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.
