State the pathogen that causes rose black spot
Fungal pathogen - diplocarpon rosae
1 of 13
Explain why plants with black spot do not grow properly
The plant has a reduction in photosynthesis and there is less growth
2 of 13
How can black spot be treated?
Chemical fungicides
3 of 13
What type of pathogen causes gonorrhoea ?
Bacterial
4 of 13
Suggest how the gonorrhoea pathogen causes disease
The pathogen releases toxins into the body which damage tissues
5 of 13
How can gonorrhoea be treated?
Antibiotics
6 of 13
Suggest one reason for rapid increase in the number of people diagnosed with gonorrhoea
Increases in STI testing, more research into the disease
7 of 13
How can a sexually active person reduce the risk of gonorrhoea ?
Use contraception during sexual intercourse
8 of 13
Explain how coughing and sneezing causes viruses to spread
Small droplets containing the virus are released into the air and breathed in by other people

How do viruses make you ill?
Viruses take over cells and reproduce. They can damage the cells and/or destroy them.

Adaptations of the nose to prevent cold and flu from entering the body
Nose hairs prevent the harmful pathogens from entering the body through the nose
11 of 13
Explain the role of white blood cells in preventing disease
Phagocytes consume and break down the pathogens in order to destroy them. Lymphocytes create antitoxins to neutralise toxins and antibodies are created in order to fight off the infection for more than one exposure.
12 of 13
Suggest reasons for differences in the woman’s response to the 1st and 2nd exposure to the pathogen
First exposure - the pathogen is foreign and time is needed to create a sufficient amount of antibodies to kill the pathogens. Second exposure - the lymphocytes remember the pathogen and can create antibodies quickly.
