• ability to provoke a faster, stronger response after initial exposure to a stimulus

• Self-knowledge

• Specificity

• ability to distinguish between many stimuli

Match the image to the type of immune response

​ (a)   are Y-shaped ​ (b)   that bind ​ (c)   ​ (d)   to induce an ​ (e)   against foreign objects such as bacteria and viruses ​

• antibodies
• proteins
• specific
• antigens
• immune response
• unfamiliar
• molecules
• unspecific

Why is immunological memory important to vaccination?

• The second exposure to a stimulus has a greater response than the first exposure

• All answers are correct

• They are the basis of why vaccinations work

• The second exposure to a stimulus has a faster response than the first exposure
