CPR Basics
What are the steps of CPR in order?
Check responsiveness, call for help, open airway, check breathing, give compressions, give breaths.
How many compressions are in each round of CPR?
30
What are genetically modified organisms (GMOs)?
Organisms with altered DNA for desired traits.
What is CRISPR?
A gene-editing tool used to modify DNA precisely.
Name a medical use of biotechnology.
Producing insulin for diabetes treatment.
What does "CPR" stand for?
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.
How many breaths should you give after 30 compressions?
2
What is biotechnology?
The use of living systems or organisms to develop products.
How does CRISPR work?
It uses guide RNA and Cas9 enzyme to cut DNA at a specific spot.
Name an agricultural use of biotechnology.
Creating pest-resistant or drought-tolerant crops.
When should you begin CPR?
When a person is unresponsive and not breathing or not breathing normally.
What is the recommended compression rate per minute?
100–120
What is DNA?
Deoxyribonucleic acid – the molecule that carries genetic instructions.
Why is CRISPR considered revolutionary?
It allows faster, cheaper, and more accurate gene editing than previous methods.
How is biotechnology used in the environment?
plats and farms
Why is it important to open the airway before giving breaths?
To ensure air can reach the lungs and oxygen is delivered.
What is the correct compression depth for an adult?
2in
What are enzymes in biotech used for?
To cut, copy, or modify DNA.
What ethical concerns are associated with CRISPR?
Potential misuse in human embryos, designer babies, and unknown long-term effects.
How does biotechnology help in vaccine production?
It allows scientists to develop safer and faster vaccines using DNA/RNA technologies.
What is the role of rescue breaths in CPR?
They provide oxygen to the lungs while compressions circulate the blood.
How many CPR cycles should you do before rechecking the victim?
About 5 cycles (2 minutes) before reassessing or switching rescuers.
What is genetic engineering?
The direct manipulation of an organism’s genes using biotechnology.
What is gene therapy?
A technique to treat or prevent disease by inserting, altering, or removing genes.
What is cloning and how does it relate to biotech?
Creating a genetically identical copy of an organism; used in research and agriculture.
