Are they all


cells?
The cell (from Latin cella, meaning "small room") is the basic structural, functional, and biological
unit of all known organisms. A cell is the smallest unit of life. Cells are often called the "building
blocks of life". The study of cells is called cell biology, cellular biology, or cytology.

Bacterial cells

Bacteria are different from animal and plant cells. They are all single-celled. The cells are all ____________ .
This means they do not have a nucleus or any other structures which are surrounded by ___________. Larger
bacterial cells may be visible using a _______ microscope, however an _________ microscope would be
needed to see the details of the cell organelles.
Covid-19 is the name we use for the disease but it is not actually correct. The real name is Severe Acute Respiratory
Syndrome Coronavirus 2”, or SARS-CoV-2. Their reason for the name is because the virus is genetically related to the
one that caused the SARS outbreak in 2003.

However WHO have said they will not use the term SARS (or SARS-CoV-2) when communicating with the public
because it could have “unintended consequences in terms of creating unnecessary fear for some populations,
especially in Asia which was worst affected by the SARS outbreak in 2003.”
As is often the case in the scientific world, coronavirus’ name is Latin. In the ancient language, corona means crown.

Kill the bad ones We don’t want to kill them all
Killing the bad ones NO!
Viruses are mostly known for their aggressive and infectious nature.

It's true, most viruses are bad for us – causing diseases ranging from a mild
cold to serious conditions like severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).

But they're not all bad. Some viruses can actually kill bacteria, while others
can fight against more dangerous viruses. So like protective bacteria
(probiotics), we have several protective viruses in our body.

Viral infections at a young age are important to ensure the proper


development of our immune systems.

Pathogen

A pathogen is a microorganism that causes a disease.


There are four main types of pathogen:

Pathogen Example in animals Example in plants


Viruses HIV potentially leading to AIDS Tobacco mosaic virus
Bacteria Salmonella Agrobacterium
Fungi Athlete's foot Rose black spot
Protists Malaria Downy mildew

to AIDS
We have two types of disease: communicable vs. Non-
communicable diseases

• Communicable diseases are infectious diseases caused by pathogens.


• Non-communicable diseases are not infectious.

Cancer
Covid-19 Heart
AIDS disease
TB Anaemia
Flu Diabetes
Lung disease

Pathogens get past our natural defences and enter our body

DIVIDE

Pathogens start to divide rapidly


DIVIDE DIVIDE

But why do more pathogens


in our body result in us being
more sick?
Pathogens release toxins into our body which make the body feel unwell.
More pathogens  More toxins  More unwell

How do vaccines work?
Herd immunity

• If most people in a population have a vaccination, then even if a small


number of people become infected the disease is not likely to spread. This
is called herd immunity.
• The reverse is also true. If few people have a vaccine and a small number
become infected the disease will spread much more quickly.

Vaccination creates herd immunity. However, letting a disease spread and


letting people recover doesn’t. Because allowing a virus to duplicate gives
rise to a risk that it may mutate and become stronger and more resistant.
