Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What makes the Adaptive Defense System different from the Innate Defense System?
A
It has memory.
B
It is the first line of defense.
C
It does not act upon antigens.
D
All of These
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -While the innate immune response is immediate, the adaptive immune response is not. However, the effect of the adaptive immune response is long-lasting, highly specific, and is sustained long-term by memory T cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Adaptive immunity, on the other hand, is antigen-dependent and antigen-specific; it has the capacity for memory, which enables the host to mount a more rapid and efficient immune response upon subsequent exposure to the antigen.

Detailed explanation-3: -Memory is a characteristic recognized within both the innate and adaptive arms of the immune system. Although the mechanisms and properties through which innate and adaptive immune memory are induced are distinct, they collude to improve host defense to pathogens.
