Where do antibodies come from in the active immunity process?

You need to be more specific. Do you mean the Naturally acquired active immunity process or the Artificially acquired active immunity process? Both are of the Adaptive Immunity process. There are also passive processes for each.


Compare passive immunity to active immunity?

Active Immunity - Vaccines are used for health purposes to expose our bodies to a particular antigen. These antigens are usually killed or severely weakened to decrease their potency. After destroying these pathogens, the body stores some T cells as memory cells, due to the fact they code for a particular antigen and can be when needed. This memory in T cells can be a means of artificially acquiring immunity while a genuine attack by a pathogen is a naturally acquired type of immunity. Passive Immunity - This is where immunity to particular antigens as a result of genetic traits passed on from parents rendering the offspring immune to a particular pathogenic threat.


What kind of immunity do you receive from vaccines?

Innate immunity (also called nonspecific or natural immunity) refers to the inborn ability of the body to resist and is genetically transmitted from one generation to the next. This immunity offers resistance to any microorganism or foreign material encountered by the host. It includes general mechanisms inherited as part of the innate structure and function of each vertebrate and acts as the first line of defense. Innate immunity lacks immunological memory, i.e., it occurs to the same extent each time a microorganism or foreign material is encountered.


What are examples of artificial active immunity?

Active immunity is acquired from vaccinations or from infection against a pathogen. The next time you encounter the same pathogen your body has built memory against it and will be able to fight it much more efficiently. Passive immunity is primarily through a mother to a baby or fetus. Through the placenta the mother transfers her immunity (IgG antibodies) to her fetus. Also through breast milk she can although the placenta is much more so. The baby has her/his immunity from the mother but it only lasts a few months because the baby hasn't developed his/her own immunity.


Is mineral movement into plant root an active transport or passive transport?

You'll have to be more specific. It can be either. The distinguishing feature is that active transport requires energy to occur, passive does not


What is active and passive?

Active is tending to become more severe or wider in scope;like "active tuberculosis" Passive is lacking in energy or will;like "Much benevolence of the passive order may be traced to a disinclination to inflict pain upon oneself"- George Meredith


A passive close to a cover letter leads to more interviews?

i think its a active


How are active and passive differ from 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.


Are active 3D glasses better than the passive 3D glasses because they have battery and are more expensive that active glasses seem to be more sophisticated and reliable?

Active 3D glasses are far better than passive glasses when used with an active 3D television. Similarly, passive 3D glasses work well with passive televisions. Active glasses have been criticized for their weight in the past. Later glasses are lighter than many passive glasses, have a battery life of over one hundred hours and are proving to be exceptionally reliable.


Will the active 3D glasses work with passive 3D tv We have an LG passive 3D TV and we need extra ones My friend has an active 3D TV though so I was wondering if I can just borrow his glasses.?

Active 3d glasses will not work with passive 3d TV. Active glasses use shutter 3D technology that requires a power source to power the lenses in the glasses. Passive glasses don't have electronics or batteries. Hence, they are lighter and more comfortable. Active and passive TV work using completely different technology and thus active glasses cannot work on passive TV.

Is the way sugar enters a cell if there is more sugar outside the cell than inside the cell passive or active?

Passive (just guessing)
