35
Q

what is health

A

a state of physical and mental wellbeing

36
Q

what contributes to poor health

A

diet (e.g. starvation), stress (e.g. mental health) and life situations (e.g. living environment)

37
Q

what is a communicable disease

A

a disease that can be spread from person to person

38
Q

what is a non-communicable disease

A

a disease that can not be spread from person to person

39
Q

how can a disease spread (3 ways)

A

pathogens, an animal or object

40
Q

does correlation mean causation

A

no

41
Q

what is the risk factor

A

something that increases your chance of getting a disease

42
Q

what is incidence

A

the number of people diagnosed with a particluar disease in a particular population of people at a particular time

43
Q

what is prevalence

A

the number of people who have a particular condition regardless of whether they were just diagnosed or even whether they have been diagnosed at all

44
Q

what is mortality

A

the number of deaths per unit of population from a specific disease

45
Q

life-style risk factors

A

smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, poor diet and lack of exercise

46
Q

environmental risk factors

A

exposure to ionising radiation and exposure to carcinogens

47
Q

inherited risk factors

A

genes

48
Q

what is sampling

A

taking a sample - a smaller representation of the whole

49
Q

what is a pathogen

A

a microorganism that causes an infectious disease

50
Q

what can be pathogens

A

bacteria, viruses, fungi and protists but most are not

51
Q

Viruses are/aren’t alive. Viruses do/don’t have cells

A

aren’t, don’t

52
Q

how do bacteria multiply

A

by binary fission

53
Q

examples of airborne transmission

A

viruses and bacteria travel in droplets and fungi by airborne spores

54
Q

examples of direct touch

A

surfaces, skin, sexual transmission, wounds and needles

55
Q

examples of unclean food/water transmission

A

fungal spores in water splashes, raw and undercooked food, contaminated water and sewage

56
Q

how to protect against airborne transmission

A

wear masks, cover coughs/sneezes and isolation

57
Q

how to protect against direct touch

A

wash hands and avoid close contact

58
Q

how to protect against unclean food/water

A

only drink clean water and cook food properly

59
Q

why do bacteria make us feel ill

A

bacteria may produce poisons that damage tissues and make us feel ill

60
Q

why do viruses make us feel ill

A

viruses live and reproduce inside cells, causing cell damage

61
Q

do plants have an immune system

A

no

62
Q

can plants be affected by pathogens

A

yes

63
Q

what are plants vulnerable to

A

fungi, some bacteria and plant-eating insects

64
Q

how do insects damage plants (2 ways)

A

destroying plants directly and acting as vectors of disease

65
Q

how can you avoid plant pathogens spreading

A

isolation and burning, spreading plants out, use of chemicals and genetic modification

66
Q

what are plants’ chemical defenses against herbivores

A

antiseptic production, antibiotic chemical production, bitter tasting chemicals and insecticides

67
Q

how do plants avoid being eaten (5 ways)

A

poisons, hairs, thorns, mimicry and nastic response (moving when touched)

68
Q

what mineral deficiencies can plants have

A

nitrate ion deficiency and magnesium ion definciency

69
Q

what do plants need nitrate ions for

A

converting sugars into protein

70
Q

what do plants need magnesium ions for

A

making chlorophyll for photosynthesis

71
Q

how can you recognise diseases in plants

A

stunted growth, spots on leaves, areas of decay, abnormal growths, malformed stems and leaves, discolouration and seeing insects/eggs/larvae on plants

72
Q

how can you identify a plant’s disease

A

books with pictures/descriptions, the internet, laboratory tests - DNA/deficiencies and home test kits using monoclonal antibodies
