The Black Death and More!
A disease that killed almost 50% of the population of Europe
What is The Black Death?
The process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.
What is natural selection?
High level of resistant bacteria that the most commonly used bacteria can not treat.
What is antibiotic resistant bacteria?
Which of the following is a nonspecific defense?
A) Antibodies
b) Skin
c) Memory cells
d) Vaccines
SKIN!
According to The Black Death Text, many of the people that died from the Black Death were elderly, frail, and malnourished. This evidence supports which claim?
What is evidence that supports the following claim: The people who died of the Black Death were already sick or unhealthy?
In a habitat there are red bugs and green bugs. The birds prefer the taste of the red bugs, so soon there are many green bugs and few red bugs. The green bugs reproduce and make more bugs and eventually there are no more red bugs.
What is an example of natural Selection?
Antibiotics given to agriculture on the farm, to increase their size for profit, possibly causing people that consume the agriculture to develop strands of resistant bacteria in their bodies.
What an example of the overuse of antibiotics on a population level?
"This pathogen is extremely virulent!" said the town suffering from Cholera. "So many people have died!" What do you think it means if a disease is extremely virulent?
How severe the disease caused by a pathogen is!
According to The Black Death Text, almost 50% of the population of Europe and nearly one-fifth of the world's population in the 1300's had the disease creating a high chance of disease transmission. What claim can you make that is supported by this evidence?
What is evidence that supports this claim: High population densities increased the rate of transmission.
Variation, overproduction, adaptation, and descent with modification.
What is the four principles of natural selection?
Antibiotics that was skipped for the first 3 days, then taken the last 5 days.
What is and example of the misuse of antibiotics at an individual level?
The influence of closely associated species on each other in their evolution
what is a coevolution?
Tell me if Soil is Abiotic or Biotic...... Support your response....
Soil is abiotic. Yes it may have living things in it....but it is still considered a non-living thing!
How does genetic variation benefit a species in terms of survival?
Genetic variation benefits a species by providing the raw material for adaptation, allowing some individuals to survive new threats like diseases or climate change, ensuring the population's long-term survival and evolution, and preventing inbreeding depression, which boosts overall fitness and resilience. A diverse gene pool means a greater chance that some members possess advantageous traits, making the whole species less vulnerable to extinction!
A change is a a DNA sequence that affect the variation of an organism giving that organism either a disadvantage or an advantage in its environment.
What is a mutation?
Any kind of inherited trait that improves an organism's chances of survival and reproduction in a given environment.
What is an adaptation?
the unique role and position a species occupies in its ecosystem, defining "how it makes a living" by encompassing everything from its food, shelter, and predators to its interactions with other organisms and the physical environment (biotic and abiotic factors). It's essentially an organism's job and address, including its activity patterns, resources used, and impact on the environment, ensuring different species can coexist by minimizing direct competition for all the same things. This word begins with the letter "N" and has 5 letters
Niche
According to The Black Death text, once the bacterium is in the body the bacteria will quickly multiply and damage tissues in the lymphatic and respiratory systems causing fever, vomiting, and large boils on the body. This evidence supports which claim?
What is the evidence that supports the claim: The bacterium that causes The Black Death is especially contagious, disrupts homeostasis, and it is especially virulent.
According to the natural variations and disease survival text, scientist geneticists have found that there are differences in immune system genes between population of people whose ancestors were exposed to the Black Death in Europe, and those not exposed.
What is evidence that supports the research question: How could natural variations in the immune system of Medieval humans have contributed to their survival during the Black Death?
There is not a direct correlation that the agriculture with overuse of antibiotics that are consumed by humans are the sole reason of antibiotic resistance in those human bodies.
What is evidence that refute the following claim: At the population level, antibiotic resistant is being caused by the overuse of antibiotics in agriculture?
Interaction between two different organisms living in close physical association.
What is symbiosis?
Name factors that increase disease transmission
High population density, Global travel, low sanitation standards, not using PPE!
