Explanation:
1. A toxoid is not an organism but a chemical produced by the organism. The toxoid has been treated to weaken its toxic effect.
2. The immunization contains organisms that are dead and incapable of reproducing.
3. This immunization contains live but weakened organisms. These organisms can mutate and reproduce and may cause disease in a weakened immune system.
4. An attenuated vaccine is the same as a live virus vaccine.
5. Immunoglobulins are the antibodies produced by others against a disease. They do not contain the live or killed virus.
