Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand the role of antibodies in the immune system. Antibodies are proteins that identify and help neutralize foreign objects like bacteria and viruses.
Recognize that antibodies are part of the immune response and are produced by B cells. They are not involved in catalyzing reactions like enzymes, nor do they transport molecules across membranes.
Identify the main classes of proteins: structural (e.g., collagen), enzymatic (e.g., amylase), transport (e.g., hemoglobin), and receptor proteins.
Consider the function of receptor proteins, which are involved in receiving and transmitting signals. Antibodies can be considered as part of the immune signaling process, but they are not typically classified as receptor proteins.
Conclude that antibodies do not fit neatly into the categories of structural, enzymatic, or transport proteins, and the correct classification is not listed among the given options.
