Identify the immune response described as nonspecific or specific.

uses memory cells to fight off an infection from a pathogen
evident by a sneeze, cough, fever, or other physical symptom
recognizes antigens present on pathogens and attacks the pathogen with antibodies
builds immunity to specific diseases that had previously entered the body
does not target specific pathogens

Respuesta :

The answers to these questions are the following:

1. uses memory cells to fight off an infection from a pathogen: it is a specific response  

2. evident by a sneeze, cough, fever, or other physical symptom: it is a non-specific response  

3. recognizes antigens present on pathogens and attacks the pathogen with antibodies: it is a specific response  

4. builds immunity to specific diseases that had previously entered the body: it is a specific response

5. does not target specific pathogens: it is a non-specific response

On observing the given statements, the statement 1, 3 and 4 demonstrates the specific immune response. While statement 2 and 5 shows non-specific response.

What is specifc and non-specific immune response?

The immune system safeguards the body against the pathogens by instigating immune responses. The nonspecific and specific immune responses are the two kinds of immune responses instigated by the immune system.

The specific immune response safeguards the body against the particular pathogens, while the nonspecific immune response is similar for all the kinds of pathogens. The specific immune responses are produced by adaptive immunity, while non-specific immune responses are produced by the innate immunity.

In the given question, use of memory cells to fight against the infection from a pathogen is a kind of specific response. Sneeze, fever, cough, and other kinds of physical symptoms are the kind of non-specific response.

The building of immunity against the particular diseases, which had taken place previously is a kind of specific response. The non-targeting of specific pathogens is a kind of non-specific immune response.

Thus, statements 1, 3 and 4 denotes specific immune response, while statements 2 and 5 denotes non-specific immune response.
