What is movement

Bacteria can only be harmful. True or False?

What is False.

Fungi are just another form of bacteria.  True or false?

False

What is a vaccination?

Parts of the dead virus are injected into the human body.

All living things are composed (made up) of 1 or more, what?

What are cells

200

Give three harmful bacteria.

Salmonella

E.Coli

Cholera

Listeria etc...

Give three beneficial fungi uses.

1.  Used to make Bread

2. Used for Antibiotics

3. Used to make Gingerbeer

4.  Food Soy Sauce/Mushrooms

Why will the doctor not prescribe the patient an antibiotic to treat RUBELLA.  EXPLAIN in detail

Antibiotics only kill bacteria.

Rubella is a virus so it won't kill it.

What does microorganism mean?

What is a small living organism.

Used to make cheese, milk, yoghurt

Used to protect our skin

Used to digest food

What are:

Bacteria

Fungi

Viruses

You grew bacteria on an agar plate, why were you not allowed to open the lids.  Explain in detail. (3 ideas/ points)

Some of the bacteria might have been harmful to humans.  

If I opened the lid, I could have touched them and infected myself or my friends.

Some harmful bacteria might have escaped the dish if I opened the lid

Making bread is a similar process to making ginger beer.  Flour replaces the sugar (carbohydrate).  Why does the bread rise and why is it not alcoholic like gingerbeer. 

  • The carbon dioxide makes the bread rise (bubbles in the bread)

  • Alcohol evaporates in the oven

A person gets a Rubella - Vaccination explain in detail what this does in the human body. (Use the term- Antibodies)

The human body will recognise these ‘foreign dead’ Rubella parts and then make ANTIBODIES.

The human body will now have an ‘army’ of ANTIBODIES which act as ‘ready made soldiers’ to fight the Rubella virus.

Explain HOW you have to store chicken leftovers.  In your answer you also have to explain WHY you have to be careful when storing chicken leftovers.



HOW

After cooking, wrap it well, in your fridge. 

Keep cooked chicken away from raw meat.

Use it up within two days

WHY

Placing it in the fridge cools it and stops harmful bacteria from reproducing.

Keep it away from raw meat, to prevent infection with bacteria on the meat.

Eat the chicken within 2 days because after 2 days the chance of the chicken becoming infected with bacteria in the fridge, increases

Rubella is now going through the community explain why the person who got the vaccine will help them not get sick. 

If the person does come into contact with the RUBELLA virus at school, the ANTIBODIES should destroy the virus quickly.  If they do get RUBElla they should not get very sick.
