Infection and Response: Key Concepts in GCSE Biology
This knowledge organiser covers essential topics in AQA GCSE Biology related to infection and response, including communicable diseases, pathogens, and the body's defense mechanisms.

Page 2: Plant Diseases, Defenses, and Human Immune System
This page focuses on plant diseases, plant defense mechanisms, and the human body's defense systems against pathogens.
Plant Diseases and Defenses:
Example: Physical plant defenses include a waxy cuticle and cell walls, while mechanical defenses can include thorns and hairs.
Human Defense Systems:
The Immune System:
Definition: Phagocytosis is the process where white blood cells engulf and digest pathogens.
Vaccinations:
Highlight: Antibodies are specific to one antigen and will only work on that particular pathogen.
Page 3: Incomplete Information
The transcript for page 3 is incomplete, ending mid-sentence while discussing vaccinations. Without the full content, a comprehensive summary cannot be provided for this page.
Highlight: The incomplete information suggests that the full document likely contains more details about vaccinations and possibly other methods of fighting diseases.
Page 1: Communicable Diseases and Pathogens
This page introduces the concept of communicable diseases and the various types of pathogens that cause them. It covers viral, bacterial, fungal, and protist diseases, as well as methods of pathogen transmission.
Definition: Pathogens are microorganisms that enter the body and cause communicable (infectious) diseases in plants and animals.
The page details specific diseases caused by different pathogens:
Viral Diseases:
Bacterial Diseases:
Highlight: Bacteria produce toxins that make you feel ill by damaging cells and tissues, while viruses replicate inside cells before bursting out to release new viruses.
Fungal and Protist Diseases:
The page also outlines methods to prevent the spread of pathogens, including hygiene practices, vector control, isolation, and vaccination.
Vocabulary: Vectors are organisms that transmit pathogens between hosts.
