Active immunity requires exposure to the antigen, either naturally or artificially, in order for the immune system to build antibodies against it. Passive immunity does not require exposure to the antigen because the antibodies are obtained either naturally, through mother's milk, or artificially through an injection of a serum, such as that is used in antivenom for snake bites.

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.


Passive immunity is different from active immunity because passive immunity?

is temporary and does not involve the individual’s immune system producing antibodies. Instead, passive immunity provides ready-made antibodies obtained from another source, such as through injection of antibodies or transfer of antibodies from mother to fetus.


What is the defference between active transpors and passive transport?

Active transport requires energy input to move molecules against their concentration gradient, while passive transport moves molecules along their concentration gradient without energy input. Active transport is typically carried out by transport proteins, such as pumps, while passive transport can occur through simple diffusion or facilitated diffusion.
