What is the primary function of memory B cells?

  • To produce large amounts of antibodies upon re-exposure to a pathogen (correct)
  • To initiate the primary immune response against pathogens
  • To rapidly respond to any new pathogen encountered
  • To undergo affinity maturation and increase antibody specificity
  • How does affinity maturation contribute to the effectiveness of memory B cells?

  • It increases the production rate of antibodies
  • It enables memory B cells to recognize a broader range of pathogens
  • It enhances the ability of antibodies to neutralize pathogens (correct)
  • It allows memory B cells to persist longer in the body
  • What is the primary difference between the initial and memory immune responses in terms of antibody production?

  • The memory response produces antibodies more rapidly (correct)
  • The initial response produces more diverse antibodies
  • The initial response produces antibodies with higher affinity
  • The memory response generates a broader range of antibodies
