51
are all protists pathoens
most of them are
52
what allows pathogens to enter the body
any opening
53
what happens if pathogens enter your mouth
it will go into the stomach and the stomach acid will kill the pathogen
54
what is the name of the acid that the stomach acid is made of
hydrochloric acid
55
what happens if patogens enter the eyes
our tears and sweat contain enzymes that destroy the pathogen (lysosozmes)
56
what kind of barrier is your skin
a physical barrier thaat prevents pathogens from enetering the body
57
what happens if pathogens enter the nose
the muscus will trap the pathogen in your nose and trachea, cillia will sweep the muscus into your throat and you will cough it out
58
what are cillia
hair like structures in the trachea
59
what cells are used as the bodies defence system
white blood cells
60
what are the names of the two types of white blood cells
lymphocytes and phagocytes
61

to engulf and digest the pathogens
62
can phagocytes change shaoe
yesss
63
what are phagocytes
nonspecific defensive system and deal with any pathogens this way
64
are lymphocytes specific or non specific
specific
65
what are lymphocytes
the specific immune system
66
what is the role of a lymphocyte
to produce antibodies that are specific to the pathogen, destory the pathogen and produice antitoxins to neutralise the tozzins produced by the pathogens
67
what is an antibody
a protein thatg destroys pathogens and must be specific to the pathogen
68
where are antigens found
on pathogens and all cells
69
what is an antigen
a protein
70
what are anti toxins
chemicals
71
the shape of the antibody and antigen are....
complemen tary
72
what can't phagocytes do by themselves
destroy the antigen
73
what must the antibody be
specific to the antigen of the pathogen
74
what is active immunity caused by
you getting the disease and developing immunity for the disease
75
what is herd immunity
when most of the people in a community are vaccinated
76
if there is herd immunity then what happens
you are less likely to get disease when someone gets it and passes it on to those who have not been vaccinated
77
what happens when uou are inject with a vaccine
1. the lymphtocytes will produce antibodies that are specific to that pathogen
2. the lympocytes will then destory the pathogen
3. memory lymphotcytes are stored in blood and remeber the correct antitbodies
4. this is so that when you are infected with the real disease antibodies are porduced rapudly in large quantity to destory the pathogen
5. this leads to passive immunity
78
are viruses living organisms
no
79
what can viruses not reproduce without
a host cell
80
what are the two types of life cycles of a vircus
lysogenic and lyptic
80
how does a lyptic life cycle of a virus work
1. the virus attaches itself to a living host cell and injects its genetic matriel
2. host cell follows the viral genetic instructions by using its proteins and enzymes to make viral copies
3. the host membrane will either rupture or lyses
4.this releases many viruses which can infect other cells
81
how does a lysogenic life cycle of a virus work
1. the virus attaches itself to a living host cell and injects its genetic matriel
2. viral dna becomes encourparated into the bacterial dna
3. when the host replicates, the viral dna is also replicated
4.many cell diviosn occur but the viral dna remains dormant
5. a trigger causes the viral dna to seperate and enter the lytic cycle
82
what is an STI
it is passed from one person to another through unprotected sex
83
what does STI stand for
sexually transmittedd infection
84
what are threetypes of ways that plants can defend themselves aganist disease
chemically, physically, mechanically
85
how do plants defend themselves aganist disease mechanically
1. thorns can make plants painful if eaten by herbivores
2. touch can make mimosia leaves curl which frightens animals
86
how do plants defend themselves aganist disease physicallhy
bark,thick waxy cuticles, tough cellulose walls defend the plant from pathogen entry
87
how do plants defend themseleves aganist disease chemically
antibacterial and other toxic chemicals come from the plant
88
what are three visible signs that a plant is diseased
1. unusal growth
2. spots or discoloured leaves
3. malformed leaves or stems
89
plants suffer from a range of infections, what are these infections caused by
pathogens or insect pests
90
what four tools do you use to identify plant disease
1. gardening manuals
2.garding websites
3. test kits containing monoclonal antibodies
4. taking infected plants to the labatory to identify the pathgoen
91
why do plants often appear diseased
because they look unhealthy
92
what can be the cause of plants looking unhealthy
enviromental causes such as ion defieciencies in soil that the plants have grown in
93
what is a plant pathologist
a scientist that specialises in plant disease
94
how do plant pathoglists identify the likely pathogen
by analysing the distribution of plants with a disease
95
what do air borne pathogens cause
a randomm distribution of diseased plants
96
if plants in a very localised area have become diseased , the pathogen resposible for the disease woulld be found where?
in the soil
97
when a plant is infected by a pathogen, how can the pathogen's dna be identifited
from plant tissue samples sent for diagnostic testing in the labatory
98
what are the disadvantages of vaccinations
1. there are risks that comes with vaccinations
2. some people gain side effects as a risk of vaccination
3. people do not like vaccinations
99
what are the advantages of vaccinations
1. vaccinations are cheaper than treating a seriously ill person
2. when fewer people are vaccinated the number of cases of disease decreases
3. if enough people in a community are vaccinated aganist a pathogen, it makes it difficult for the disease to spread because there are so few suceptible people left to infect
100
what is immunisation
when a person becomes resistant to a pathogen
101
what can immunosation be a result of
1. natural exposure to a pathogen
2. artifical exposure by being given a vaccination that contains a pathogen
102
what do both natural exposure to a pathogen or artifical exposure by being given a vaccination that contains a pathogen require
active immunity
103
what is active immunity
when the body produces antibodies as a response
104
when does passive immunity occur
1. when a baby reciveves antibodies from the mothers milk
2. when an injection contains antibodies
105
what are antibiotics
drugs that help cure antibacterial disease by only inhibiting cell processes in the infective bacteria inside the body, without affecting the host organism
106
what is an example of an antibiotic
penicillin
107
what can antibiotics be used to treat
viral pathogens
108
diffrent bacterial infections need what kind of antibiotics
diffrent
109
what has greatly reduced deaths
the use of antibiotics
110
why is it difficult to develop drugs to kill virus
because they have to both kill the virus and not harm the body tissues because viruses live and produce in cells
111
why would a doctor not prescribe antibiotics for viral infections
because they would not work
112
what are two examples of painkillers
1. sterioids
2. inflammatory medicines
113
what kind of medicine releaves the symptoms of viral infections
painkillers
114
what are symptoms of viral infections

