    1. ABacteria
    2. BProtozoa
    3. CPrions
    4. DVirus
17. 17Viruses are [blank_start]non-living[blank_end] because they [blank_start]cannot[blank_end] perform metabolic processes. They are comprised of [blank_start]nucleic acid[blank_end] core and covered by [blank_start]protein shell[blank_end]. They enter the [blank_start]host body[blank_end] and attach themselves to a specific [blank_start]cell[blank_end] and then insert [blank_start]DNA/RNA[blank_end] into the cell. The host then makes new [blank_start]copies[blank_end] and then the viral cell [blank_start]breaks open[blank_end] the cell and [blank_start]infects[blank_end] other cells.

    1. Anon-living
    2. Bliving
    3. Ccannot
    4. Dcan
    5. Enucleic acid
    6. Fprotein shell
    7. Ghost body
    8. Hcell
    9. Iprotein
    10. Jvirus
    11. KDNA/RNA
    12. Lcopies
    13. Mbreaks open
    14. Ninfects
18. 18Which pathogen is made up of DNA covered by a cell wall called murein and are recognisable by their shape?

    1. AProtozoa
    2. Bbacteria
    3. Cfungi
    4. DMacroparasites
19. 19Which pathogen is animal-like and comes in a variety of shapes and sizes

    1. AVirus
    2. BBacteria
    3. CFungi
    4. DProtozoa
20. 20Fungi are mostly [blank_start]harmless[blank_end] but a few species grow on [blank_start]humans[blank_end]. Small fibres called [blank_start]hyphae[blank_end] can enter a host and take root in a [blank_start]dark[blank_end], [blank_start]warm[blank_end] environment.

21. 21Which parasite is a large parasite that is most commonly found as flatworms or round worms?
    
    [blank_start]Macroparasites[blank_end]

    1. AMacroparasites
22. 22[blank_start]Virulence[blank_end] is the ability of a pathogen to cause diseases

    1. AVirulence
23. 23Virulent factors include:

    1. AAdhesion
    2. BDNA replication
    3. CColonisation factors
    4. DInvasion factors
    5. Etoxins
    6. Fphagocytes
    7. GImmune response blockers
24. 24[blank_start]Colonisation factors[blank_end] are proteins that allow the pathogen to live and multiply within the host’s environment.

    1. AColonisation factors
25. 25[blank_start]Invasion factors[blank_end] are proteins that allows pathogens to enter cells

    1. AInvasion factors
26. 26[blank_start]Viruses[blank_end] produce proteins which disrupt host cell [blank_start]membrane[blank_end] or stimulate [blank_start]endocytosis[blank_end] so that the cell actually [blank_start]welcomes[blank_end] the virus into it. [blank_start]Toxins[blank_end] are proteins that [blank_start]poison[blank_end] host cells and cause [blank_start]tissue damage[blank_end]. A large number of bacteria and [blank_start]fungi[blank_end] produce toxins. They do this to feed on the [blank_start]damaged tissue[blank_end].

    1. AViruses
    2. Bmembrane
    3. Cendocytosis
    4. Dexocytosis
    5. Ewelcomes
    6. Favoids
    7. Ginhibits
    8. HToxins
    9. Ipoison
    10. Jtissue damage
    11. Kfungi
    12. Ldamaged tissue
27. 27[blank_start]Endotoxins[blank_end]: are bound to the outer membrane of the pathogen and when the pathogen is damaged or destroyed, the toxin causes an inflammatory response in the host.
    [blank_start]Exotoxins[blank_end]: are toxins secreted by the pathogen. They are usually specifically named to address the system they impact: eg. Neurotoxins.

    1. AEndotoxins
    2. BExotoxins
28. 28How do pathogens avoid detection by the body's immune system?

    1. ACapsule which switches it off
    2. BLayer of slime
    3. CSuper-antigens
    4. DSmall size
