Disease Agents
Question | Answer | Other information |
---|---|---|
Prions? | Proteins. Unliving disease. Does not grow. But it does reproduce in the body. Finds nervous tissue and turns healthy proteins into bad proteins. | Infects proteins and multiples the disease. Once prions take over nerve cells rapidly form bad proteins. Made of amino acids. |
What is the difference between and infection and a disease? | Infection means you have been exposed to a disease. A disease is showing it or experiencing the disease. | How do you get it? eating people who have had the disease. Exposure to disease. |
Rhinovirus? | Unliving. Totally depend upon a host cell. Uses a cells dna replication to send out its own to infect other cells. Influenza. | |
What is the difference between influenza? Stomach Flu? Rhinovirus? | Rhinovirus is a cold virus which includes sore throat, cough, headache. Stomach flu has things like stomache ache, nausea, vomiting. Influenza is about a couple of weeks. also contains many symptoms such as high temperature. | |

Ergotism? | is the effect of long-term ergot poisoning, traditionally due to the ingestion of the alkaloids produced by the Claviceps purpurea fungus which infects rye and other cereals | |
Retrovirus example? | Aids, HIV | |
How does aids infects humans? | Takes reverse transcriptates, transcripes DNAS and makes into virus. | |
Free-living/parasitic? | Parasitic bacteria invades body, and takes something from the body to survive. Humans for example are free living which you can move about. | |
