Which is not part of your immune system's response to a disease-causing organism?
Answers:
A. Vaccination
B. Recognition
C. Disposal
D. Immunity
My answer: D
Nope. Doesn't a person's immune system provide immunity?
I think you'd better reconsider your answer. Immunity is internal to the body. Which of the choices is external?
I would say Recognition. @Ms. Sue @Steve
No. We've checked two of your answers. Now you're on your own.
Study your text and look up unfamiliar words in a dictionary.
Okay, thank you for your help.
The correct answer is D. Immunity.
To determine the correct answer, let's break down the options and understand each one in the context of the immune system's response to a disease-causing organism:
A. Vaccination: Vaccination is a method of acquiring immunity against a particular pathogen. It involves introducing a weakened or inactivated form of the pathogen into the body, stimulating an immune response, and creating memory cells that can recognize and destroy the pathogen more effectively in the future. Vaccination is indeed a part of the immune system's response to a disease-causing organism.
B. Recognition: Recognition is a crucial step in the immune response. Cells called lymphocytes recognize and identify foreign substances, such as pathogens or antigens, through their specific receptors. Once recognized, the immune system can mount an appropriate response to neutralize or eliminate the foreign invader.
C. Disposal: Disposal refers to the elimination of pathogens or infected cells from the body. Various immune mechanisms, such as phagocytosis by macrophages or cytotoxic T cell activity, are responsible for disposing of pathogens and infected cells.
D. Immunity: Immunity is the state of being protected against a specific disease or pathogen. Immune responses triggered by vaccines or previous infections can confer immunity to subsequent encounters with the same pathogen. Thus, immunity is indeed a component of the immune system's response to a disease-causing organism.
As we have determined, all of the options (A, B, C, and D) are actually part of the immune system's response to a disease-causing organism. Therefore, the correct answer would be none of the given options, as all are integral to the immune response.
