Blood types are determined by the presence of protein located on what?

hemoglobin
What is rh protein?
Rh protein is an antigen found on the surface of red blood cells. It is responsible for the "positive" or "negative" portion of blood type designations.
What is Rh?
Rhesus (Rh) factor is an inherited protein found on the surface of red blood cells. If your blood has the protein, you're Rh positive. If your blood lacks the protein, you're Rh negative. Rh positive is the most common blood type.
Does o- blood effect pregnancies?
Each person's blood is one of four major types: A, B, AB, or O. Blood types are determined by the types of antigens on the blood cells. Antigens are proteins on the surface of blood cells that can cause a response from the immune system. The Rh factor is a type of protein on the surface of red blood cells. Most people who have the Rh factor are Rh-positive. Those who do not have the Rh factor are Rh-negative
Describe How the clotting of blood occurs?
Blood contain a special type of protein called fibrinogen. It is a fibrous protein and is insoluble in aqueous medium. They are non-crystalline and are elastic in nature.This type of protein helps in blood clotting due to its elastic nature.
Type of molecule on the surface of red blood cells?
There are dozens of proteins within the layers of the red blood cell membrane that help with functions like transport and shape. The antigens on the surface of red blood cells that determine blood type are actually carbohydrate molecules attached to protein carriers. They are determined by genetics; your parents' blood types determine your blood type. In contrast, hemoglobin is not on the red blood cells' cell membranes, but is contained in the cytoplasm of the cell. What we call Rh D factor is also a protein found on the surface of the RBCs. Either you have it (Rh+) or not (Rh-).
What is Beta2-microglobulin?
Beta2-microglobulin is a protein found on the surface of many cells. Testing is done primarily when evaluating a person for certain kinds of cancer affecting white blood cells.
What blood types are there and how are they determined?
There are 4 basic blood types. A, B, AB, and O. Then, there is the "rh" factor, determining if you are negative or positive. So, there is A+, A-, B+, B-, AB+, AB-, and O+, or O-. "O" is typically the universal donor. That means that it is able to be taken by the other blood types IF you match the (+) or (-). AB- is the hardest type to find, and is less than 1% of the population.
Does protein play a part in cell regonition?
When protein attaches with glycogen on the surface of the cell membrane , it acts as an ID for the cell which white blood cell will not act with the cell as a pathogen.
