Zoology
SECTION-A
1. Read the passage given below and answer the
following questions:
When a host is exposed to antigens, which may be
in the form of living or dead microbes or other
proteins, antibodies are produced in the host body.
This type of immunity is called active immunity.
Active immunity is slow and takes time to give its
full effective response. Injecting the microbes
deliberately during immunisation or infectious
organisms gaining access into body during natural
infection induce active immunity. When ready-
made antibodies are directly given to protect the
body against foreign agents, it is called passive
immunity.
(i) Colostrum provides the infant with
(1) auto immunity
(2) passive immunity
(3) active immunity
(4) innate immunity
(ii) The formation of antibodies within our body
is called
(1) passive immunity
(2) active immunity
(3) innate immunity
(4) acquired immunity
(iii) The term ‘active immunity’ means
(1) increasing rate of heart beat
(2) increasing quantity of blood
(3) resistance developed after disease
(4) resistance developed before disease
(iv) The treatment of snake-bite by antivenin is an
example of
(1) artificially acquired active immunity
(2) artificially acquired passive immunity
(3) naturally acquired passive immunity
(4) specific natural immunity.