binary fission
117
what is binary fission
a type of cell divison where two identical cells are formed
118
what does aseptic mean
sterile
119
what is a monoclonal antibody
one specific antibody
120
what is the process of monoclonal antibodies
1. inject a mouse with the pathogen/ antigen for that particular disease
2.the lympocytes of mouse will produce antibodies specific to that pathogen/ antigen
3. harvest the lympocytes from the spleen of the mouse
4. fuse the lympocyte with a myloma cells
5. this is to make the hybridoma cells
6. screen the antibodies coming from the hydridomia cells is specific to the pathogen that was injected into the mouse
7. if it is the right antibody, allow hybridoma to clone and make many more cells
8. as it clones and mkes more cells it produces monoclonal antibodies
121
what are hybridoma cells made up of
lympocyte and myloma
122
what is a myloma cell
tumour cell
123
what does screen mean
check
124
what is an abbreviation for monoclonal antibodies
mABs
125
what are the uses for monoclonal antibodies
1. diagnose diseases
2. monitor and measure drug levels
3, reseach
4 treat disease
126
how do monoclonal antibodies diagnose diseases
antibodies are specific to the antigen of pathogen so it will fit to show a positive test
127
how do monoclonal antibodies monitor and measure drug levvels
homrones in drugs will be specific to the monoclonal antibodies, so it will fit and bind to it
128
what are two ways the monoclonal antibodies treat disease
1. you can attatch the toxin/radiation/ drugs to the monoclonal antibody, inject the person with monoclonal antibody, the monoclonal antibody will fit onto the antigen and the antibody will destory the antigen of the pathogen
2. send monoclonial antibodies to fit onto the antigen for the growth hormone so that the disease will stop growing
129
what diseease can be diagnosed by monoclonial antibodies
HIV, STDs and preganacy
130

to kill bacteria
131
what is e.coli
is a bacteria that lives in gut, helps in digestion
132

