Unit 12 - Assignment 1
Investigate different types of diseases and infections that can affect all humans.

Inside the cell wall lies a plasma membrane that controls
what enters and leaves the cell.

quickly, disrupting the cell's activities. Toxins produced
by the bacterium will then be released into this cell,
paralysing, or damaging the body's metabolism or
generating a toxic immunological reaction. Commented [SC2]: This provides limited scientific
information of how the pathogen affects the body system

specific details and a detailed discussion.

Viruses
Name of Pathogen:
, Labelled diagram of the
pathogen
Viruses are made up of DNA or RNA, both of which
contain genetic information and are coated with protein.
Once infected, viruses invade the body's host cells and
proliferate using the host cells' components, resulting in

pathogen have finished multiplying, they are discharged from the
host cell, causing the infected cells to be harmed or
killed. Viruses typically remain dormant for a lengthy
period of time before beginning proliferation. This will
make someone who feels they have recovered from the
illness unwell once more. Antibiotics are useless in
treating viral illnesses because they cannot kill viruses.
However, antiviral medicine may be provided depending
on the infection.
