Pathogenicity

Infection and Transmission

The infections are generated by the pathogenic organisms present in the environment. They maintain the capacity to invade a host body and establish colonies. A disease caused by such infectious agents is called a communicable disease or transmissible disease. These diseases spread through diverse means including blood, food, water, air, or vectors.

Question

5. All antibodies are proteins. What protein property has favored their use as antibodies in preference to some other type of biomolecule?

Carbon-based molecules made by living things. The four categories of biomolecules—proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates—compose living things and carry out their chemical processes.
