Question 1

Multiple Choice

What is a virus composed of?

  • Proteins and lipids
  • RNA or DNA and proteins
  • Cells and enzymes
  • Bacteria and antibodies

Question 2

Multiple Choice

Which cells are considered the 'brains' of the immune system that Ebola attacks first?

  • Macrophages
  • Neutrophils
  • Dendritic cells
  • Liver cells

Question 3

Multiple Choice

How does Ebola virus enter the dendritic cells?

  • Through pores in the cell membrane
  • By binding to receptors for cell transport
  • By breaking down the cell wall
  • Through blood vessels

Question 4

Multiple Choice

What happens to the dendritic cells once infected by Ebola?

  • They strengthen their defenses
  • They become virus production machines
  • They activate more immune cells
  • They self-destruct immediately

Question 5

Multiple Choice

What is one of the consequences of neutrophils being activated by Ebola?

  • They start repairing tissues
  • They release more fluid causing internal bleeding
  • They become more effective against viruses
  • They activate liver cells

Question 6

Multiple Choice

What organ does Ebola easily infect, leading to significant damage?

  • Heart
  • Lungs
  • Liver
  • Kidneys

Question 7

Multiple Choice

What is a cytokine storm?

  • A strong antiviral drug
  • A type of immune cell
  • An intense immune response
  • A fluid buildup in the lungs

Question 8

Multiple Choice

What is the main way to get infected by Ebola?

  • Through the air
  • By consuming contaminated food
  • By contact with body fluids of symptomatic individuals
  • By insect bites

Question 9

Multiple Choice

How does the media influence public perception of Ebola?

  • By downplaying its severity
  • By accurately reporting statistics
  • By creating hype and fear
  • By providing medical solutions

Question 10

Multiple Choice

Compared to Ebola, how many people does the common flu kill each year?

  • 5,000
  • 50,000
  • 500,000
  • 1,000,000

Question 11

Multiple Choice

Why is it important not to panic about Ebola?

  • There are no severe symptoms
  • It can be easily treated with medication
  • It's not as widespread and deadly as other diseases
  • It only affects animals

Question 12

Multiple Choice

What percentage of people infected with Ebola die from the virus?

  • 10%
  • 30%
  • 60%
  • 90%

Question 13

Multiple Choice

What role do macrophages play in the immune response to Ebola?

  • They destroy the virus directly
  • They signal blood vessels to release fluids
  • They activate dendritic cells
  • They create antibodies

Question 14

Multiple Choice

Why is the immune system unable to effectively respond to an Ebola infection?

  • It lacks the necessary cells
  • Ebola directly attacks and disables key immune cells
  • The virus hides in the brain
  • Ebola is resistant to all immune responses

Question 15

Multiple Choice

What happens to the body during a cytokine storm caused by Ebola?

  • The virus is eradicated completely
  • The immune system shuts down
  • There is significant collateral damage, especially in blood vessels
  • The body temperature drops significantly

Question 16

Multiple Choice

What do natural killer cells usually do in the immune response?

  • They produce antibodies
  • They kill infected cells
  • They repair damaged tissues
  • They activate blood clotting

Question 17

Multiple Choice

What is the primary symptom of Ebola that contributes to dehydration?

  • High fever
  • Coughing
  • Internal bleeding
  • Skin rashes

Question 18

Multiple Choice

What is one of the effects of Ebola on the liver?

  • Increased production of bile
  • Rapid regeneration of liver cells
  • Organ failure and internal bleeding
  • Enhanced detoxification of blood

Question 19

Multiple Choice

What advice is given to avoid getting infected by Ebola?

  • Avoid consuming raw meat
  • Do not come into contact with body fluids of symptomatic individuals
  • Wear a mask at all times
  • Get vaccinated annually

Question 20

Multiple Choice

How does the Ebola virus manipulate the immune system to spread more effectively?

  • It produces toxins
  • It disables protective mechanisms of immune cells
  • It hides in the brain
  • It enhances immune cell activity
