The type of immunity resulting from the injection of ready-made antibodies is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The type of immunity resulting from the injection of ready-made antibodies is:
A. Innate immunity
B. Active immunity
C. Passive immunity
D. Cell-mediated immunity
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Passive immunity is acquired by receiving pre-formed antibodies from another source, providing immediate but temporary protection. Examples: antivenom, immune globulin injections, and maternal antibodies. Active immunity is generated by the body's own immune system (infection or vaccination). Innate is non-specific, cell-mediated is T-cell based.

Question #1
The bond that joins amino acids together in a protein is called a:
A. Peptide bond
B. Phosphodiester bond
C. Glycosidic bond
D. Hydrogen bond

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
A peptide bond is a covalent bond formed between the carboxyl group (-COOH) of one amino acid and the amino group (-NH₂) of another, releasing a water molecule (condensation reaction). Glycosidic bonds link monosaccharides, phosphodiester bonds link nucleotides in DNA/RNA, hydrogen bonds stabilize secondary structures. Peptide bonds create the polypeptide backbone.
