What type of immunity exists when a person is exposed to an antigen and subsequently makes antibodies against the antigen?

Acquired immunity is the type of immunity that exists when a person is exposed to an antigen and subsequently makes antibodies against the antigen.

Immunity is the defense mechanism of the nervous system to avoid pathogens affecting the body and making it sick. There are two major types of immunity: innate and acquired. Innate immunity is the kind of immunity present in the human body by birth. Whereas, acquired immunity is gained over time.

Acquired immunity specifically promotes the antibodies or lymphocytes to inhibit the action of pathogens when it encounters one. It is further categorized into two types: active and passive immunity.

Active immunity indulges in the primary response to a pathogen. It produces antibodies to fight against it and preserves some to fight against the same pathogen encountered for the second time. Passive immunity, in addition, involves the medications prescribed to enhance immunity.

To know more about acquired immunity, refer to the following link:

What the economic important of bacteria​
fgiga [73]
Bacteria play important roles in the global ecosystem.

The ecosystem, both on land and in the water, depends heavily upon the activity of bacteria. The cycling of nutrients such as carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur is completed by their ceaseless labor.

In an animal cell, what is the function of the lysosomes?
Alik [6]
<span><span><span>Release enzymes outside of the cell (exocytosis)</span>
which may serve the purpose of destroying materials around the cell.</span><span><span>Break-down 'digestion' of materials from inside the cell (autophagy)</span> 
i.e. by fusing with vacuoles from inside the cell. 
This could include digesting worn-out organelles so that useful chemicals locked-up in their structures can be re-used by the cell.</span><span><span>Break-down 'digestion' of materials from outside the cell (heterophagy)</span>
i.e. by fusing with vacuoles from outside the cell.
This could include breaking-down material taken-in by phagocytes, which include many types of white blood cells - also known as leucocytes. Specific mechanisms of heterophagy can be:<span><span>phagocytic - by which cells engulf extracellular debris, bacteria or other particles - only occurs in certain specialized cells</span><span>pinocytic - by which cells engulf extracellular fluid</span><span>endocytic - by which cells take-up particles such as molecules that have become attached to the outer-surface of the cell membrane.</span></span></span><span><span>Recycle the products of biochemical reactions that have taken place following materials being brought into the cell by endocytosis (general term for this 'recycling' function: biosynthesis) </span>
Different materials (chemicals) are processed in different ways, e.g. some structures may be processed/degraded within lysosomes and others are taken to the surface of the cell.</span><span>Completely break-down cells that have died (autolysis)</span></span>

In general, the functions of lysosomes involve breaking-down i.e. processing to 'make safe' or make use of, or removing from the cell e.g. by exocytosis, useless and potentially harmful materials such as old worn-out parts of the cell or potential threats such bacteria. Lysosomes can therefore be thought of as the rubbish disposal units within cel
