Answer 1

Antibodies are Y-shaped proteins.They are produced by plasma cells and used by the immune system.

Antibodies are glycoproteins.They neutralize pathogens.Each antibody has a unique binding site shape.

Differences between regular cell and antibodies:

Regular cells provide structure for the body.Cells have different parts and every part has a different functions.Cells combine together to form tissues.Group of tissues are together to form organs.Every organ has their own work.Cells convert nutrients into energy for body.

Antibodies are produced by plasma cells and they protect us from antigens.When an antigen is found in the body,then the immune system will create antibodies.Antigenes are attackers and antibodies are defenders of antigens.Antigenes activate the complement system.
