Can you take antibiotics to prevent a viral infection?
No

*Basketball Question!!!*
What is the name of the part of a virus where antibodies "tag" and cap the virus?
antigen
200
Why should you only take antibiotics if you are sure you have a bacterial infection?
So the bacteria do not have a chance to evolve and become immune to the antibiotic.

*Basketball Question!!!*
Name 3 ways that bacteria can be beneficial to humans or Earth in general.
nitrogen fixation, aiding in digestion, decomposition, food fermentation
300
Name 2 structures that all viruses have.
Capsid and DNA/RNA

*Basketball Question!!!*
Would a bacterial infection be harder to kill if they were reproducing sexually or asexually? Explain
Sexually because they have a chance to pass helpful traits to each other and mutate as they replicate their DNA.

*Basketball Question!!!*
What type of white blood cell is in charge of differentiating between different types of pathogens in your immune system?
lymphoid cells

*BASKETBALL QUESTION!!!*
What determined whether or not bacteria were able to move towards areas with increasing antibiotics? What was happening over time?
Some bacteria developed mutations that allowed them to survive in areas where there was more antibiotics.

*BASKETBALL QUESTION!!!*
What is herd immunity and how can vaccines help us achieve it?
It is when people who can't get vaccinated are protected from viral infections because everyone around them are vaccinated. It helps slow the spread of viruses.

*BASKETBALL QUESTION!!!*
Provide one piece of evidence that demonstrates a virus is alive.
Provide one piece of evidence that demonstrates a virus is NOT alive.
alive: can reproduce and has DNA
not alive: can't survive on its own, not made of cells

Which cycle is being shown in this diagram? Explain what is happening in each step.
Lytic, virus injects DNA, host cell makes more viral proteins, viruses break out and are released from cell.

Is it more beneficial to use a vaccine before getting a virus or inject yourself with antibodies after getting a virus?
Taking a vaccine so that your body will remember how to make the antibodies in the future.

*Basketball Question!!!*
Describe why not finishing your antibiotics could potentially result in a worse bacterial infection than if you simply didn't take anything.
It can kill all of the bacteria except for the resistant ones, and those bacteria strains reproduce and are harder to kill than the original.

What are the 2 kingdoms of bacteria called? What differentiates between the 2 groups?
Eubacteria and Archaebacteria
Composition of the cell wall.

Draw lymphoid cell producing antibodies to cap a viral antigen. Label the diagram.

What is the process of sexual reproduction in bacteria called? Briefly explain the process.
Conjugation.
The donor cell will form a pilus and connect it to another cell. Then the donor will give a piece of plasmid to the recipient cell.

Name the 2 different parts of the immune system. Which one works faster and which one works longer?
Innate and Adaptive Immune Responses
Innate works faster but Adaptive works longer.

In the Ebola Disease Detectives Activity, you saw how Sierra Leone was impacted by the outbreak. What happened to the Ebola virus's DNA as time went on that made the outbreak so severe?
The longer it went on, the more mutations the virus had so it was harder for people to produce antibodies to protect themselves.

What is the name of the type of vaccine where we inject a dead pathogen that can't make you sick?
Inactivated Vaccine
