What else can I help you with?
Is this statement true or false There is only one kind of pathogen?
scientifically speaking the answer is false.
What are the four main disease carrying microbes?
Bacterium Fungi Viruses Pathogen pathogen is correct but not protozone because the one that carries disease is the pathogen and it is also one ofthe main four. You could say it is a protozone but, the better answer would be Pathogen. So protozone is not in the main four.
Is a pathogen a type of virus that only kills bacteria?
No. The word pathogen means to "make disease". The type of virus that kills only bacteria are called bacteriophages which means "bacteria eaters".
What is the difference between a carrier and a vector?
A carrier is an organism that harbors and transmits a pathogen without getting sick, while a vector is an organism that transmits a pathogen from one host to another. Carriers may not show symptoms but can pass on the pathogen, whereas vectors are necessary for the pathogen to be transmitted between hosts.
The molecules on pathogens that enable the immune system to distinguish one kind of pathogen from another are called?
The molecules on pathogens that enable the immune system to distinguish one kind of pathogen from another are called antigens. Antibodies destroy pathogens by binding to the antigens on the pathogen.
Which of the following is NOT true about antibodies a. an antibody has more than one antigen binding site b. a pathogen can have different epitopes c. a pathogen makes more than one antigen?
c. a pathogen makes more than one antigen. Pathogens typically have multiple epitopes that can be recognized by antibodies, but they do not make more than one antigen. Each pathogen produces specific antigens that can trigger an immune response.
How is the disease transmitted How can you catch the pathogen?
Diseases can be transmitted any number of ways. To catch a pathogen, one must be in contact with another who has been afflicted.
What makes a pathogen a true pathogen?
The dimention
What is a true pathogen and an opportunistic pathogen?
True Pathogen- are capable of causing disease in healthy persons with normal immune defenses ex. influenza virus, plague bacillus, and ect Opportunistic pathogen- cause disease when the host's defenses are compromised or when they grow in part of the body that is not natural to them
A pathogen that passes from one host to another Toxic or infectious?
It is infectious.
There is only one kind of pathogen true or flase?
False. Pathogens can include a variety of organisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites that can cause disease in their hosts.
How are pathogens made harmless in order to make a vaccine?
Pathogens are made harmless for vaccines through processes such as inactivation (using chemicals or heat to kill the pathogen), attenuation (weakening the pathogen's ability to cause disease), or using only specific parts of the pathogen (such as proteins) that stimulate an immune response without causing illness. This allows the immune system to recognize and remember the pathogen, providing protection if exposed to the real pathogen in the future.
