1) cause food to spoil
sauerkraut)
2) digestive tract
2) disease in plants

8. Where and under what conditions do bacteria thrive?
Everywhere there is food, water and warmth.
9. Compare and contrast the terms: clean, sanitized, and sterile.
Clean = not dirty, no visible residue but possibility of microbes present in large numbers.
Sanitized = cleaned with disinfectant such as Lysol, alcohol or bleach, possibility of microbes present in
very low numbers.
Sterile = items sterilized in an autoclave or by heating over flame. Free from living microorganisms
(sterile surgical instruments).
10. Define disease, pathology and pathogen.
Disease: Any condition that interferes with the ability of an organism to function
Pathology: Study of disease
Pathogen: A disease-causing agent (organism or material)
11. List the 6 types of diseases. (ways in which you might get a disease)
Infections, deficiencies (scurvy), environment (pollution), heredity (cancer), degenerative (arthritis), cancer
(could be viral, heredity, environmental or combo)
12. What is meant by host to host transmission? Provide an example.
pathogen passed directly from 1 organism to another. (flu virus)
13. What is meant by third party transmission? Provide an example.
another organism carries the pathogen (malaria)
14. Define virulence and resistance.
Virulence: the ability of a pathogen to cause disease (ie. how “strong” the pathogen is)
Resistance: the ability of the host to cope with a pathogen (ie. how “strong” you are at defending yourself)
15. Compare and contrast an antibody and an antibiotic.
Antibody: Protein, build by your own immune system, which destroys pathogens
Antibiotic: A chemical prescribed by a physician, to kill a pathogen
16. Why do we say that your immune system has a “memory”?
If you survive an infection, the body can quickly produce antibodies for that pathogen
17. Explain how a vaccine works.
When we are being immunized, weakened pathogens or antibodies to them are injected into the body. The
host is then immune to the pathogen for a period of time
18. How can a person suffer from a cold numerous times in one year?
virus mutates
19. List 5 ways pathogens can be spread.
Air, water, food, hypodermic needles, sneezes

drying, salt, preservatives, pasteurization, freezing/refrigeration, heating/cooking
21. Compare and contrast an antiseptic with a disinfectant.
Antiseptics – chemical agents applied to tissue to prevent infection by killing or inhibiting bacteria. (ie.
mouthwash, toothpaste, hand sanitizer, soap, throat lozenges etc.)
Disinfectants - chemical agents applied to inanimate (non living) objects to killing/remove bacteria. (ie.
pine sol, lysol, bleach, ammonia, febreze etc.)
22. Sketch a bacterial plate for an antibiotic that was fairly effective. Discuss the size of the zone of inhibition.
23. Sketch a bacterial plate for an antibiotic if the bacteria growing was resistant. Discuss the size of the zone
of inhibition.

24. How do bacteria develop resistance to antibiotics?
mutations, sharing information with other bacteria (conjugation)
When humans use antibiotics (including antibacterial agents) or don’t complete their prescriptions we are
selecting for antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria.
25. Describe three ways that people are contributing to the rise of strains of antibiotic resistant bacteria.
when humans overuse antibiotics or antibacterial agents, when humans don’t complete their prescriptions
we are selecting for antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria, using antibiotics on farm animals and applying
antibiotics to crops
26. According to the article, “Disease in the World Today”,
a. Why do ‘bugs’ have an advantage over humans?
more of them than us
generation time is in minutes vs. years
evolve (mutate rapidly)
b. Why is smallpox considered such a terrorist threat?
billions of infectious particles can be stored in a small vial that could be easily smuggled
c. What clues should we look for if disease has hit an area?
increase in over the counter antidiarrheal medicines
monitoring emergency room stats
# of people calling in sick at work and for school
d. How has technology found a way to prevent outbreaks of influenza?
collecting global influenza virus samples and conducting genetic tests to predict dominant strains to
mass produce vaccines
27. Do you think researchers should store deadly, but contained, viruses such as smallpox or the 1918 flu?
28. What are the three components of virions?
nucleic acid, protein coat, lipid membrane
29. Viruses
a. Why are some considered living or not living?
viruses do not contain the chemical machinery enzymes needed to carry out the chemical reactions
for life
b. Draw the stages of Lytic cycle and understand what is happening at each stage
c. Draw the Lysogenic cycle and understand what is happening at each stage

weak
31. How does HIV enter the body?
sexual contact, sharing needles, breastfeeding, mom to fetus during pregnancy, blood transfusion
32. Aside from the chronic diseases that they cause, what other illness are HBV, HCV and HPV linked to?
cancer
33. How do viruses indirectly contribute to cancer development?
cancer cells are not removed by immune responses or tissue damage leads to large scale cell regeneration
increasing chances of mutations in growth promoting or suppressing genes.
34. How do viruses directly contribute to cancer development?
by integrating into the host cells DNA and altering the growth promoting or suppressing genes
35. Discuss the pros and cons of taking Tylenol when you have flu-like symptoms (ie. Muscle soreness,
headache, fever, etc)
Pros – comfort, prolonged fever over
C is dangerous
Cons – lowering the fever gives the virus a second chance to reproduce at optimal temp.

Sarcodinians-organisms that move by extending lobes of cytoplasm. Ex) radiolarians, foraminiferans,
ameba
Zooflagellates-use flagella (whiplike structures that aid in movement). Ex) Trichonympha (lives in the gut
of a termite)
Ciliophorans or ciliates-use cilia (short, hairlike projections used for movement) and live mostly in fresh
water. Ex) Paramecium
Sporozoans-cannot move themselves. Ex) Plasmodium

(single vs multicelled). List the two groups and describe each.
Unicellular-include dinoflagellates, diatoms, and euglenoids and some green algae.
Multicellular-include green algae, red algae, and brown algae. These algae have specialized structures that
resemble the parts of plants
44. The characteristic that makes a true fungus similar to fungus-like protists is that they are both
decomposers.
45. List the three types of fungus-like protists and describe each.
Plasmodial slime molds-have single cells with multiple nuclei that can form spore-producing fruiting
