What causes the body to produce antibodies?
B cells, about one-eighth of the circulating lymphocytes, mature into plasma cells. Plasma cells are responsible for the production and secretion of antibodies, soluble proteins that are also known as immunoglobulins.
What cells are responsible for synthesis of antibodies?
There are various cells and organs that plays a vital role in the production of antibodies. Primarily the white blood cells also called as lymphocytes converts to immunoblasts and then convert to plasma cells, from which the antibodies are thus produced. T-cells and B-cells are antigen specific and produce the antibodies based on the structure and pathogenticity of an antigen. The immune response varies from one antigen to the other.
Antibodies are produced by?
Activated B cells, called plasma cells, are responsible for producing antibodies
What type of intracellular structure would you expect to be in the plasma cell?
Plasma cells typically contain a large amount of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) specialized for the synthesis and secretion of antibodies. They also have well-developed Golgi apparatus for processing and packaging the antibodies before their release. Additionally, you may find a high number of ribosomes in plasma cells to support protein synthesis.
The connective tissue cell responsible for the synthesis and secretion of connective tissue fibers is?
Fibroblasts are the connective tissue cells responsible for the synthesis and secretion of connective tissue fibers, such as collagen and elastin. These fibers provide support and strength to the extracellular matrix of connective tissues.
What are the cells responsible for the production of circulating antibodies called?
They are the white blood cells, also called erythrocytes, depending on the type of antibodies they are most likely T-Cells
Lipid and protein secretion carbohydrate synthesis and assembly of glycoproteins are functions of what?
These functions are carried out by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in eukaryotic cells. The ER is responsible for the synthesis and processing of lipids and proteins, as well as the assembly of glycoproteins through the addition of carbohydrate molecules.
The blood component is responsible for producing antibodies?
White blood cells
What is a ribosomes job in an animal cells?
responsible for protein synthesis.
What is the function of amyloplasts cells?
They are responsible for the synthesis and storage of starch granules
Functions of lymphocytes?
Lymphocytes have a <protective role>. Particular function depends on the type of lymphocytes. T cells are involved in cell-mediated immunity whereas B cells are primarily responsible for humoral immunity (relating to antibodies). Protective functions are done through: lysis of virually infected cells or tumor cells, realease of cytokines and growth factors to stimulate otherimmune cells, immunoregulation and cytotoxicity, destruction of virally infected cells, secretion of antibodies
What are the sites of protein synthesis in cells?
Protein synthesis occurs in the ribosomes of cells. In eukaryotic cells, this process mainly takes place in the cytoplasm, while in prokaryotic cells like bacteria, it occurs in the cytoplasm as well. Additionally, in eukaryotic cells, proteins that are destined for secretion or for membranes are synthesized in the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
