what are two antimicrobial proteins?

mucous membrane
stomach acid
interferon
complement
macrophage

Explanation:

To determine the antimicrobial proteins, we analyze each option:

• Mucous membrane: A tissue, not a protein.
• Stomach acid: An acid (HCl), not a protein.
• Interferon: A type of antimicrobial protein (cytokine) with antiviral properties.
• Complement: A group of antimicrobial proteins involved in immune responses.
• Macrophage: A type of immune cell, not a protein.

So the antimicrobial proteins are Interferon and Complement.

Answer:

C. Interferon, D. Complement
