Given the question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Plasma cells are activated B cells that secrete antibodies. Antibodies are large, Y-shaped proteins that recognize and bind to antigens. Plasma cells are like antibody factories, producing many copies of a single type of antibody. The antibodies travel throughout the body in blood and lymph. Each antibody binds to just one kind of antigen. When it does, it forms an antigen-antibody complex (see Figure below ). The complex flags the antigen-bearing cell for destruction by phagocytosis . Q: What do you call large, y-shaped proteins that recognize and bind to antigens? Choices: - proteins - membranes - parasites - antibodies A:
The answer is:
antibodies
