Q

how do viruses make you feel ill

A

they li8ive isnide your celss and replicate themselves using cell machinery to producie many copies of themselves and the cell will evntually burst releasing all new viruses . this cell damage will make you feel ill

Q

bacteria dieases

A

salmonella and gonorrhea

17
Q

how can the spread of dieases decrease

A

by being hygienic
destroying vectors
isolating infected indiviuals
vaccinations

18
Q

how does your skin act as a barrier to pathogens

A

it secrets antimrocobical sustances which kill pathogens

19
Q

how does your stomach pretect against pathogens

A

it produces hyrdorchloirc acid which kills pathogens

20
Q

how does your trachae and bronchi pretect against pathogens

A

they are lined with cillia which are ahir like structures whoch waft mucus up to the back of your throat

21
Q

how can your immune system attack pathogens

A

it has white blood cells

22
Q

how do white blood cells killl pathogens

A

cosum trhem and produce antibodies

23
Q

how do white blood cells consume pathogens

A

theyu engulf foreign cells and digest them

24
Q

what is phagocyttosis

A

when white blood cells van engulf foriegn cells and digest them

25
Q

how do white blood cells produce antibodies

A

when wgite blood cells come across a foreign antigen they will start producing porteins calles antigen so they can lock o=unto the invading cells so they can be found and destroyed by other white cells . . and then if infected with the same pathogen the antibodies will kill the patjogen

26
Q

what are vaccinations

A

infecting a dead or inactive pathogen and these carry antigens and your body will porduce antibodies to attack them

27
Q

postives of vaccinations

A

have helped a lot of communicable dieases

epidemics can be prevnted if a large percentage of the population is prevented

28
Q

cons of vaccinations

A

they don’t always work

you can have a bad reaction to them

29
Q

how cqn bacteria become resistant some bacteria

A

if you have an infections some bacteria can become reistsnt . so when treating it some bacteria will stay behind . thr individual will survive and reproduce

30
Q

three main stages in drug testing

A

1-testing it on humn cells and tissue
testing the drug on live animals
clinnical trails on volunteers

31
Q

what are antibodies produced by

A

a white blood cell called b-lymphocyet

32
Q

what are monoclonal antibodies

A

produced from lots of clones of a single white blood cell.

33
Q

how are monoclonal antibodies made

A

mouse is injected with an intigen
b-lymphocyte taken away from the mouse
they make hybridoma cells.
it divides quickly to produce lots of clones that porduce the monoclonal antiboid=es

34
Q

lytic cell division

A

viruses attaches unto the cell
viruse inject genetic materail unto the cell
viral gentic material froms a circle
new viral genetic material makes proteins
geneitc material and porteins are produced
cell undergo cell lyses
viruse is released into the bloood an dbind unto nw cells and undergoes the rocess agin

35
Q

lysogenic life cyle

A

viruse attavhes into the bacterial cells
injects viral genetic material
bind viral dna and inserts into the bacterial dna undergo binary fission where bacteria reproduces replicating viral genetic material
viral generic material can seperate frim baceria dna
lytic pathway
