They are characterized by their granular cytoplasm and their ability to release toxic substances to kill pathogens. Therefore, the correct answer is leukocyte.

Submit
193. A blood cell that produces antibodies

Explanation

A lymphocyte is a type of blood cell that plays a crucial role in the immune system by producing antibodies. These antibodies help to identify and neutralize foreign substances, such as bacteria or viruses, in the body. Lymphocytes are a key component of the adaptive immune response and are responsible for the body's ability to recognize and remember specific pathogens. They are produced in the bone marrow and can be found in the blood, lymph nodes, and other lymphoid tissues.

197. Antibodies

Explanation

Antibodies are protein substances that are produced by leukocytes, which are a type of white blood cells. These antibodies play a crucial role in the immune response by recognizing and neutralizing foreign substances, such as bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. They bind to these foreign substances, marking them for destruction by other immune cells, such as phagocytes. Antibodies are not produced by erythrocytes, which are red blood cells, and they are different from antibiotics, which are medications used to treat bacterial infections.
