Multiple Choice

Which of the following is NOT characteristic of the secondary immune response?

Slower response time compared to the primary response

Higher levels of specific antibodies are produced

Rapid and more robust response compared to the primary response

Involves memory cells that were generated during the primary response

Verified step by step guidance

Understand the primary and secondary immune responses: The primary immune response occurs when the immune system is first exposed to a pathogen, while the secondary immune response occurs upon subsequent exposures.

Identify the characteristics of the primary immune response: It typically has a slower response time and produces lower levels of antibodies as the immune system is encountering the pathogen for the first time.

Identify the characteristics of the secondary immune response: It is generally faster and more robust due to the presence of memory cells, which were generated during the primary response and allow for a quicker and more effective reaction.

Compare the options given in the problem: Analyze each statement to determine if it aligns with the known characteristics of the secondary immune response.

Determine which statement is NOT characteristic of the secondary immune response: The statement 'Slower response time compared to the primary response' contradicts the known faster and more robust nature of the secondary response, making it the correct answer.
