What else can I help you with?
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
Specialized globular proteins that attack foreign proteins and pathogens is known as what?
Antibodies are the specialized globular proteins that specifically bind to foreign proteins and pathogens to aid in their neutralization or elimination from the body. They are produced by white blood cells called B cells as part of the immune response.
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.
Does plasma contain the bloods WBC?
Yes, plasma contains white blood cells (WBCs) along with other components such as red blood cells, platelets, and proteins. Plasma is the liquid component of blood that carries these cells and proteins throughout the body.
Are proteins larger than blood cells?
Yes,because proteins is like egg is larger than blood cells.
What is a group of proteins that normally circulate in the blood in an inactive form and activated by contact with nonspecific antigens such as foreign blood cells or bacteria is known as?
A group of proteins that circulates in the blood in an inactive form and is activated by contact with nonspecific antigens, such as foreign blood cells or bacteria, is known as the complement system. This system plays a crucial role in the immune response by helping to clear pathogens and promote inflammation. Once activated, complement proteins can enhance opsonization, facilitate phagocytosis, and contribute to the lysis of pathogens.
What is present in the blood to protect the body from infectons and disease?
The blood contains several components that protect the body from infections and diseases, primarily white blood cells (leukocytes), antibodies, and complement proteins. White blood cells, such as lymphocytes and phagocytes, identify and destroy pathogens. Antibodies are specific proteins produced by B cells that recognize and neutralize foreign invaders. Additionally, complement proteins enhance the ability of antibodies and phagocytes to clear pathogens from the body.
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.
How do white blood cells know what to attack?
All cells carry unique proteins on their cell membranes. These are called antigens, and when white blood cells come across an unfamiliar antigen, they will treat the cell (or bacterium) as hostile, and treat it as such by releasing antibodies, or by engulfing the cell.
How can white cells tell your cells from foreign?
White blood cells can recognize foreign cells or pathogens through proteins on their surface called antigens. These antigens are like identification tags that the immune system uses to distinguish between "self" and "non-self" cells. When white blood cells encounter cells with foreign antigens, they trigger an immune response to attack and eliminate the intruders.
Which human blood group lacks proteins in the red blood cells?
Blood type O lacks the antigen proteins of A and B. Blood type O is the universal donor.
What blood cells surround and digest foreign organisms in your body?
White blood cells
