Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which cells are primarily responsible for the production of antibodies?
  • Step 1: Understand what antibodies are. Antibodies are proteins that help the immune system fight off infections.
  • Step 2: Learn about B cells. B cells are a type of white blood cell that plays a crucial role in the immune response.
  • Step 3: Know that B cells are activated when they encounter an antigen, which is a substance that triggers an immune response.
  • Step 4: Once activated, B cells start to produce antibodies specifically designed to target that antigen.
  • Step 5: Realize that these antibodies help neutralize or eliminate the pathogen (like bacteria or viruses) from the body.
