    D They act as enzymes in metabolic reactions. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    (2) Correct тАУ Antibodies are highly specific to the antigens they bind to, helping the immune system neutralize pathogens.┬а (1) Antibodies are produced by B-cells, not T-cells. B-cells differentiate into plasma cells, which then secrete antibodies. (3) While B-cells are formed in the bone marrow, antibody production mainly occurs after their differentiation into plasma cells. (4) Antibodies do not function as enzymes in metabolic reactions; they mainly neutralize pathogens and mark them for destruction.
