Question 1Multiple ChoiceWhat is a virus composed of?Proteins and lipidsRNA or DNA and proteinsCells and enzymesBacteria and antibodies
Question 2Multiple ChoiceWhich cells are considered the 'brains' of the immune system that Ebola attacks first?MacrophagesNeutrophilsDendritic cellsLiver cells
Question 3Multiple ChoiceHow does Ebola virus enter the dendritic cells?Through pores in the cell membraneBy binding to receptors for cell transportBy breaking down the cell wallThrough blood vessels
Question 4Multiple ChoiceWhat happens to the dendritic cells once infected by Ebola?They strengthen their defensesThey become virus production machinesThey activate more immune cellsThey self-destruct immediately
Question 5Multiple ChoiceWhat is one of the consequences of neutrophils being activated by Ebola?They start repairing tissuesThey release more fluid causing internal bleedingThey become more effective against virusesThey activate liver cells
Question 6Multiple ChoiceWhat organ does Ebola easily infect, leading to significant damage?HeartLungsLiverKidneys
Question 7Multiple ChoiceWhat is a cytokine storm?A strong antiviral drugA type of immune cellAn intense immune responseA fluid buildup in the lungs
Question 8Multiple ChoiceWhat is the main way to get infected by Ebola?Through the airBy consuming contaminated foodBy contact with body fluids of symptomatic individualsBy insect bites
Question 9Multiple ChoiceHow does the media influence public perception of Ebola?By downplaying its severityBy accurately reporting statisticsBy creating hype and fearBy providing medical solutions
Question 10Multiple ChoiceCompared to Ebola, how many people does the common flu kill each year?5,00050,000500,0001,000,000
Question 11Multiple ChoiceWhy is it important not to panic about Ebola?There are no severe symptomsIt can be easily treated with medicationIt's not as widespread and deadly as other diseasesIt only affects animals
Question 12Multiple ChoiceWhat percentage of people infected with Ebola die from the virus?10%30%60%90%
Question 13Multiple ChoiceWhat role do macrophages play in the immune response to Ebola?They destroy the virus directlyThey signal blood vessels to release fluidsThey activate dendritic cellsThey create antibodies
Question 14Multiple ChoiceWhy is the immune system unable to effectively respond to an Ebola infection?It lacks the necessary cellsEbola directly attacks and disables key immune cellsThe virus hides in the brainEbola is resistant to all immune responses
Question 15Multiple ChoiceWhat happens to the body during a cytokine storm caused by Ebola?The virus is eradicated completelyThe immune system shuts downThere is significant collateral damage, especially in blood vesselsThe body temperature drops significantly
Question 16Multiple ChoiceWhat do natural killer cells usually do in the immune response?They produce antibodiesThey kill infected cellsThey repair damaged tissuesThey activate blood clotting
Question 17Multiple ChoiceWhat is the primary symptom of Ebola that contributes to dehydration?High feverCoughingInternal bleedingSkin rashes
Question 18Multiple ChoiceWhat is one of the effects of Ebola on the liver?Increased production of bileRapid regeneration of liver cellsOrgan failure and internal bleedingEnhanced detoxification of blood
Question 19Multiple ChoiceWhat advice is given to avoid getting infected by Ebola?Avoid consuming raw meatDo not come into contact with body fluids of symptomatic individualsWear a mask at all timesGet vaccinated annually
Question 20Multiple ChoiceHow does the Ebola virus manipulate the immune system to spread more effectively?It produces toxinsIt disables protective mechanisms of immune cellsIt hides in the brainIt enhances immune cell activity
