What type of response occurs more rapidly in order to help fight infections?Group of answer choicesPrimary ResponseSecondary Response

The type of response that occurs more rapidly in order to help fight infections is the Secondary Response.

Here's why:

1. Primary Response: This is the body's first encounter with an antigen, which is a substance that triggers an immune response. The primary response is slow because the immune system has to recognize the antigen, activate the appropriate immune cells, and start producing antibodies to fight the infection. This process can take several days to weeks.

2. Secondary Response: This occurs when the body encounters the same antigen for a second time. The immune system is able to respond more quickly and strongly because it "remembers" the antigen from the first exposure. Memory cells that were created during the primary response are activated, leading to a faster production of antibodies.

So, the secondary response is faster than the primary response in fighting infections.
