Self antigens in our cell membrane are primarily composed of glycoproteins and glycolipids. These molecules consist of proteins or lipids bonded to carbohydrate chains, which play a crucial role in cell recognition and immune response. The specific arrangement of these carbohydrates helps the immune system distinguish between self and non-self entities, contributing to the body's ability to tolerate its own cells while responding to foreign invaders.

Antigens. Your blood type depends if you have A, B, AB, or none of those antigens (O). These antigens can also be positive or negative depending on whether you have the Rh antigen, or Rh factor.

Where are the blood antigens A B Rh located?

Blood antigens A and B are located on the surface of red blood cells, while the Rh antigen (Rh factor) is also found on the surface of red blood cells. These antigens determine an individual's blood type.


Is glucose a organic molecule?

Molecules A and B are both organic molecules found in many cells when tested it is found that molecule A cannot pass through a cell membrane but molecule B easily passes through state one way the two?

Molecule A may be too large or too polar to pass through the cell membrane effectively, while molecule B may be smaller and more nonpolar allowing it to pass through easily via diffusion. The difference in membrane permeability between the two molecules could be due to variations in size, charge, polarity, or interaction with membrane proteins.
