Acquired Specific Immunity Involves the Response of ________

Question

Acquired specific immunity involves the response of ________.
A)skin barriers
B)B and T lymphocytes
C)lysozyme
D)mucous membranes
E)interferon

Accepted Answer

Acquired specific immunity involves the response of B and T lymphocytes. These lymphocytes are responsible for recognizing and responding to specific antigens, leading to the production of antibodies or the activation of other immune cells to target the invading pathogen.

The other choices (A, C, D, and E) are all involved in innate immunity, which is the first line of defense against pathogens but does not involve the specific recognition of antigens like acquired immunity does.
