Active acquired immunity occurs when you get an infection by a pathogen (bacteria, virus) and your body responds and removes the pathogen and also your body makes "memory" cells. These cell remember this pathogen and when it enters your body again you remove it immediately. You are now immune to it. You usually don't notice this.

The mother's breast milk provides passive natural immunity to the baby. This means that the baby receives antibodies from the mother through the breast milk, offering temporary immunity protection until the baby's immune system is more developed.


What are two ways in which active immunity can be acquired?

Active immunity can be acquired through natural exposure to an infectious agent, which triggers the body's immune response to produce antibodies. It can also be acquired through vaccination, where the immune system is exposed to a weakened or inactivated form of the pathogen, leading to the production of antibodies without causing illness.


What is the difference between acquired and passive immunity?

Acquired immunity is developed by the body after exposure to a pathogen or vaccine, leading to the production of antibodies. Passive immunity is temporary protection acquired through the transfer of pre-formed antibodies, such as from mother to child during pregnancy or through receiving injections of antibodies.
