Antibody Structure Quiz

What is the basic structure of an antibody?

• Linear structure with one heavy chain and one light chain

• Circular structure with three heavy chains and one light chain

• Y-shaped structure with two heavy chains and two light chains

• Z-shaped structure with four heavy chains and two light chains

What are the two heavy chains present in an antibody?

• heavy chain constant region and light chain variable region

• light chain constant region and light chain variable region

• heavy chain constant region and heavy chain variable region

• light chain constant region and heavy chain variable region

What are the two light chains present in an antibody?

• kappa and lambda

• alpha and beta

• gamma and delta

• epsilon and zeta

What is the function of the variable region in an antibody?

• Transporting oxygen

• Regulating body temperature

• Producing antibodies

• Binding to specific antigens

What is the function of the constant region in an antibody?

• The constant region regulates antibody production.

• The constant region is responsible for antigen recognition.

• The constant region determines the antibody's class and effector functions.

• The constant region determines the antibody's specificity.

What is the role of disulfide bonds in antibody structure?

• Disulfide bonds make antibodies more flexible and unstable.

• Disulfide bonds stabilize the structure of antibodies.

• Disulfide bonds have no role in antibody structure.

• Disulfide bonds are responsible for the degradation of antibodies.

What are the three main types of antibodies?

• IgG, IgM, and IgA

• IgD, IgE, and IgF

• IgG, IgM, and IgD

• IgA, IgB, and IgC

What is the role of the antigen-binding site in an antibody?

• Recognize and bind to specific antigens

• Neutralize toxins produced by antigens

• Promote inflammation in response to antigens

• Transport antigens to immune cells

What is the role of the Fc region in an antibody?

• The Fc region of an antibody is responsible for antigen recognition.

• The Fc region of an antibody is involved in antibody production.

• The Fc region of an antibody is responsible for antibody degradation.

• The Fc region of an antibody binds to immune cells and molecules to initiate immune responses and mediate effector functions.

What is the significance of antibody isotypes?

• Antibody isotypes are only found in humans.

• Antibody isotypes have the same functions and properties.

• Antibody isotypes are only produced during an immune response.

• Antibody isotypes are different forms of antibodies that have different functions and properties.
