Question 3 6 pts In the graph below, why is the peak for the secondary immune response higher than the peak for the primary immune response? 6 secondary immune response secondary exposure Oinitial exposure primary immune response Time O The primary response is not responding to large amounts of pathogen. The secondary response is responding to larger amounts of pathogen. The first exposure to the pathogen trains the cells to respond faster and stronger upon subsequent exposures. 8 The secondary response responds to and fights off many different types of pathogens 0

Explanation / Answer

Answer:- The correct option is C. The training of the cell mentioned here is the development of memory B cells during the primary infection. Memory B cells have the very important function to identify and make antibodies against any pathogen upon first exposure so that it can rapidly recognize the pathogens during the subsequent attacks and produce antibodies in large quantities to neutralize it quickly and in a very strong manner. This is why secondary immune response has higher peak of concentration of antibodies.
