Explanation / Answer

13. d. Chemotaxis

As WBCs move in the gradient of concentration of the antigen, it is a form of chemotaxis.

14. d. it is salvaged and stored for reuse in hemoglobin synthesis

High iron levels in the blood can be toxic, so a protein called transferrin moves it to sites of hemoglobin and RBC synthesis.