133
what is body temperature
37 degrees
134
how do you work out the inhibition zone
1. find the diamter
2. divide by 2 to find the radius
3.pie x r x r
4. round to 2.dp if not told
135
the bigger the inhibition zone
the better the antibiotics
136
how do you culture in microogrnaims ( core practical)
1. sterlise agar plate by heating in a pressure cooker at very high temperature
2, sterlise working area to insure no other microorhanism by using antibacterial
3. use flame from bunsen burner to kill microoorhanism in air around the working area
4. flame the tip of the e.coli bottle to destroy any microoganisms on it
5.flame the inoculating loop to kill any microohanisms on it
6. allow the inoculating loop to cool down in sterile area to prevent the loop fronm killing the bacteria, before dipping it into the bottle
7. spread the bacteria on the agar plate by opening the agar plate slightly and closing it immediately
8.tape the two ends of the petridish to prevent the lid from falling off and to prevent micrroorganims from leaving the agar plate
9. put the plate upside down in an incubatoe for the microbes to grow at 25 degrees
10. this is to prevent harmful pathogen from growing in the agar

142
when should preclinical trials be carried out
before the humans are allowed to take the drugs
143
if preclinical trials are successful, what happens next
the new drug will proceed to clinical testing
144
what are the stages of clinical trials
1. Healthy volunteers try small doses of the drug to check it is safe and has no side effects
2. A small number of patients try the drug at a low dose to see if it works
3. A larger number of patients take the new drug and different doses are trialled to find the optimum dose
4. A double blind trial will occur to see how effective the new drug is. The patients are divided into groups
145
what is a double blind trial
it is carried out on patients who have the disease to make sure that it is actually the drug which is having an effect on the patients and not anything else.
146

Diet, smoking, lack of exercise
176
How is diet a risk factor to cardiovascular disease
A diet high in saturated fats can increases the levels of LDL
177
What is LDL
Low density lipoproteins - cholesterol plus a protein that. can cause atherosclerosis
178
Explain how smoking is a risk factor to cardiovascular disease
1.Tobacco smoke damages the lining of arteries leading to atherosclerosis
2. Carbon monoxide in tobacco smoke reduces the amount of oxygen in the blood so the heart has to pump harder
3. The nictine in tobacco some causes the heart to beat faster and raises blood pressure
179
How is lack of exercise a risk to lack of exercise
Exercising regularly lowers blood pressure and stress
180
What is a lifestyle risk factor for type 2 diabetes
Obesity
181
What is type 2 diabetes
When the cells in the body are less sensitive to insulin so the body cannot control the concentration of glucose in the blood correctly
182
How does obesity increase your likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes
The more fat you have around your abdomen
183
What two conditions is alcohol a risk factor for
Liver disease and brain function damage
184
How is alcohol a risk factor of liver disease
1. The liver breaks down toxins in alcohol
2. If you have too much alcohol, the first stage of liver disease is when the liver becomes fatty
3. Eventually cirrhosis of the liver develops if you Continue to drink too much alcohol
185
How is alcohol a risk factor of brain function damage
1. Alcohol effects the way never cells in the brain work and the cells then become damaged.
2. The brain mass also shrinks
186
What can smoking cause
Lung disease
187
What is COPD
A group of lung diseases that make it difficult for people to move air in and out of the lungs
188
What are the two types of COPD
Bronchitis and emphysema
189
What is bronchitis
It is when the bronchi and bronchioles are inflamed and excess muscus is produced
190
What is emphysema
This affects the alveoli. The walls are broken down and they trap excess air
191
What is the main cause of COPD
Smoking
