GCSE Biology - Communicable Disease | Protist & Fungal Disease

⭐️ https://www.cognito.org/ ⭐️

** WHAT'S COVERED **
1. Fungi
Eukaryotic organisms.
Unicellular (e.g., yeast) and multicellular (e.g., mushrooms).
Structure of multicellular fungi (hyphae) and reproduction (spores).
2. Fungal Diseases
Example: Rose Black Spot.
Symptoms (purple/black spots, yellowing leaves, reduced photosynthesis).
Spread (water, wind).
Treatment (removing infected leaves, fungicide).
3. Protists
Eukaryotic organisms.
Mostly unicellular.
Parasitic protists and role of vectors in transport.
4. Protist Diseases
Example: Malaria.
Caused by a parasitic protist requiring a host.
Spread by vectors (mosquitoes) between hosts.
Symptoms (fever, headaches, recurrent episodes) and potential severity.
Prevention methods targeting vectors (reducing numbers, preventing feeding).
