Each antibody has ______ binding site(s); binding of antibodies to a virus particle results in the particles being ________
a. one; disrupted and hydrolyzed
b. two; disrupted and hydrolyzed
c. two; clumped with other particles
d. three; disrupted and hydrolyzed
e. three; clumped with other particles
C; Each Y-shaped molecule has two pincer-like regions on the ends of the arms of the Y (but not the stem). These bind to viral coat proteins. Because one antibody can bind to two virus particles and one virus particle can bind to many antibodies, antibodies cause the viruses to form a large clump. This is then hagocytized and digested by a white blood cell.
