Resource summary

Question Answer
transmittable diseases are called Infectious diseases
% of deaths caused world wide by diseases 25
Disease death % in developed countries 1%
Disease death % in developing countries 46%
Greatest killing diesease in history of mankind smallpox
Seven greatest killing diseases in history #1 Smallpox plague tuberculosis Flu Typhoid cholera Malaria
Seven deadly diseases of modern time #1 tuberculosis AIDS Measles Hepatitis B Respiratory Disease Diarrhea Disease Malaria
Disease affecting a large population Epidemic
An epidemic that spreads Pandemic
A disease-producing agent is called pathogen
When Illness is cause by a pathogen, it's labeled Infection
Major Types of Pathogens #1 Bacteria #2 Viruses Rickettsia Fungus Protazoa Parasitic worms prions
Major Bacterial Diseases: Cholera Plague Syphilis Tetanus Pneumonia Tuberculosis
Diseased caused by YERSINA PESTIS Plague
Disease caused by ANIMAL VECTORS are Xoonotic diseases
Anything that caries a disease is a Vectors
Hansen's disease is better known as Leprosy
Leprosy effects how many people 20 million
Tuberculosis is also known as Consumption or White Plague
Clostridium has toxins which cause botulism and tetanus
Number of people that die from diarrhea disease every year 3 million
2 Major diarrhea diseases Cholera & Dysentary
The leading infectious disease in the world H. Pylori (causes Ulcers)
Sexually transmited disease caused by Treponema pallidum Syphilis
causes blindness in 2 million people every year Chlamydia
Most common type of bacteria Streptococcus
Treptococcus mutans is found on Teeth (causes cavities)
Who said bacteria causes diseases? & when? Louis pasteur. 1870
"Bacteria causes infections" was universally excepted when? 1900's
First treatments against bacterial diseases Sulfa drugs
Antibiotics appeared when? 1940's
Major viral diseases AIDS Colds Hepatitis Herpes Influenza Measles
One of the Most easily spread infections Measles
Shingles is caused by which virus? Smallpox
Hepatitis B kills how many each year? 1 million
The body's immune response against viruses Interferon
Viruses causing the common cold are called? Rhinovirus
This disease was called the american plague Yellow fever
AIDS stands for? Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
HIV stands for? Human Immunodeficiency Virus
AIDS kills how many each year 3 million
Total AIDS victims so far? 35 million
65% of current AIDS victims are where? Africa
HIV attacks these blood cells T-Cells
Most effective weapon against viruses is? Vaccination
this treatment DOES NOT work against viruses Antibiotics
Most effective way to prevent the spread of viruses Handwashing
This pathogen resembles a bacteria but produces like a Virus Rickettsia
Rickettsia has a very strong resemblance to our Mitochondria
Best known ricketsia diseases Typhus & Rocky Mountain spotted fever
Mycology = The study of fungi
2 common fungal diseases Athletes Foot & Ringworm
This is usually caused by fungus Dandruff
Major Protozoan Diseases Dysentery & Malaria
Best known protozoan pathogen which causes Malaria Plasmodium
This is transmitted by contaminated water Amoebic Dysentery
Dysentery in Mexico, "travelers disease", is also called Montezuma's Revenge
Name 3 parasitic worms Tapeworm Ringworm Leeches
Swelling of the lymphatic tissue Elephantiasis
This pathogen was discovered in the 1990's Prions
Prion = Proteinaceous Infectious
2 major prion diseases are Cruetzfeld-Jakob Disease (CJD) Mad Cow Disease
Prions are mutated Protiens
Mad cow disease = Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE)
The prion disease known as KURU was find in Cannibals
BSE is spread through the consumption of what? Infected Meat
Interacting individuals of species in a specific area at the same time Population
the area where a population lives habitat
network of different populations living together community
Communities interacting with each other and the environment ecosystem
living components Biotic
non-living components Abiotic
Role a species plays in the ecosystem Niche
A species found usually in a specific habitat Native
Non-native and harmful. Also called Invasive
Introduced purposely Exotic
Introduced by accident Alien
Examples of non-native species introduced Starling Fire Ant Kudzu Mongoose Zebra Mussels Cane Toads
