- Q1How do viruses differ from bacteria in terms of their structure?Bacteria require a host to replicate, while viruses do notViruses have a cell wall, while bacteria do notBacteria are smaller than virusesViruses are not cells and need a host to replicate30s8.L.1.1
- Q2What is the primary method of prevention against viral infections?VaccinationAntibioticsAntifungal medicationsDehydration treatment30s8.L.1.1
- Q3Which group of organisms typically requires a host to reproduce and cause disease?BacteriaVirusesFungiParasites30s8.L.1.1
- Q4Which organism can be treated with antibiotics?FungiParasitesBacteriaViruses30s8.L.1.1
- Q5What is the main difference between an epidemic and a pandemic in terms of disease spread?A pandemic covers a wider geographical area, often worldwide, while an epidemic is local.There is no difference; they are interchangeable terms.An epidemic involves bacterial infections, while a pandemic involves viral infections.A pandemic is always less severe than an epidemic.30s8.L.1.2
- Q6In terms of disease control, what is the primary difference between an epidemic and a pandemic?There is no difference in disease control measures between an epidemic and a pandemic.A pandemic requires a coordinated international response, whereas an epidemic is often managed at a local or national level.Only pandemics can be controlled through the use of vaccines.Epidemics require the use of antibiotics, while pandemics do not.30s8.L.1.2
- Q7Which of the following is NOT a benefit of biotechnology to North Carolina's economy?Decreased agricultural productivityEnhanced pharmaceutical developmentJob creation in the biotech fieldIncreased crop yields30s8.L.2.1
- Q8Which career is directly involved in biotechnology?Genetic EngineerHistory TeacherCivil EngineerAstronomer30s8.L.2.1
- Q9How does biotechnology positively impact agriculture?By reducing the nutritional content of cropsBy increasing the need for chemical pesticidesBy making crop cultivation more labor-intensiveBy developing crops resistant to pests and diseases30s8.L.2.1
- Q10Which aspect of biotechnology has significant implications for agriculture in North Carolina?Development of drought-resistant cropsExpansion of virtual reality technologiesAdvancements in social media algorithmsCreation of more powerful computer processors30s8.L.2.1
- Q11What is a major economic benefit of biotechnology to North Carolina?Increased dependency on imported biotechnological productsDecreased state funding for scientific researchJob creation in the biotechnology sectorDecline in technology education requirements30s8.L.2.1
- Q12Which career is not typically associated with the field of biotechnology?MicrobiologistBioinformatics SpecialistBioprocess EngineerReal Estate Agent30s8.L.2.1
- Q13Which of the following best explains why an increase in a population's size could lead to a decrease in that population later on?Populations decrease in size naturally over time without any external factors.Limited food, water, shelter, and space lead to competition and a decrease in the population size.An increase in population size leads to more food, water, shelter, and space.Increased predation encourages rapid migration out of the ecosystem.30s8.L.3.1
- Q14How does the availability of water in a habitat influence the size of a population living there?Water availability has no impact on population size as organisms can adapt to any condition.Only animal populations are affected by water availability, not plant populations.Water availability impacts only the migration patterns, not the size of the population.Water availability directly impacts the population size because all organisms need water to survive.30s8.L.3.1
- Q15How does limited space in an ecosystem affect animal populations?Space limitations have no effect on animal populations as they adapt by becoming smaller.Limited space can lead to increased competition for resources, which may decrease population size.Limited space encourages species to develop flying abilities to seek new habitats.It results in all species populations increasing due to closer proximity and better social interactions.30s8.L.3.1
