Solution

Each antibody has the ability to recognise and bind with an antigen, as well as an effector mechanism, such as complement, to assist in killing the microbe.

Explanation:

Antibodies specifically recognize and attach to antigens on pathogens. After binding, they activate immune mechanisms like the complement system, which helps in destroying or neutralizing the invading microbe.
