Q

discribe the lyctic pathway of virus

A

-virus attaches to cell receptors
-it injects its genome into host cells
-viruses use enzymes of host cell to duplicate its genome and proteins
-viral genome and proteins assemble, creating new viral particles
-the virus will lyse(burst) the cell to infect more

Q

what is the lysogenic pathway of virus

A

-virus attaches to cell receptors
-it injects genome into host cells
-it insets its genome into cells genome.it may then stay in this phase for a long time. every time cell duplicates, it duplicates the viral genome
-viral genome dettaches from cell genome and start assembling viral particles
-the virus will lyse( burst) the cell to infect more

22
Q

A

it comes from the bark of the cinchona tree and it is the main treatment for malaria

23
Q

what is aspirin

A

it is used to relieve pain and fever and it is developed from the bark of willow trees

24
Q

what are some examples of physical barriers against pathogens

A

Hairs, mucus, blood clots

25
Q

what are some examples of chemical barriers against pathogens

A

hydrochloric acid made in stomach, lysozyme found in tears

26
Q

how does your immune system attack pathogens

A

-when B-lymphocytes find a pathogen, they produce antibodies which will lock onto the pathogens anitgens. this means that is will be found and eaten
by phagocytes . then, memory lymphocytes will be produced to remember what type of antibody to make for the specific type of antigen.

27
Q

what is the formula for BMI

A

mass/height^2

28
Q

what is cardiovascular disease

A

this is when cholestrol builds up in your arteries, restricting blood flow

29
Q

what are stents?

A

they are tubes that are inserted in your arteries which keeps them open so blood can pass through. this reduces the risk of heart attack

diarrhoea
