- Eliminating the breeding places of the vectors of infectious diseases like malaria.
Question 7.
What are the various routes by which transmission of human immunodeficiency virus takes place?
Answer:
Various modes of transmission of HIV are sexual intercourse; use of contaminated hypodermic needles and syringes; blood transfusion organ transplantation; artificial insemination; from infected mother to baby during parthurition (30%) and breast feeding.
Question 8.
What is the mechanism by which the AIDS virus causes deficiency of immune system of the infected person?
Answer:
HIV attacks the helper-T cells inside the host cell, viral RNA syntheses single-stranded DNA on it in the presence of enzyme reverse transcriptase. Single-stranded DNA separates from viral RNA and forms its complimentary copy to form double-stranded DNA which is incorporated into hosts cell DNA.
The viral DNA transcribes large number of RNA particles, each of which gets surrounded by a proteinous capsid to complete viral particles.
Finally, the host helper T- cell is lysed and many HIV viruses are released. Each of these infects new Helper T-cells. So there is progressive decrease in the number of Helper-T- cells.
Question 9.
Do you think that friends can influence one to take alcohol/drugs? If yes, how may one protect himself/ herself from such an influence?
Answer:
One of the reasons for alcohol drinking or drug abuse is peer pressure. So one can be easily influenced by one’s friends to take alcohol/drugs. So one must avoid undue peer pressure with one’s own will power may seek the help of one’s parents and teachers.

Answer:
1. Amoebiasis: Direct and oral. The tetranucleate cysts are ingested with contaminated food and water.
2. Malaria: Indirect and inoculative. The sporozoites are introduced along with the saliva of vector female Anopheles mosquitoes.
3. Ascariasis: Direct and oral. Capsules with second juveniles are ingested with contaminated food and water.
4. Pneumonia: Airborne or through droplet infection or aerosols or contaminated utensils. Bacterial cysts are spread by sputum of the patients.
Question 11.
So that once a person starts taking alcohol or drugs, it is difficult to get rid of this habit? Discuss it with your teacher.
Answer:
Initially, one may be motivated to take alcohol or drugs by many causes like peer pressure, liking of taste, desire for excitement, advertisements, false belief of enhanced performance, etc.
But the regular consumption of alcohol or drugs develops dependency on it called addition. Then if alcohol or drug is not available to an addict, then he/she start showing certain unpleasant characteristics called withdrawal symptoms.
Question 12.
Explain what is meant by metastasis.
Answer:
The cancerous cells of malignant tumour initially show slow growth called the latent stage, but later their growth becomes very rapid causing over-crowding and damage to the normal cells. This phase of secondary rapid growth of cancer cells is called metastasis.
In this, the cancer extends to the neighbouring tissues like the roots of a tree. Small pieces of primary tumour break off and are carried to other parts of the body by the blood or lymph, where these form the secondary tumors.
Question 13.
