Which of the following is a characteristic of innate immunity?
Correct Answer: Innate immunity provides an immediate response to pathogens.
- Step 1: Understand what innate immunity is. It is the body's first line of defense against pathogens (germs).
- Step 2: Recognize that innate immunity responds quickly to any pathogen that enters the body.
- Step 3: Compare innate immunity to adaptive immunity. Adaptive immunity takes longer to respond and is specific to particular pathogens.
- Step 4: Note that innate immunity does not have memory, meaning it does not remember past infections like adaptive immunity does.
