Question 9 • First Semester Biology

Which statements describe functions of antibodies? Select two options. They maintain the cell’s shape.They regulate cell processes.They protect the body from infectious agents.They signal the immune system to destroy pathogens.They speed up biochemical reactions.They send electrical signals.

Answer
A
They maintain the cell’s shape.
B
They regulate cell processes.
C
They protect the body from infectious agents.
D
They signal the immune system to destroy pathogens.
E
They speed up biochemical reactions.
F
They send electrical signals.

Explanation

Antibodies are proteins that recognize and bind specific foreign substances, such as parts of pathogens. This helps protect the body from infectious agents and can mark pathogens or trigger signals that prompt the immune system to destroy them. Maintaining cell shape, regulating cell processes, speeding up reactions, and sending electrical signals are functions of other cellular components.
