@Reed check my answers
1. Antibiotics can be used to cure certain diseases caused by bacterial infections, such as strep throat. Answer choice C (strep throat) is correct. To determine the correct answer, you should know that antibiotics are specifically designed to target and kill bacteria. Diseases caused by viruses, such as the flu (answer choice A), are not treated with antibiotics.
2. Athlete's foot is caused by a fungus. Answer choice A is correct. To determine the correct answer, you should know that athlete's foot is a fungal infection typically acquired in warm and damp environments, such as locker rooms or public showers. It is not caused by swimming pools (answer choice B), bacteria (answer choice C), or a virus (answer choice D).
3. Colds and the flu are spread through sharing food or drink with an infected person. Answer choice B is correct. To determine the correct answer, you should be familiar with the common modes of transmission for colds and the flu. They are primarily spread through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person sneezes, coughs, or talks. Close contact with an infected person or sharing contaminated items like utensils can lead to transmission. Answer choice A (childbirth) and answer choice C (blood transfusions) are not common ways colds and the flu are transmitted, while answer choice D states an incorrect statement.
4. Failing to properly wash cook utensils and food preparation surfaces can result in food poisoning. Answer choice D is correct. To determine the correct answer, you should be aware of the potential risks of improper hygiene in food preparation. Contaminated utensils and surfaces can harbor harmful bacteria, viruses, or parasites, which can lead to foodborne illnesses. Answer choices A (cancer) and B (a noninfectious disease) are not directly related to improper food preparation, while answer choice C (hepatitis B) may be transmitted through contaminated food or utensils, but it is not the only outcome.
5. Noninfectious diseases include genetic diseases. Answer choice D is correct. To determine the correct answer, you should understand the distinction between infectious and noninfectious diseases. Noninfectious diseases are not caused by pathogens and cannot be transmitted from person to person. They can include genetic disorders, lifestyle-related conditions, or environmental factors. Answer choices A (cold and the flu) and B (spread through sneezing) are incorrect, as they describe infectious diseases. Answer choice C (athlete's foot) is an example of an infectious disease caused by a fungus.
6. Disease that are inherited are examples of genetic disorders. True. To determine the correct answer, you should have a basic understanding that genetic disorders are conditions caused by abnormalities in an individual's genetic material, which are inherited from their parents. Therefore, the statement is true.
7. All diseases are contagious. False. To determine the correct answer, you should understand that not all diseases are contagious or infectious. While some conditions can spread from person to person, such as through direct contact, respiratory droplets, or contaminated items, others are caused by factors like genetics, lifestyle choices, or environmental exposures. Therefore, the statement is false.
