
Define a pathogen.

An infectious agent (germ) that causes disease
or illness in a host.
2 - $200

Distinguish between vaccines and antibiotics.
Vaccines-preventative measure against viruses.
 Antibiotics-reactionary measure against bacterial
infection.

2 - $300

Define the three lines of defense the body uses
to protect against pathogens.
 1) Skin & Mucous – The skin has waterproofing
and hairs in the nose block germs from entering.
 2) Non-Specific Immune Response – fever,
inflammation
 3) Specific Immune Response – B-cells, T-cells,
and antibodies.
2 - $400

Describe what Canada does to help prevent
pathogens from spreading?
The Public Health Agency of Canada prevents &
controls, prepares & responds, do surveillance
and also emergency response plans.
 The flu watch monitors the spread of flu and flu
like symptoms.

2 - $500

Explain the difference between Epidemic,
Endemic and Pandemic, giving examples.

Endemic-Common disease that occurs at a low, constant
rate in a specific population. (Ex. Malaria in Liberia)
Epidemic- Occurs more frequently than expected in a
given area over a given time period. (Ex. The flu in
Kingston during winter)
Pandemic-An epidemic of an infectious disease that has
spread over a larger area. (Ex. HIV/AIDS)


3 - $100

What are the two characteristics of public
health?
1) Deals with preventative rather than
reactionary measures.
 2) Deals with population level health issues, not
individual level health issues.

3 - $200

What diseases does a mosquito net help
prevent?

Malaria, Dengue Fever, Yellow Fever, West Nile
and certain forms of encephalitis..
3 - $300

What are the 3 Public Health Agencies we fall
under, based on where we live?
1)KFL&A (Kingston Frontenac Lenox &
Addington)
 2)Ontario Ministry of Health & Long-term Care
 3)Health Canada

3 - $400

What is a safe injection site and what do they
help prevent? Name the one found in Canada.
Safe injection site: a legally sanctioned facility &
designed to reduce the health risk with taking
illegal drugs.
 They help prevent a public hazard and diseases
such as HIV/AIDS.
 Insite is located in Vancouver, Canada.

3 - $500

Distinguish the difference in cost & durability of
the insecticide mosquito net and the long-lasting
insecticide treated nets.
Insecticide Net: offer up 70% greater protection
than no net, most need insecticide to be reapplied after 6 washes & cost $3.00 U.S)
 Long Lasting Insecticide Net: give off insecticide
for up to 5 years and cost $5.50 U.S)

4 - $100

Name the three general types of digestive
disorder.
1) Structural
 2) Malabsorptive
 3) Inflammatory

4 - $200

What is the difference between chemical and
physical digestion?
Physical digestion: The folds in the stomach
(rugae) and the muscular pouch churn the bolus
& mix it with the gastric juice.
 Chemical digestion: the enzymes help break
down proteins and lipids.

4 - $300

What is an enzyme and what environmental
factors cause it to denature?
An enzyme is a special protein that is used to
speed up chemical reactions without using up all
of its energy.
 pH levels and change in temperature cause an
enzyme to denature.

4 - $400

What is the difference between a vitamin and a
mineral? Give an example of each.
Vitamin: an organic compound required for use
of a nutrient. (Ex. Vitamin D)
 Mineral: an ion of an element that the human
body requires in small amounts. (Ex. Iron)

4 - $500

Classify the 4 macromolecules and provide a
function for each.

support for cells.
 2) Proteins: provide structure & act as enzymes.
 3) Lipids: store energy & insulate our body.
 4) Nucleic Acids: carry codes for cell function.

5 - $100
