Serhud [2]

First of all, it is important to understand the difference between passive and active immunity.

Passive immunity is when we are given antibodies that were not produced by our own body (for example those transferred from mother to child, or those taken as part of medication or therapy - note that the former would be an example of naturally acquired passive immunity and the latter of artificially acquired passive immunity).

Active immunity, on the other hand, refers to antibodies that were produced by our own bodies due to exposure to a pathogen or part thereof - this can also be naturally acquired, such as when we are infected by a pathogen, or artificially, such as when we are vaccinated.

Given this information, what enabled Gina to fight the pathogen would be the second answer (antibodies she received from her mother), however we can also look at the other answers and discount them as false to be sure:

Answer 1 - high fever caused by a pathogen

The question states that Gina was able to fight off the pathogen before she got sick - a fever suggests that:

a) she is already sick

b) her body is launching its own immune response

Answer 3 - antibodies she received from a vaccination

The antibodies produced as a result of vaccination are produced by your own body (despite being stimulated artificially through exposure to the pathogen), thus this is not the correct answer.

Answer 4: inflammation caused by antibodies

This answer is incorrect due to the fact that antibodies do not directly cause inflammation.

Thus, the correct answer is the second one 'antibodies she received from her mother'.

Hope that helps :)

1.each of several hierarchical levels in an ecosystem, comprising organisms that share the same function in the food chain and the same nutritional relationship to the primary sources of energy.

A scavenger is an organism that mostly consumes decaying biomass, such as meat or rotting plant material. Many scavengers are a type of carnivore, which is an organism that eats meat. While most carnivores hunt and kill their prey, scavengers usually consume animals that have either died of natural causes or been killed by another carnivore.

Scavengers are a part of the food web, a description of which organisms eat which other organisms in the wild. Organisms in the food web are grouped into trophic, or nutritional, levels. There are three trophic levels. Autotrophs, organisms that produce their own food, are the first trophic level. These include plants and algae. Herbivores, or organisms that consume plants and other autotrophs, are the second trophic level. Scavengers, other carnivores, and omnivores, organisms that consume both plants and animals, are the third trophic level.

Nitrogen is converted from atmospheric nitrogen (N2) into usable forms, such as NO2-, in a process known as fixation. The majority of nitrogen is fixed by bacteria, most of which are symbiotic with plants. Recently fixed ammonia is then converted to biologically useful forms by specialized bacteria.
