Question

multiple choice question
because adaptive defenses exhibit memory, when reexposed to the same pathogen, the body reacts how?

more slowly to the pathogen

more quickly to the pathogen

need help? review these concept resources.

Explanation:

Adaptive defenses (like the immune system's adaptive immunity) have memory cells. When re - exposed to the same pathogen, these memory cells allow the body to recognize the pathogen faster and mount a response more quickly than the first exposure. So the body reacts more quickly to the pathogen.

Answer:

B. More quickly to the pathogen (assuming the second option is labeled B, if we follow the common multiple - choice labeling where the first option could be A and the second B. If no labels, the option "More quickly to the pathogen" is the correct one)
