Answer to Question 1

Complement functions along with the immune system to destroy or inactivate all types of foreign antigens. It can be activated in two ways: the classical pathway or the alternative pathway. Some functions of complements include acting as mediators of inflammation, coating the surface of invading bacteria, and generating an attack complex, which punches holes in the target's cell membrane, destroying it.

Answer to Question 2

False
