Online notes - Types of Pathogens Topic of Class 12 Biology

There are several types of pathogens affecting both animals including human beings and plants

Bacterial

The vast majority of bacteria, which typically range between 1 and 5 micrometres in length, are harmless or beneficial to humans. However, a relatively small list of pathogenic bacteria can cause infectious diseases. One of the bacterial diseases with the highest disease burden is tuberculosis, caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which kills about 2 million people a year, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa. Pathogenic bacteria contribute to other globally significant diseases, such as pneumonia, which can be caused by bacteria such as Streptococcus and Pseudomonas, and foodborne illnesses, which can be caused by bacteria such as Shigella, Campylobacter, and Salmonella. Pathogenic bacteria also cause infections such as tetanus, typhoid fever, diphtheria, syphilis, and leprosy.

Bacteria can often be killed by antibiotics, which are usually designed to destroy the cell wall. This expels the pathogen’s DNA, making it incapable of producing proteins and causing the bacteria to die. A class of bacteria without cell walls is mycoplasma (a cause of lung infections). A class of bacteria which must live within other cells (obligate intracellular parasitic) is chlamydia (genus), the world leader in causing sexually transmitted infection (STI).

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science A magnet is a substance that is drawn to certain magnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel. Magnets have the ability to draw iron to them. Natural magnets are rocks that naturally draw iron. Non-magnetic materials include things like wood, rubber, coins, feathers, leather, etc. that are not drawn to iron. Magnet characteristics It pulls magnetic materials, such as iron. The magnet's two ends are referred to as its poles. The magnet's diametrically opposed poles are drawn together. Heating, hammering, or dropping causes it to lose its characteristics. On the basis of properties types of Magnets Temporary magnets are those magnets that are magnetic for only a little duration. Typically, iron, cobalt, or nickel are used to make them. When they are close to the powerful magnet, they act like a magnet. When they are yanked away from the powerful magnet, they stop being magnetic. Permanent magnets are magnets that have magne...

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name Noble Gases Noble gases, sometimes known as inert gases or erosions, are part of the modern periodic table's 18th group. This group is made up of the following individuals: Helium is a kind of gas (He) Neon (Ne) Argon is a gas (Ar) Krypton (Kr) Xenon is a kind of xenon gas (Xe) Radon is a gas that can cause cancer (Rn) Noble gases exist in a gaseous state under typical temperature and pressure conditions. Because all noble gases have stable electronic structures, they have very little chemical reactivity. They are monoatomic gases that do not readily form molecules. 'ns2np6' represents the basic electrical configuration of noble gases. As a result, noble gases' outermost valence shells can be deemed 'complete.' The chemical inertness of the group of 18 elements is due to this. Because of the stability of certain elements, these gases form a group. These stable elements' crusts are totally filled.
