Study Notes
How do plants prevent infection?
- Malaria is spread by mosquitoes.
- The pathogen that causes malaria is a protist.
- The immune system destroys pathogens that enter the body.
- White blood cells destroy pathogens.
- White blood cells resist infection through phagocytosis, producing antibodies, and producing antitoxins.
Activating prior knowledge
- Pathogens include viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protists.
- All living things can get sick.
Activation & check of prior knowledge
- All living things can become infected by diseases.
Plant Diseases
- Examples include Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) and Black Spot Fungus and their effects on plants.
- TMV is caused by a virus, spread by insects, causing discoloration and reduced photosynthesis.
- Black Spot Fungus is caused by a fungus, spread by water or wind, and creates black/purple spots on leaves, reducing photosynthesis.
How are plant diseases spread?
- Viruses may be spread by insects or water.
- Fungi may be spread by water or wind.
Plant Disease Symptoms
- Visible symptoms such as discolouration, spots, reduced photosynthesis or growth are observed.
Plant Pathogen Control
- Fungicides are used to control fungal diseases.
Plant Immune Systems
- Plants have physical and chemical defenses but no immune system.
- Plants have defenses, but lack an immune system.
Communicable Diseases
- Plants and animals can contract communicable diseases.
Complete Pathogen Information
- Pathogens infect plants, not just animals.
- Plant pathogens include bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protists.
- Examples of plant diseases include Tobacco Mosaic Virus (caused by a virus spread via insects) and Black Spot Fungus (caused by a fungus spread via water/wind).
Health and Disease
- Health is defined as complete physical, mental, and social well-being.
- Communicable diseases (infectious diseases) are caused by pathogens, and lifestyle factors affect the non-communicable disease risk.