Shows effects of change in ecosystem. (i.e frogs) Indicator species
Central role in ecosystem Keystone species
Examples of Keystone species Alligators Saguaro Cactus Sea Otters
Organisms that make their own food Autotrophs
General plant eaters Herbivores
leaf eaters Foliovores
meat eaters Carnivores
Insect eaters Insectivores
Fish eaters Piscivores
plant and animal eaters Omnivores
Feed on dead organisms Detrivores
The number of different chemical defenses known in nature? (mostly in plants) 10,000
Blending in with the background Camouflage
A species appears similar to others Mimicry
This type of warning usualy comes in BLACK and YELLOW Warning Coloration
Warning Coloration appears in which colors the most? Black & Yellow
Unique relationship between 2 different species Symbiosis
Symbiosis: Both species benefit Mutualism
Symbiosis: One species benefits, other is unaffected Commensalism
Symbiosis: One species benefits, one species harmed Parasitism
A population of a species, or all of a species is no longer found Extinct
Since 1600, what % of extinctions were directly due to man? 75%
% Currently at risk of extinction: Birds 11%
% Currently at risk of extinction: Reptiles 20%
% Currently at risk of extinction: mammals 27%
% Currently at risk of extinction: plants 13%
% Currently at risk of extinction: amphibians 25%
% Currently at risk of extinction: Fish 38%
Human extinction/endangerment case studies Passenger pigeon Buffalo Whales Smallpox
Wrote the book "Silent Spring" and was considered the first environmentalist Rachel Carson
How organisms interact with each other and with environment Ecology
All of the earths ecosystems. The Global ecosystem Biosphere
Two major types of ecosystems Water & Land
Where salt water and fresh water come together Estuary (on test)
Terrestrial Ecosystems are defined by Climate & Organisms
Organisms defining an ecosystem are usually Plants
7 Principle BIOMES Tropical Rainforest Savannas Desserts Temperate grasslands Deciduous Forest Coniferous Forest (Taiga) Tundra
Permanent frozen ground Permafrost
Tundra is made of Dead Plants and animals
5 Primary Biogeochemical cycles: Water Carbon Nitrogen Phosphorous Sulfer
We are creating too much of this for the earth to handle CO2 (carbon dioxide) & CH4 (Methane)
Sulfur combining with water vapor to create sulferic acid Acid Rain
Any substance in excess that is harmful to living organisms Pollution
Major air pollutants: Carbon Dioxide Nitrogen Dioxide Sulfur Dioxide Lead
Carbon Monoxide= CO
Nitrogen dioxide NO2
Elimination of this was a rare success story Lead
Acid rain is also called Acid Deposition
Acid rain occurs when PH is below 4.0
#1 problem facing man Climate change
Insulation blanket of the earth Greenhouse Effect
Major greenhouse Gases Methane Carbon Dioxide
How much stronger is methane than CO2 23x
Humans produce what % more methane than all natural sources 150%
% of current global methane emissions are tied to human activity 60%
This Biome is a major source of methane gas Arctic Tundra
How much more methane gas is trapped in ice and the ocean than the atmoshpere 3,000x
The year temperature started being recorded 1861
Circulation of oceanic water is called the Ocean Belt
Consequence of global warming is Ice Age
Ozone= O3
What % of harmful rays does ozone block? 95%
The "Dream Chemical" Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) Also know as FREON
Can convert 100,000 ozone molecules to oxygen 1 Atom of Chlorine
Effects of lower ozone level on humans Cataracts Sunburns Skin Cancer Immune Suppression
% of water that is fresh water 3%
How much of our fresh water is trapped in Glaciers 2/3
Areas where ground water flows Aquifers
% of people in US that depend on groundwater for drinking water 60%
#1 use of freshwater Toilet flush
River so polluted that it caught on fire Cuyahoga River
Major types of water pollution: Infectious Agents Inorganic Chemicals Organic Chemicals Plant Nutrients
Examples of: Infectious Agents Bacteria, Viruses, Protozoa
Examples of: Inorganic Chemicals Acids Heavy Metals Salts
Examples of: Organic Chemicals Oil plastics solvents pesticides
Examples of: Plant Nutrients Nitrates Phosphorous
Accumulation of toxins in food chain Bio-Magnification
Process when water has high concentration of nutrients Eutrophication
Algae Bloom Eutrophication
