A) occurs after the primary response has activated NK cells.
B) provides better protection than the primary response.
C) is less effective in antibody production.
D) produces different antibodies than those produced in the primary immune response.
E) does not protect the body after the first exposure.

Secondary Response

The immune system's enhanced reaction to a previously encountered antigen, characterized by a more rapid and potent response.

Memory Response

Memory response refers to the immune system's ability to quickly recognize and react to previously encountered pathogens, providing faster and more effective protection.

Antibody Production

The process by which the immune system creates antibodies, which are proteins that counteract pathogens like bacteria and viruses.

  • Distinguish between the immune system's primary and secondary memory responses.
