your answer is:

Active immunity is the type of immunity in which antibodies are produced against a specific antigen. This type of immunity takes time in order to produce enough antibodies to fight the pathogen. This immune response is long lived and is more effective. It results in the immunological memory which remains for life time. It is used for prophylaxis to increases body resistance. Passive immunity is a type of immunity in which antibodies are obtained from outside the body. An example includes antibodies obtained from mother through the  breast milk. This immune response is short lived and less effective. It does not have any immunological memory. It is used for treatment of acute infection.

Answer:

Active immunity

  • It is a type of acquired immunity in which the body produces its own antibodies against disease causing antigens.  
  • It is a type of acquired immunity in which readymade antibodies are transferred from one individual to another.    
  • It has a long lasting effect.
  • It is slow. It takes time in producing antibodies and giving responses.  
  • Injecting microbes through vaccination inside the body is an example of active immunity.  

Passive immunity  

  • It is a type of acquired immunity in which readymade antibodies are transferred from one individual to another.    
  • It does not have long lasting effect.
  • It is fast. It provides immediate relief.
  • Transfer of antibodies present in the mother’s milk to the infant is an example of passive immunity.
