Practise IB Biology HL 3.2.4 by analysing immune-response evidence and distinguishing innate from adaptive defence.
Adaptive immunity leads to cells that are infected by viruses being killed, resulting in immune memory which is the basis of vaccination.
Distinguish between innate and adaptive immune response.
The graph shows the magnitude of the immune response after infection or after vaccination over time.

OR
different pathogens are all responded in the same way
c.
born with
acquired;
