Q

Name the three things white blood cells do

A

Phagocytosis- engulfs nd digests the cell
Release anti toxins to react with the toxins
Release antibodies

24
Q

Explain the antibody process

A

White blood cells release antibodies which lock on to antigens. The bacteria clumps together which is then engulfed by the white blood cell

25
Are viruses cells?
No
26
Name the two parts of a virus
DNA capsule and the base where the DNA is injected into the infected cell
27
How do the viruses damage the cell
Reproduce rapidly inside our bodies
28
Give examples of viruses
HIV Measles Tobacco mosaic Ebola
29
Are viruses smaller or bigger than bacteria?
Smaller
30
What's a protist?
A single called eukaryote
31
What are some fungi made of?
Hyphae
32
How does a virus reproduce?
It attaches itself to a specific host cell, the virus injects its genetic material into the host cell and then the host cell uses the genetic material to make new viruses. Then the host cell splits open, releasing viruses
33
Name the five parts of a bacterial cell
``` Cytoplasm DNA Cell wall Plasmid Flagellum ``` Cats and dogs can play catch
34
What do antibiotics kill?
Bacteria
35
How do bacteria get killed?

How do bacteria reproduce?
Using binary fission and produce toxins
38
Give examples only communicable diseases

39
How are communicable diseases caused?
By pathogens and can be passed from one to another
40
What's a pathogen?
A micro organism that causes disease
41

Pneumonia or encephalitis
48
Give some examples of drugs
Painkillers Cold remedies Antibiotics
49
Where do many drugs come from?
Plants
50
Do antibiotics destroy viruses
No- they don't have a cell wall
51
What do painkillers and cold remidies do?
Reduce symptoms
52
How does vaccination work?
Injecting a small amount of bacteria/virus pathogen. Stimulate white blood cells to produce antibodies to fight pathogens
53
Do painkillers kill pathogens
No- they treat the symptoms
