B5 Flashcards
communicable
spread
viruses bacteria parasites fungi
uncommunicable
cant be spread
eg asthma
cholera
bacterium
diarrhoea
contaminated water
clean water
tuberculosis
bacterium
coughing+lung damage
thru air when others cough
avoid crowds,good hygene,sleep alone,well ventilated homes
maleria
protist
damage to red blood cells+sever cases liver
mosquitoes=vectors
mosquitoe net,insect repellent
stomach ulcers
bacterium
stomach pain,nausea,vomiting
oral transmission
clean water,hygene living conditions
ebola
ebola virus
haemorrhagic fever
via body fluids
isolating infected ppl,sterilising
chalara ash deback
ash tree
fungus
leaf loss,bark lesions
carried thru air by wind
removing infected trees,not moving ash trees
host cells
living cells viruses effect
lytic pathway
1.virus attaches itself to specific host cell+injegts its genetic material into them
2.uses protien+enzymes in host cell to replicate its genetic material+produce compinents of new virus
3.viral components assemble
4.host cell splits open->releasing new viruses->infects more cells
lysogenic pathway
1.infected genetic material incorporated into host genome(dna)
2.viral genetic material gets replicated along with host dna everytime host cell divides->but virus dormant so no new viruses made
3.trigger causes viral genetic material to leave the genome+enter lythuc pathway
stis
infevtions that spread thru sexual contact including sexual intercoyrse
chlamydia
bacterium
only reproduce in a host cell
can result in infertility
reduced by wearing condom,screening individuals,avoiding sexual contact
hiv
kills wbc
leads to aids
immune system fails
spread via bodily fluids
prevent by condom,svoid sharing needles,bottle feeding,screening,proper treatemnt
where can plants catch diseases from
1.micro organisms eg fungi
2.larger organisms eg insects
3.deficiency diseases->nitrates,magnesium ions
nitrate deficiency
lack of protiens
reduced growth
magnesium ion deficiency
lack of chlorophyll
not enough photosynthesis
yellow leaves
some commin symptoms in plang diseases
lumps
decay
discolouration of leaves
malformed stems/leaves
how to diagnose plant disease
observations
plant patholgist
plang manyel
trail n error
plant physical defences
waxy cuticle
celluose cell walls
layers of dead cells (bark)
plang defences chemical
chemicals that plant can secrete
anti microbial->kill fungi+bac
poisons->kill insects
plant defences mechanical
thorns/horns->stop animals eating or touching
curling or drooping leaves->if insects land on them
physical human barriers
skin->to stop pathogens, if damaged=seal cuts to keep microorganisms out
hairs+mucus in nose->trap pathogens
cillia->waft mucus up the bavk of throat so it can be swalloed
chemical human barriers
stomach produces hydrochloric acid->kills pathogens thats seallowed
eyes produzw lysozymes(tears)->kills bacteria on surface of eye
