Humans vs. Bacteria
______ are medicines used to treat infections caused by bacteria.
What are antibiotics?
This acryonym is short for "Deoxyribonucleic Acid"
What is DNA?
This is deadly infectious disease that swept through Europe in the 14th century, killing millions of people. It was caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, which was spread by fleas on rats. The plague led to widespread death, social disruption, and significant changes in European society.
What is the Black Death?
This is the process where organisms with traits that help them survive and reproduce are more likely to pass those traits on, leading to Evolution over time.
What is Natural Selection
This is the fuel your body uses during exercise, like when you're running a marathon. It comes from the food you eat.
What is energy?
This word refers to the ability of bacteria (or other microbes) to survive and continue to grow despite being exposed to an antibiotic that would normally kill them or stop their growth.
What is resistance?
DNA is found in this part of the cell
When it comes to the transmission rate, the higher the population density...
Changes in this can cause some organisms to survive better than others, leading to natural selection.
What is the environment?
This system in your body is responsible for bringing oxygen to your muscles and removing carbon dioxide when you're running.
What is the circulatory or cardiovascular system?
_______ is a change in the DNA of an organism. In bacteria, ______ can happen naturally and can sometimes make them resistant to antibiotics. These changes can occur randomly and, if they help the bacteria survive, they can be passed on to future generations, leading to the spread of resistance.
What is mutation?
A nucleotide is the basic building ______ of the DNA
Block
This bacterial infection is commonly spread through contaminated food or water and causes severe diarrhea, vomiting, and dehydration.
What is Cholera?
These are characteristics or features of an organism that are passed down from one generation to the next, such as eye color, height, or fur pattern.
What are traits?
The process by which your body uses oxygen to make energy during long exercises like running is called this. Hint: ________ respiration
Aerobic respiration
Antibiotics work to kill bacterial bacteria but they do not work to kill this type of infection that leads to the flu or common cold.
What are viruses?
DNA --> DNA pairing rule
A-T C-G
Improper or lack of this practice, such as washing hands and ensuring clean drinking water, can lead to the spread of many diseases, including cholera, by contaminating food and water sources.
What is hygiene?
This is the process where species change over thousands of years through Natural Selection.
What is evolution
This is the process by which your cells turn food into energy.
Hint:
Input: Glucose/oxygen Output: CO2, Energy, Water
What is cellular respiration?
These are bacteria that have become resistant to multiple antibiotics, making them harder to treat with normal medications.
What are superbugs?
DNA --> mRNA pairing rule
A-U T-A C-G G-C
This term describes an outbreak of a disease that spreads across multiple countries or continents, affecting a large number of people globally.
What is a pandemic?
This is the process by which traits are passed from parents to their offspring through genes.
What is inheritance?
This organ helps control blood sugar levels by releasing insulin and glucagon.
What is the pancreas
