Solution
The correct option is B S
Immunoglobulin
Antibodies or immunoglobulins are proteins produced by B lymphocytes (white blood cells with non-granular cytoplasm that originate and mature in the bone marrow) that are present in the blood and lymph. They provide immunity against specific antigens (foreign substances that can trigger production of antibodies and immunological cells).
- Element required to maintain the structure of immunoglobulin is S (sulphur).
- This is because antibodies have disulfide bonds.
- A disulfide bond joins a light chain with a heavy chain. Two disulphide bonds link the two heavy chains.
Final answer
a. S.
