Answer / emma
Active immunity is form the antigens that our body produces
whereas passive antibodies are form another source e.g,
vaccinations. Becasue the passive immunity is from another
source the body recognises it as alien to the body and
destroies it. However active immunity also produces memory
cells alongside the antibodies and means the body can fight
the disease if infected again.
now that answer is correct.

Answer / vidhu
active immunity we get when an microbe enters to our
body..and the body starts behaving against it, producing
antibodies,but the passive immunity we get indirectly
through weak antigens or dead antigens in the form of
vaccines..and this immunity works when and active antigen
enters stimulating that immunity.
