Passive immunity involves the bodies defenses which do not change for different types of microbes. This would be like Natural Killer B cells which attack a wide variety of microbes. Active immunity involves your body becoming acclimated toward a bacteria or virus, such that future contact will spur on a triggered response. An example of this would be the production of antibodies.

∙ 11y agoActive immunity is a form of immunity that develops after a primary immune response which is a response to exposure to a live pathogen and development of symtoms. The cells produce the antibodies themselves.
Passive immunity is a form of immunity in which a person's cells do not produce the antibodies, they receive them by an injection of antibodies or antitoxin

Natural- Placental transmission of antibodies from mother to fetus.
- Transmission of antibodies from breast milk.
Artificial- Injection of performed antibodies after presumed exposure.
Active. Production of one's own antibodies.
Natural-Recovering from a disease, with production of antibodies and memory cells.
Artificial-A vaccine stimulates reproduction of antibodies and memory cells.
Hope this help!!!:D

∙ 13y agoActive immunity is your own body fighting off an infective process. Passive immunity is gaining the ability to fight off infection from another source. For example, babies are born without a fully functioning immune system. Baby gains passive immunity through breastfeeding - mom passes her immunoglobulins to the baby through breast milk.

Which of the two types of immunity requires white blood cells?
The Passive and Active Immunity's, why? Because they are immunity's that your body produces in response to a specific pathogen that has infected or is infecting your body.
If you were to transfuse a person with plasma proteins from a person or an animal that has been actively immunized against a specific antigen would it provide active or passive immunity?
active
How are active transport and passive transport different from each other?
The most basic difference between active and passive transport is that active requires energy while passive does not. You would require active transport if the substance is going against the concentration of molecules inside and outside of the membrane or if the substance is particularly large. Passive is more for smaller molecules that go with the concentration of the molecules inside and outside of the membrane.
What id the difference between active and passive transport?
Active transport requires ATP and passive transport does not. Active transport goes against the concentration gradient and passive transport goes with the concentration gradient and includes osmosis, diffusion and facilitated diffusion.
What type of transport is carbon dioxide passive or active?
Passive (diffusion).
Passive immunity is different from active immunity because passive immunity?
Passive immunity is different from active immunity because it means that you can get it from another person and you can give it someone else. Active immunity is when you get it by yourself, not from another person, and you cannot pass it to another person.

How are different active and passive?
Active immunity is generated by your body. So you get active immunity as a result of infections or due to vaccines. Passive immunity is not generated by your body. Here the antibodies are to be supplied. Child gets the antibodies from mother. Alternately you get the antibodies via injections. The effect of active immunity is long lasting. The effect of passive immunity is short lived. So the active immunity is considered as better. The passive immunity has one advantage. It is available with immediate effect, while it takes about two to three weeks, before the effects of active immunity is available.
What is passive immunity and active immunity?
active immunity is the immunity that is stimulated internally as a a result of antibodies entering the body. Passive is stimulated by substances from an external source
What are two kinds of immunity?
active acquired immunity and passive acquired immunity
Does active immunity last longer than passive immunity?
yes
What are the two kinds of immunity?
passive and active
Is the vaccine for smallpox naturally acquired passive or active immunity?
active
How does active and passive immunity function?
Both passive and active immunity have role in the elimination of bacteria and naturalization of toxins. Extracellular bacteria G+ and G- induce inflammation and production of toxins. Hence, active immunity responses by production of antibodies and passive immunity via phagocytes and complement activation, cytotoxic production by macrophages.
