What is the difference between active immunity and passive
immunity?

Answer Posted / emma

Active immunity is form the antigens that our body produces
whereas passive antibodies are form another source e.g,
vaccinations. Becasue the passive immunity is from another
source the body recognises it as alien to the body and
destroies it. However active immunity also produces memory
cells alongside the antibodies and means the body can fight
the disease if infected again.

now that answer is correct.
