VCE Biology Question Thread

read somewhere- passive immunity is temporary- should i go with that thought if it asks to compare active and passive immunity? ty

good luck! chilling abit before going to bed at around 9:30.. i have never done that before ahah.

Sounds like a plan bro tbh I doubt anyone in doing VCE 3/4 has gone to bed before 10:30pm before hahaha

Thank-you for clarifying this!

No worries!

Could someone give me an example of:
- Passive natural immunity
- Active natural immunity
- Passive artificial immunity
- Active artificial immunity

I know one of them is breastfeeding, another is antivenom, another is getting an injection, and another is getting the actual pathogen yourself. It would be amazing if someone could clarify this for me! Thanks

GOOD LUCK FOR BIOLOGY TOMORROW EVERYONE!

Thank-you for sharing with me your wisdom over the past few weeks

It's shorter-lived, yep

No worries!

That's right, you got them in order. Except antivenom is artificial and breastfeeding is natural (obviously)

Quick question guys,
If we explain the processes, would it be okay to use dot points or preferable in a paragraph form?

Thanks

Is it essential that I familiarise myself with the Reception, Transduction, Induction process of signal transduction?

So
passive natural = breastfeeding,
active artificial = injection,
passive artificial = antivenom
active natural = getting the actual pathogen yourself
?

just wanted to say a massive thanks to everyone who helped me out with bio this year!
wishing everyone taking the exam tomorrow the best of luck and
may we all get that 100%

I'm pretty sure that:
Passive Natural - antibodies from mother
Active Natural - retained memory B Cells from fighting a pathogen
Passive Artificial - injected antibodies (i.e. antivenom)
Active Artificial - retained B Cells from a vaccine

Dot points are fine, I'm sure  I would especially use them in questions that ask you to explain a process
