Solution Steps

Step 1: Analyze the provided image and options

The image presents a simplified diagram of an antibody structure, numbered 1 through 6, along with a list of possible labels. We need to match the numbers on the diagram to the correct antibody components.

Step 2: Identify the components
  1. Light chain, constant region: This is the lower portion of the "arm" of the antibody.
  2. Light chain, variable region: This is the upper portion of the "arm" of the antibody.
  3. Heavy chain, constant region: This is the lower "stem" section of the antibody, connected to both arms.
  4. Heavy chain, variable region: This is the upper portion of the "stem" and the part of the arms closest to the stem section.
  5. Disulfide bridge: These are not directly labeled but are represented by the short lines connecting the heavy and light chains.
  6. Antigen-binding site/variable region: This comprises both heavy and light chain variable regions at the tips of the antibody "arms."

Final Answer

  1. Constant region (light chain)
  2. Variable region (light chain)
  3. Constant region (heavy chain)
  4. Variable region (heavy chain)
  5. Disulfide bridge
  6. Antigen-binding site/Variable region
