The answer is as follows:

  1. Light Chain Hypervariable Region: Part of the body that binds antigen

    • Explanation: The hypervariable region of the light chain is part of the antigen-binding site of the antibody, which is responsible for recognizing and binding to specific antigens.
  2. Constant Region: The most conserved region of the molecule, which interacts with other immune system components (effector function)

    • Explanation: The constant region of an antibody is highly conserved and is responsible for mediating interactions with other components of the immune system, such as complement proteins and cell surface receptors.
  3. Heavy Chain: Contains more than 1 constant region

    • Explanation: The heavy chain of an antibody contains multiple constant regions, which contribute to the effector functions of the antibody.
  4. Light Chain: Pairs with the amino-terminal part of the heavy chain to form one of the two arms of the antibody

    • Explanation: The light chain pairs with the amino-terminal part of the heavy chain to form the antigen-binding site of the antibody, creating one of the two arms of the antibody.
  5. Hinge Region: Provides flexibility to permit binding to different antigenic arrangements

    • Explanation: The hinge region of an antibody provides flexibility, allowing the two arms of the antibody to move relative to each other and bind to antigens that are spaced differently.

Summary:

  1. Light Chain Hypervariable Region: Part of the body that binds antigen
  2. Constant Region: The most conserved region of the molecule, which interacts with other immune system components (effector function)
  3. Heavy Chain: Contains more than 1 constant region
  4. Light Chain: Pairs with the amino-terminal part of the heavy chain to form one of the two arms of the antibody
  5. Hinge Region: Provides flexibility to permit binding to different antigenic arrangements
