DISEASE CAUSING VIRUSES
VIRUS STRUCTURE
VIRAL REPRODUCTION
A virus is not made of
cells
•Virus can’t reproduce
unless it is inside a living
cell
•The virus uses the cells
enzymes and ribosomes to
make DNA and protein
•New viruses either bud off
of the cell or the cell bursts,
releasing lots of viruses
It is nucleic acid (DNA
or RNA) surrounded by
protein coat (Capsid)
BACTERIA VS VIRUSES
BACTERIA
VIRUS
•Made of cells
•Not made of cells
•MUCH SMALLER THAN CELLS
•Can’t be killed by antibiotics
•Example of diseases caused by
viruses are AIDS (HIV),
Smallpox, Influenza
•Can be killed by
antibiotics
•Examples of disease
caused by bacteria is
strep throat
INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL FACTORS IN DISEASE
Malaria
PKU
Lung
Cancer
Diabetes
Skin
Cancer
Light skinned
people don’t
have the
natural
melanin
protection of
darker skinned
people
Overexposure
to sunlight can
trigger the
changes that
lead to skin
cancer
Individuals who
have the sickle
cell trait
(heterozygous)
aren’t as
affected as
homozygous
individuals
Individuals who
have PKU can’t
break down
phenylalanine
If it builds up it
can cause
mental
retardation
Lung cancer is
uncontrolled
growth of cells
in the lungs
Diabetes
results from
when the
pancreas fails
to make
enough insulin
Mosquitoes
transmit
malaria
Keep
individuals with
PKU on a diet,
they don’t have
brain damage
Individuals who
smoke are
more likely to
get lung cancer
Individuals who
are overweight
and who don’t
exercise seem
to be more
affected
IMMUNITY
B-cells
T- helper cells
T-killer cells
•White blood
cell
•Make
antibodies
•White blood
cell
•Help
coordinate
immune
response
•White blood
cell
•Kill virus
infected cell
PASSIVE VS. ACTIVE IMMUNITY
ACTIVE IMMUNITY
PASSIVE IMMUNIT Y
•Person does NOT make
memory cells or antibodies
•Antibodies only are
transferred
•Doesn’t provide long-term
protection
•Natural: from
breastfeeding
•Artificial: Rabies “shot”
•Person DOES make
antibodies AND
memory cells
•Provides long term
immunity
•Natural: you have
disease
•Artificial – you get a
VACCINATION
BEHAVIORAL ADAPTATIONS
BEHAVIOR IS ANY THING AN ANIMAL DOES.
ANIMAL BEHAVIORS ALSO HELP ANIMALS
SURVIVE AND/OR REPRODUCE.
o Innate behavior is also
called inborn behavior.
o It is programmed in DNA
o Innate behaviors include
reflexes and instincts
o Examples
o human suckling.
o spiders spinning webs
o Migration: birds flying
south for the winter
o Hibernation – dormant
when cold
o Estivation – dormant
when hot
LEARNED BEHAVIOR
Imprinting
• Learning
who your
Mother is
• Lorenz
geese
Conditioning
Habituation
• Pairing
stimuli
• Pavlov’s
Dogs
• Learning to
ignore
• Dog no
longer sees
human as
threat
Trial and
Error
•Learning
by trying
SOCIAL BEHAVIOR
Communication
•Can be with words, signals
or chemicals (pheromones)
Courtship
•Behavior to get a mate
•Dances, songs
Territorial
•Fighting fish
