Which two substances are necessary for normal red blood cell maturation?

Iron and vitamin B12 are essential for normal red blood cell maturation. Iron is needed for hemoglobin synthesis, while vitamin B12 is important for the proper development of red blood cells.


A scientist investigates two types of cells located in different parts in the human body Cell A contains many more mitochondria than cell B What is the best conclusion to make from this observation?

A being quite more active than B. Cell A is part of an organ that does more work than Cell B. Cell B does less work than Cell A.


What is the difference between a B cell and a memory B cell?

A plasma B cell is a B cell that has been activated to proliferate and produce antibodies against a specific antigen. A memory B cell is a B cell that lives a long time after an infection to provide long lasting immunity against that specific antigen. They both originate from the same B cell in your secondary lymph system. Once activated the specific B cell will proliferate into plasma B cells and memory B cells.


How can B cell mature into plasma cell?

The surface immunoglotulin that serves as the B-Cell antigen receptor (BCR) has two roles in B-cell activation. First, like the antigen receptor on T cells, it transmits signals directly to the cell's interior when it binds antigen. Second, the B-Cell antigen receptor delivers the antigen to intracellular sites where it is degraded and returned to the B-cell surface as peptides bound to MHC class II molecules.


What are the differences between Bcell receptors and Tcell receptors?

there are different types of b cell and t cell. both are lymphocytes, a subclass of white blood cell. the t cells are mainly used in identifying antigens and releasing chemicals which attact macrophages (big immune cells which 'eat' antigens), to destroy the antigen. b cells are used in the production of antibodies. when they encounter a new antigen, plasma cells and memory cells are formed from the division of a b cell. the memory cell remembers the antigen and which antibody to use, while the plasma cell makes the antibodies to fight a particular antigen or class of antigens

When in its life cycle does a B cell first exhibit its particular surface antibody?

A B cell exhibits its particular surface antibody when it reaches the mature stage, which typically occurs during the later stages of its development in the bone marrow or lymphoid tissues. This occurs after the B cell undergoes rearrangement of its immunoglobulin genes and passes through different stages of maturation to become a fully functional B cell capable of recognizing specific antigens.

A mature B cell that mass produces antibodies is called a?

A mature B cell that mass produces antibodies is called a plasma cell. Plasma cells are differentiated B cells that are specialized for producing large quantities of antibodies to help fight infections.


A white blood cell necessary for B cells to develop normal levels of antibodies?

Well firstly an antigen presenting cell like dendritic cell or macrophage is needed. Secondly you also need a T cell that is complementary to the B cell. B cell will only become plasma cell when it receives the full signal 1. Stimuli: CD4 from T cell interacting with BcR/antigen complex on B cell 2. Co-stimuli: CD40L (CD154) on T cell interacting with CD40 on B cell This interaction allows T cell to secrete IL4, this binds to IL4R on B cell thus receive signal for proliferating and differentiating.
