About this ebook
"This revision book has everything that I wanted when I was revising my Biology for AS-Level. It has clear concise revision notes and notes pages for you to add your own notes as you go along"
Myrevisionnotes is a series founded by what I thought was wrong with revision books for A-level. They simply didn't work for me and then I realised that this was because they weren't mine!
Simply these revision guides are a collection of clear and concise revision notes, just what you need to know presented in an easy to read format. Simple right?

AQA Biology Unit 1 - Andrew Hubbert
Biology Unit 1 – Section 3.1.1
Microorganisms as Pathogens
To be considered a pathogen it must:
Gain entry
Colonise the tissues
Resist the defences
Cause damage to the tissues
Pathogens include bacteria, viruses and fungi
How do microorganisms enter the body
Many pathogens enter through the gas exchange system (including ones that cause flu and TB)
Food and water can carry pathogens into the stomach and intestines via the mouth and into the digestive system (including ones that cause cholera)
Preventing pathogens entering
Mucous layer that covers the exchange surfaces and forms a thick sticky barrier that is difficult to penetrate
Enzymes that break down pathogens
Stomach acid which kills pathogens
How do pathogens cause disease
By damaging host tissues – the sheer number of pathogens causes damage and stops tissues functioning properly – e.g. viruses stop DNA and RNA synthesis
By producing toxins – most bacteria produce toxins which cause damage to the body – e.g. the cholera bacterium produces a toxin which leads to diarrhoea
