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.

Is the mothers breastfeeding milk an active acquired immunity b passive natural immunity C passive acquired immunity D active natural immunity?

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.


Is the mothers breastfeeding milk - an active acquired immunity b passive natural immunity C passive acquired immunity D active natural immunity?

D. Active natural immunity. Breastfeeding provides infants with natural antibodies from the mother's milk, which helps to protect the baby through active immunity.


Compare and contrast active and passive immunity and give a rea life example?

Active immunity is produced by the body's immune system in response to exposure to a pathogen or vaccine, leading to the production of memory cells for long-term protection. Passive immunity is acquired from an external source such as mother to infant transfer of antibodies or through medical intervention, providing immediate but short-lived protection as it does not generate memory cells. A real-life example is receiving a vaccination (active immunity) to develop immunity to a specific disease compared to receiving pre-formed antibodies through a blood transfusion (passive immunity) for immediate but temporary protection.


Explain passive humoral immunity and give in your response?

Passive humoral immunity is the transfer of pre-formed antibodies from one individual to another. This can occur naturally, such as when a newborn receives antibodies from their mother through breastfeeding, or artificially through the administration of antibody-containing products like immunoglobulin injections. Passive immunity provides immediate protection but is temporary because the transferred antibodies eventually degrade in the recipient's body.


What is one source of passive immunity?

One source of passive immunity is maternal antibodies transferred to the baby through breastmilk. These antibodies help protect the baby against infections until their own immune system fully develops.

What specific type of acquired immunity that a fetus obtains from maternal antibodies that cross the placenta is called?

Passive immunity because the antibodies pass from mother to fetus.


What is an example of passive immunity?

Passive immunity happens when the antibody is already given to you. For example, the antibody that can be passed from mother to child. That is a natural passive immunity. The vaccine given to you when had rabies is also an example of passive immunity because again, what is given to you is already an antibody.


Is antivenom passive or active immunity?

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 the differences between active and passive immunity?

One is active and one is passive


What are the ways to receive passive immunity?

Natural passive immunity can be reached through the passing of mother's antibodies through the placenta or through milk during breastfeeding. These types of passive immunity only last for about 3 months after birth. Artificial passive immunity can be reached through intravenous injection of antibodies.


Why are memory cells not produced in passive immunity?

Memory cells are not produced in passive immunity because passive immunity involves the transfer of pre-formed antibodies, either naturally (e.g., from mother to fetus) or artificially (e.g., through administration of antibodies). Since memory cells are generated through exposure to antigens, which triggers an immune response and the formation of memory cells, passive immunity does not involve this process.


Do you develop passive immunity when you receive antibodies from another person?

Yes, passive immunity is developed when you receive antibodies from another person.


What kind of immunity Maternal antibodies are an example of?

passive immunity


How do you acquire passive immunity?

You can get passive immunity through a placenta when you are a fetus in your mothers womb or you can be injected with antibodies that have most likely been forced to grow due to somebody putting a disease in an animal such as a rabbit. Unfortunately passive immunity does not last very long because the antibodies are detached from their white blood cells which keeps them a live and also stores the antibodies in their memory so you can not become immune forever via passive immunity as it is only passive e.g. short lived/quick
