Worked practice questions

Antibodies are produced by

  1. red blood cells
  2. platelets
  3. B lymphocytes
  4. neutrophils
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. B lymphocytes

B lymphocytes (B cells) differentiate into plasma cells that produce antibodies — proteins that bind to specific antigens and mark pathogens for destruction. T cells handle cell-mediated immunity.

Antibodies passed from a mother to her infant through breast milk give the infant

  1. active immunity, lifelong
  2. passive immunity, short-lived
  3. no immunity
  4. innate immunity only
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. passive immunity, short-lived

Mother's antibodies (passed via colostrum and breast milk) give the baby passive immunity — protective but short-lived, because the baby isn't making them. Bridges the gap until the baby's own immune system develops.

Vaccination provides protection against future infection mainly by

  1. weakening the pathogen on contact
  2. creating memory B and T cells specific to the pathogen
  3. destroying the body's antibodies
  4. preventing pathogens from entering the body
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. creating memory B and T cells specific to the pathogen

Vaccines expose the immune system to antigens, producing memory B and T cells. On real exposure, these memory cells trigger a fast, strong secondary response — usually clearing the pathogen before disease develops.
