Question 1

Question
1) Pathogens are [blank_start]microorganisms[blank_end] that enter the [blank_start]body[blank_end] and cause [blank_start]disease[blank_end]. 2) They cause [blank_start]communicable[blank_end] (infectious) [blank_start]diseases[blank_end] that can easily [blank_start]spread[blank_end]. 3) Both [blank_start]plants[blank_end] and [blank_start]animals[blank_end] can be [blank_start]infected[blank_end] by [blank_start]pathogens[blank_end].

Question 2

Question
1) Bacteria are very [blank_start]small[blank_end] living [blank_start]cells[blank_end] (about [blank_start]1/100th[blank_end] the size of [blank_start]body[blank_end] cells), which can [blank_start]reproduce[blank_end] rapidly inside your [blank_start]body[blank_end]. 2) They can make you [blank_start]feel ill[blank_end] by [blank_start]producing toxins[blank_end] (poisons) that [blank_start]damage[blank_end] your [blank_start]cells[blank_end] and [blank_start]tissues[blank_end].

  • bacterium
  • bacteria
  • reproduce
  • body

Question 4

Question
3) They live inside your [blank_start]cells[blank_end] and [blank_start]replicate themselves[blank_end] using the [blank_start]cells' machinery[blank_end] to [blank_start]produce[blank_end] many [blank_start]copies[blank_end] of themselves. The cell will usually then [blank_start]burst[blank_end], releasing all the [blank_start]new viruses[blank_end]. 4) This [blank_start]cell damage[blank_end] is what makes you feel [blank_start]ill[blank_end].
Answer
  • cells
  • replicate themselves
  • cells' machinery
  • produce
  • copies
  • burst

Question 5

Question
1) Protists are Single - Celled Eukaryotes. There are lots of different [blank_start]types[blank_end]. But they're all [blank_start]eukaryotes[blank_end] and most of them are [blank_start]single - celled[blank_end].
Answer
  • types
  • eukaryotes
  • single - celled

Question 6

Question
2) Some protists are [blank_start]parasites[blank_end]. They live [blank_start]on[blank_end] or [blank_start]inside[blank_end] other [blank_start]organisms[blank_end] and can cause them [blank_start]damage[blank_end]. They are often [blank_start]transferred[blank_end] to the [blank_start]organism[blank_end] by a [blank_start]vector[blank_end], which [blank_start]doesn't[blank_end] get the [blank_start]disease[blank_end] [blank_start]itself[blank_end] - eg. an [blank_start]insect[blank_end] that [blank_start]carries[blank_end] the [blank_start]protist[blank_end].

Question 7

Question
1) Fungi come in different [blank_start]shapes[blank_end]. Some [blank_start]fungi[blank_end] are [blank_start]single[blank_end] - celled. [blank_start]Others[blank_end] have a [blank_start]body[blank_end] which is made up of [blank_start]hyphae[blank_end] ( [blank_start]thread - like[blank_end] structures). 2) These [blank_start]hyphae[blank_end] can [blank_start]grow[blank_end] and [blank_start]penetrate[blank_end] human [blank_start]skin[blank_end] and the [blank_start]surface[blank_end] area of [blank_start]plants[blank_end], causing [blank_start]diseases[blank_end].

Question 14

Question
2) HIV initially causes [blank_start]flu[blank_end] - like [blank_start]symptoms[blank_end] for a few [blank_start]weeks[blank_end]. Usually, the person [blank_start]doesn't[blank_end] then experience any [blank_start]symptoms[blank_end] for [blank_start]several years[blank_end]. [blank_start]During[blank_end] this time, [blank_start]HIV[blank_end] can be [blank_start]controlled[blank_end] with [blank_start]antiretroviral[blank_end] drugs.

Question 15

Question
3) The virus [blank_start]attacks[blank_end] the [blank_start]immune[blank_end] cells. 4) If the body's [blank_start]immune[blank_end] system is badly [blank_start]damaged[blank_end], it [blank_start]can't cope[blank_end] with [blank_start]other[blank_end] infections or [blank_start]cancers[blank_end]. At this [blank_start]stage[blank_end], the virus is [blank_start]known[blank_end] as [blank_start]late stage HIV infection[blank_end], or [blank_start]AIDS[blank_end].

Question 16

Question
1) [blank_start]Tobacco[blank_end] mosaic virus ([blank_start]TMV[blank_end]) is a virus that [blank_start]affects[blank_end] many [blank_start]species[blank_end] of [blank_start]plants[blank_end], eg. [blank_start]tomatoes[blank_end]. 2) It causes a [blank_start]mosaic pattern[blank_end] on the [blank_start]leaves[blank_end] of the [blank_start]plants[blank_end] - [blank_start]parts[blank_end] of the leaves become [blank_start]discoloured[blank_end].

  • species
  • plants
  • tomatoes
  • mosaic pattern

Answer
  • discolouration
  • can't
  • photosynthesis
  • growth
  • affects

Question 18

Question
1) Rose [blank_start]black[blank_end] spot is a [blank_start]fungus[blank_end] that causes [blank_start]purple[blank_end] or [blank_start]black[blank_end] [blank_start]spots[blank_end] to develop on the [blank_start]leaves[blank_end] of [blank_start]rose plants[blank_end]. The leaves can then turn [blank_start]yellow[blank_end] and [blank_start]drop[blank_end] off. 2) This means that [blank_start]less[blank_end] [blank_start]photosynthesis[blank_end] can happen, so the plant [blank_start]doesn't[blank_end] [blank_start]grow[blank_end] very well.
Answer
  • black

Question 20

Question
4) [blank_start]Gardeners[blank_end] can [blank_start]treat[blank_end] the [blank_start]disease[blank_end] using [blank_start]fungicides[blank_end] and by [blank_start]stripping[blank_end] the [blank_start]plant[blank_end] of its [blank_start]affected leaves[blank_end]. These leaves then need to be [blank_start]destroyed[blank_end] so that the [blank_start]fungus[blank_end] [blank_start]can't[blank_end] spread to [blank_start]other rose[blank_end] plants.
