The two kinds of lymphocytes responsible for acquired immunity are B cells and:

Answer: T cells.

  • A Red blood cells
  • B Blood platelets
  • C T cells
  • D Mast cells

Correct answer: C. T cells

Explanation: B lymphocytes make antibodies and T lymphocytes mediate cell-mediated immunity.

Antibody (Y-shaped) Binding an Antigenconstant region (Fc)variable regionvariable regionantigenantigen2 identical heavy chains+ 2 identical light chains

An antibody is Y-shaped, with two identical antigen-binding sites at the tips of the variable regions - each shaped to recognise one specific antigen - while the constant (Fc) region at the base is recognised by immune cells to trigger further responses.

Concept context

Innate and adaptive immunity, B cells, T cells, antibodies, vaccines, and immune disorders. Critical for NEET.
