How are white cells functioned?
White blood cells destroy bacteria and viruses found in your body by releasing enzymes and proteins to break down the foreign cells then consuming it.
The group of proteins that normally circulate in the blood in an inactive form and are activated by contact with nonspecific antigens such as foreign blood cells or bacteria?
complement
Specialized globular proteins that attack foreign proteins and pathogens is known as what?
They are known as killer T cells, which are a type of white blood cell that engulfs and digests foreign proteins/pathogens that enter the body. They work in conjunction with another type of white blood cell called Helper T cells which do the actual targeting of the pathogen/protein.
Are proteins larger than blood cells?
Yes,because proteins is like egg is larger than blood cells.
Why are red blood cells unable to synthasize proteins?
Mature blood cells do not have a nucleus. Without this genetic material, the cells are unable to synthesize proteins.
Where are the blood type proteins found?
blood type proteins are found on the surface of the red blood cells that are like id tags
What blood cells surround and digest foreign organisms in your body?
White blood cells
What carries carbohydrates proteins and fats to your cells?
Blood.
Is any proteins in the white blood cells?
carbohydrates
Does protein protect cells from foreign material?
Proteins play a major part in protecting our cells and our body.
Proteins on the outside of the aids virus bind to what?
proteins on the surface of red blood cells
What will happen if you are given blood from a different species?
If you are lucky all that will happen is you will get very sick while your body attacks the foreign proteins in the blood given to you (all the blood cells plus most of the proteins like albumin and fibrin). If you are healthy enough, you could survive this with immediate and extensive medical attention. However, if you are sick or have low blood cell counts (like in anemia or leukemia), you may not have enough blood cells of your own to survive the attacks from the foreign blood cells and could die. There are also serious risks of transferring blood-borne illnesses like rickettsial diseases and certain viruses that can jump between species.
