Question 4

response to an initial antigen exposure

Question 7

adaptive response to exposure to any type of antigen

Answer 7

Active Immunity

Question 8

small quantities of living, dead, or altered microbes, small quantities of toxins, or harmless antigenic molecules derived from pathogen or its toxins are injected into the body, resulting in a primary immune response, including the production of memory cells
