Which disease is caused by a prokaryote? [cholera, malaria, HIV/AIDS, measles]

TRUE OR FALSE: Antibiotic resistance can be developed in a bacteria by acquiring genes from other species.

Which word describes bacteria that are sensitive and can be affected by antibiotics? [resistant, pathogenic, susceptible, transmissible]

Which pathogen is capable of changing its cell surface proteins, making it hard for immune system to recognise it and for scientists to create a vaccine? [V. cholerae, plasmodium, HIV, M. tuberculosis, morbillivirus]

Which pathogen has cell structures made of a genetic material and a protein coating? [V. cholerae, M. tuberculosis, HIV, plasmodium]

TRUE OR FALSE: One way to reduce the chances of bacteria developing resistance to antibiotics is to increase the number of countries in which antibiotics are sold without doctor's prescription.

Name the enzyme that is produced by M. tuberculosis to break down penicillin before it can make a damage to M. tuberculosis cells.

What term refers to the ability of bacteria to grow in the presence of an antibiotic that would normally slow their growth or kill them?

Which pathogen is the most deadly for children below 5 years old? [HIV, V. cholerae, M. tuberculosis, Plasmodium]

Which bacteria process is inhibited by penicillin? [synthesis of DNA, synthesis of protein, synthesis of cell wall]

Which TWO pathogens have developed drug resistance over the years? [V. cholerae, HIV, Plasmodium, M. tuberculosis, Morbillivirus]
