The correct answer is b. Glycoproteins.
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are glycoproteins that are produced by B cells in response to the presence of foreign substances (antigens) in the body. They are composed of:
– Protein chains (heavy and light chains)
– Carbohydrate molecules (glycans) attached to the protein chains
The glycan components of antibodies play important roles in their stability, folding, and interactions with other molecules.
