Answer 2

BIOLOGY

Answer:

Antibodies are a type of proteins produced by our immune system when antibiotics are injected to our body to prevent microbes from entering our body. They immunize our body from microbes and infectious diseases.

Explanation:

Antibiotics contain dead or weakened microbes of a specific disease that are injected to our body. In response to them, our body produces antibodies that kill these microbes and remain in our blood. When the microbes of the same disease enter our body sometime in the future, these antibodies prohibit from causing any diseases.

In simple words, we can say that antibodies are proteins produced in response to antigens (pathogens).
