Final answer:

Haptens are small molecules that cause harmful immune responses when attached to carrier molecules.


Explanation:

Haptens are troublesome small molecules that can mount harmful attacks as they are unable to elicit immune responses by themselves but can trigger allergic reactions when attached to carrier molecules. These incomplete antigens can lead to immune responses like severe rashes from urushiol found in poison ivy plants or allergic reactions to penicillin.
