Suggested Constructed Responses
Human Body Systems and Health Decisions
The human body has several different major systems that work together. Briefly describe at least four different
human body systems and their functions. Then, explain how a poor health decision can impact each body system.
Infectious Disease
Q: What kinds of organisms cause infectious diseases and what are their characteristics?
4
Common Core Curriculum Map 2013 - 2014
A: Microscopic organisms including bacteria, fungi and protists cause disease. Viruses (which are not considered
“organisms” since they are not alive) also cause disease. Viruses are the smallest disease-causing agents, while
bacteria are about ten times larger. Protists and fungi are eukaryotes and are about ten times larger than bacteria.
Treatments are often specific to the disease. Antibiotics can treat only diseases caused by bacteria. Vaccinations
can prevent various diseases.
Q: How do infectious diseases spread from one organism to another?
A: Infectious diseases are spread in various ways. Some viruses such as influenza and the common cold are
transmitted via particles in the air. Others such as HIV/AIDS and rabies are transmitted by transfer of bodily fluids.
Bacteria and protists are often transmitted via direct contact or through contaminated food or water. Some bacteria
have spores that remain inactive until they are ingested by a host.
Q: What health and environmental conditions make it easier for infectious diseases to spread?
A: Lack of hygiene and presence of contaminated food or water make it easier for infectious diseases to spread. In
poorer countries that lack education and facilities for water treatment, infectious diseases spread more readily.
