Answer:

The lymphocytes produce antibodies and other immune responses to fight with disease causing organisms, while antigens are foreign molecules that induce immune responses in the body.

Step-by-step explanation:

Immune system is an important part of the body, which helps the organisms to fight against diseases. The lymphocytes are a type of immune cells that include B-lymphocytes and T-lymphocytes.

B-lymphocytes produce antibodies that target antigens, present on microbes and help in their elimination by neutralizing them. T-lymphocytes release various cytokine molecules that produce immunity and kill various pathogens.

Antigens are foreign molecules that trigger immune response in hosts to produce antibodies. Antigens may be components of microbes, such as proteins and lipids present in bacteria or viruses or microbes themselves or non-living substances, such as drugs, toxins, and chemicals.

These are all part of the immune system, in which they locate for, detect, latch on, and destroy the invaders of your body before they cause you any harm. If these are very weak, you will get sick

hope this helps
