Q

Why are Microbes important?

A

they are very important to us

as they help recycle waste products and decompose organisms when they die

Q

How Do Fungi gain Nutrition?

A

Saprotrophic Nutrition- Fungi secrete extracellular digestive enzymes onto their food to
break it down into small, soluble molecules. These molecules then diffuse into the fungus from a region of
high concentration to low concentration.

Q

How do Bacteria gain Nutrition?

A

 Some bacteria are able to photosynthesis using a form of chlorophyll in their cytoplasm. These are called
autotrophs
Most feed off other living or dead organisms, and many are important decomposers

Q

How do Virus’ Reproduce?

A

Replicate inside of their hosts cell

22
Q

What is Mould an example of?

A

FUngi

23
Q

How do Mould reproduce?

A

Moulds reproduce asexually by producing spores (which are light and
carried away in the wind)

24
Q

How do Yeast Reproduce?

A

Yeast is a single-celled fungus that

reproduces asexually by budding

25
Q

Why are Virus’ considered as non living organisms?

A

. They are usually considered non-living

because they do not respire, grow, move or excrete. Nor are they able to sense and respond to their environment

26
Q

What is the only thing that Virus’ can do that is a characteristic of a living organism?

A

Reproduction

27
Q

What is an example of a pathogenic Protoctist?

A

Plasmodium which causes malaria

28
Q

What is a Pathogen?

A

A Pathogen is an organism which causes disease.

29
Q

What si the Use of the Skin in the immune System?

A

Dry, dead outer cells are difficult for pathogens to penetrate and the sebaceaous glands
produce oils which help to kill microbes

30
Q

What is the use of Nasal Hairs in the immune system?

A

Keeps out dust and larger organisms

31
Q

What is the Use of Mucus in the immune system?

A

Traps dust and microbes

32
Q

What is the use of Cilia in the immune system?

A

Tiny hairs that sweep the mucus and trapped microbes to the back of the throat to be
swallowed.

33
Q

What is the use of Tears in protecting the immune system?

A

Wash out the bacteria in the eyes. Also contain the enzymes that kill bacteria.

34
Q

What is the use of stomach acid in the immune system?

A

Kills Bacteria entering the digestive system?

35
Q

What is the use of Platelets in the immune system?

A

To prevent entry of pathogens to open wounds as form blood clots which can harden to
form scabs.

36
Q

What are the two types of white blood cells that are also involved in fighting pathogens?

A

Lymphocytes and Phagocytes

37
Q

What is the specific response of a Lymphocyte?

A

produces antibodies to fight pathogens

38
Q

How do antibodies destroy pathogens?

A

Clump pathogens together so more easily engulfed.
• Acts as markers to identify the pathogen.
• Neutralise toxins produced by pathogen using antitoxins.

39
Q

State Three ways in which you can become immune to a disease?

A

Specific shape for antibodies
Natural genes
Antibodies transfer –> immunification

40
Q

Phagocytes in Digestion?

A

Phagocytes move towards the pathogen, binds to it, pushes a sleve of cytoplasm to surround it. It then engulfs it inside the vacuole and digestive enzymes are realesed to break pathogen down.

41
Q

What are the differences between phagocytes and lymphocytes?

A

Lymphocytes attach to the antigen and destructs Pathogen. The antigen causes enzymes to split open the pathogen’s cell membrane and also tags pathogens for phagocytes

42
Q

What is an Antigen?

A

A protein which stimulates an immune response. They are Complementary i shape

43
Q

What is the definition of coagulation?

A

Coagulation is the Formation of a blood clot

44
Q

What is the definition of Foreign?

A

Something which is not a part of the host organism

45
Q

Features of Plants?

A

Multicellular
Can Photosynthesise
Cell walls made from cellulose
Store Carbs as Sucrose or Starch

46
Q

Features of Animals?

A 
Multicellular
No Photosynthesis
No Cell Walls
Have Nervous Coordination - respond quickly to things in the environment
Can Move
Store Carbs as Glycogen
47
Q

Features of Fungi?

A 
Some single celled
Others have a body called mycelium (made from hyphae) (thread like structure) which contains a lot of nuclei
No Photosynthesis
Cell Walls made from Chitin
Feed via Saphotrophic Nutrition
Store Carbs as Glycogen
48
Q

Features of Protoctists?

A

Single celled and microscopic
Some have Chloroplasts and are similar to plant cells
(Chlorella)
Others more like animal cells (Ameoba)

49
Q

Features of Bacteria?

A 
Single Celled and Microspopic
No Nucleus 
Circular Chromosome of DNA
Some Photosynthesise
Most feed off other organisms- living or dead
50
Q

Features of Viruses?

A

Particles instead of cells
Can reproduce inside living cells.
Infect all types of living organisms.
Come in loads of different shapes and sizes
No cellular Strucutre (Protein Coat and DNA or RNA)
