Antibodies are produced when the body is exposed to antigens.

During an initial encounter with a foreign antigen, the body's immune system namely the adaptive arm of the immune system, produces memory cells, a group of special lymphocytes that retain and store memory of the antigen.

On a second encounter with the same kind of antigen, the immune system "remembers" the antigen and mounts a rapid, specific and vigorous immune response against the antigen. This response includes the production of massive amounts of antibodies very specific to the antigen.

The antibodies effectively neutralize the antigen and facilitate its destruction.

Identify a structure other than a cell wall or a vacuole that might be found in a plant cell but not in an animal cell. explain
enot [183]
One structure that can be found is most plant cells is chloroplast. A plant cell may have around 0 to 20 chloroplast, depending on their location in plant or their function.

Chloroplast is the structure that photosynthesis occurs. Photosynthesis is the method that plant make food for themselves. They turn sunlight into food such as starch.

Plants are autotrophs, which means they make food themselves, they don't need food from other sources like animals. Therefore, chloroplast is not found in animal cells because we are heterotrophs, we feed on other food.
