Microbe Unit Review What do we call the spread of a disease in a small region? epidemic Which antibiotic would be best to use to treat Influenza? None, flu is caused by a virus What is the best way to minimize the impact of an epidemic? immunization How might a fungal disease, such as Athlete’s Foot, be spread? By direct contact with fungus What aspect or our current society could most likely help an epidemic become a pandemic? We are very mobile, we move from one place to the other freely Genetically altering a plant so that it has greater resistance to disease and insect problems would be an example of what? biotechnology What kind of impact can biotechnology have on the amount of food that can be produced per acre in the world? It would increase If a doctor prescribes an antibiotic to treat an illness, what kind of pathogen is likely the cause the illness? bacteria Name two areas where biotechnology is having the most impact right now? Medicine and agriculture What animal is the vector for Malaria? Anopheles Mosquitoes Strep Throat is caused by what kind of pathogen? bacteria What is the primary difference between and epidemic and a pandemic? Pandemics occur across much larger areas Diseases that can be spread from one organism to another are called what? infectious What would be the main problem associated with being the carrier of a disease? Not knowing you were contagious Would the HIV AIDS outbreak which has lasted over 30 years, across every continent be considered an epidemic or pandemic? pandemic The amount of crops grown in a given field is referred to as what? Yield Why is it so critical to continually be working on new antibiotics? Pathogens are becoming resistant to antibiotics over time Hand sanitizers help prevent the spread of disease by which method? Direct contact Name an ethical consideration associated with the use of GMO’s (Genetically Modified Organism)? Long term environmental and human health effects What will likely happen to the incidence of infection disease in a community as the sanitation level of that community increases? decrease Are viruses living or nonliving? Non-living What kind of pathogen causes the disease cholera? bacteria Why can’t HIV AIDS be successfully treated with antibiotics? It is caused by a virus Why are mosquitoes considered vectors for Malaria? They cannot get the disease and are necessary for its transmission What antibiotic was developed from a fungus and has been used to cure many illnesses that could have led to epidemics? penicillin What must a virus do to reproduce? Be absorbed by a cell How do bacteria reproduce? Binary Fission Downs Syndrome is caused by what? genetics What is the normal course of action when treating bacterial diseases? antibiotics Risk/Benefit analysis, which considers a balance between benefit and risk is an important consideration in what new area of scientific investigation? biotechnology In a parasitic relationship, the parasite benefits by the association. How is the host affected in a parasitic relationship? Host is negatively affected Introducing foreign DNA into an organism in order to modify the organism’s DNA is an example of what? Genetic engineering What kind of organism is the pathogen that causes the disease Tetanus? bacteria What kind of pathogen spreads cancer? Cancer is noninfectious Rabies and Lyme disease are both spread by contact with animals. What are the animals that are necessary to spread a disease called? vectors What is the best way to prevent microbial infection? Washing hands All organisms which are microscopic in size can be classified as what? microbes
