Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of antibodies in the immune system: Antibodies are proteins that help identify and neutralize foreign objects like bacteria and viruses.
Identify the cells responsible for producing antibodies: In the immune system, specific cells are tasked with the production of antibodies.
Learn about plasma cells: Plasma cells are a type of white blood cell that originates from B cells. They are specifically responsible for producing and secreting antibodies.
Differentiate between the cell types: Red blood cells transport oxygen, dendritic cells present antigens to T cells, and helper T cells assist other cells in the immune response, but none of these produce antibodies.
Conclude that plasma cells are the correct answer: Based on the understanding of the immune system and the specific functions of different cells, plasma cells are the ones that produce antibodies.
