Answer:

B lymphocytes have surface antibodies present in them and they secrete antibodies, while T lymphocytes do not have surface antibodies in them and they secrete lymphokines. B lymphocytes form 20% of the lymphocytes and they form plasma and memory cells while T cells are 80% of the lymphocytes.

Hope this helps!
