What type of immunity provides lifetime immunity for the body against a specific pathogen?
Tems11 [23]


The type of immunity that provides lifetime immunity for the body against a specific pathogen is called  acquired immunity.  It is also referred to as adaptive or specific immunity.

Acquired  immunity is not present at  birth. it is learned. As a person's immune system encounters foreign substances (antigens) the components of acquired immunity learn the best way to attack each antigen and begin to develop a memory for that antigen. Acquired immunity is also called specific immunity because it tailors its attack to a specific antigen previously encountered. Its uniqueness lies in its ability to learn, adapt and remember.

Acquired immunity takes time to develop after first exposure to a new antigen. However afterward, the antigen is remembered, and subsequent responses to that antigen are quicker and more effective than those that occurred after first exposure. Memory of a particular antigen is kept by the B and T lymphocytes.

how does the gravitational force between two objects change if the distance between the objects increases?
zvonat [6]

Answer:

YES

Explanation:

As g ∝ 1/d² between two two components, further potential difference would result in lower gravitational pull. So the influence of gravitational pull among them also reduces as two things are isolated from the others.
