Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

By comparing the wavelength of the spectral lines in the object's spectrum to the rest wavelengths of the same lines, we measure the Doppler shift. This tells us the object's radial motion: A shift toward shorter wavelength means the object is moving toward us, and a shift to longer wavelength means it is moving away from us. We cannot learn anything about the object's tangential motion from its spectral lines because this does not affect the line positions.

IgA antibodies protect body surfaces exposed to outside foreign substances. IgG antibodies are found in all body fluids. IgM antibodies are the first type of antibody made in response to an infection. IgE antibody levels are often high in people with allergies. IgD antibodies are found in tissues lining the abdomen and chest.
