How fast does virus and bacteria produce?
Rapidly.
15 of 45
How does bacteria multiply?
Copying their DNA and Splitting into two every 20 minutes.
16 of 45
Why does bacteria make us ill?
Bacteria produces toxins which when they reproduce the amount of toxins increase and they go into the blood and damage tissue before the white blood cells can kill the bacteria.
17 of 45
How does viruses make us ill?
The virus attachs to the host cell,secures itself onto it and inject its dna into the cell.So many viruses are made in the cell and it takes over,then the virus reproduce rapidly.Then the host cells bursts and produce toxins and invade other cells.
18 of 45
What is a pathogen?
A pathogen is a microbe that spreads infectious disease which are harmful
19 of 45
What do the eyes/eyelashes do to stop pathogens from entering the body?
Eyelashed trap pathogens and tears kill pathogens and wash the eye.
20 of 45
hat does the nose do to stop pathogens from entering the body?
The nose traps particles which may contain pathogens.
21 of 45
What does the skin do to stop pathogens from entering the body?
The skin is a barrier and produces anti-micobial serections
22 of 45
What do the stomach do to stop pathogens from entering the body?
The stomach produces hydrochloric acid that kills the majority of pathogens that enter via the mouth
23 of 45
What do scabs do to stop pathogens from entering the body?
Platletes in the blood stick together at a wound to form the scab and seal the opening
24 of 45
What does the trachea and bronchi do to stop pathogens from entering the body?
The trachea and bronchi secrete mucus which traps pathogens and cilia that waft the mucus to the back of the throat where it is swallowed.
25 of 45
What do white blood cells produce which will destroy a micobe?
White blood cells produce antibodies.
26 of 45
Name 3 ways white blood cells destroy pathogens.
1.Antibodies 2.Antitoxins 3.Phagocytosis
27 of 45
What is an antibiotic and give one example?
A substance that kills the bacteria in the body. e.g. penicillin and aspirin.
28 of 45
Why is it important we have different types on antibiotic?
Because bacteria becomes resistant to antibiotics so new antibiotics need to be produced
29 of 45
Why cant antibiotics kill viral pathogens?
Because viruses go in cells and the antibiotics cant go in the cell to kill them.
30 of 45
Where do drugs traditionally come from?
Plants and micro-organisms
31 of 45
What plant does the heart drug digitalis originate from?
Foxglove.
32 of 45
What painkiller originates from willow.
Aspirin.
33 of 45
Where and who prouce most new drugs synthesized?
Labs and by pharmaceutical companies.
34 of 45
What is a placebo?
A fake drug that the pharmaceutical companies give participants to compare with the dugs results.
35 of 45
What type of pathogen is in vaccinations?
Weakened/dead pathogens.
36 of 45
What are antibodies?
Protein molecules that are produed by white blood cells.
37 of 45
What are monoclonal antibodies?
Identical copes/clones of antibodies.
38 of 45
What is a mylenoma?
A type of tumor cell
39 of 45
What is a hybridoma?
A combind lymphocyte and mylenoma.
40 of 45
Give three signs of a diseased plant?
Three things from:Discolouration,stunted growth,malformed stems,presence of pests ans spots.
41 of 45
Give a symptom of tobacco mosaic virus.
A distinct mosaic design and discolouration.
