A patient had tested positive to ELISA Test. Identify the disease and the pathogen responsible, give reasons for the reduced/ weak immunity of the patient and trace the path, spread and effects of this pathogen in the human body.

Answer»

Disease: AIDS (Acquired ImmunoDefeciency Syndrome) 

Pathogen: Human Immuno deficiency virus (HIV). 

Reason: 

Due to decrease in the number of helper T lymphocytes, the person starts suffering from infections that could have been otherwise overcome such as those due to bacteria especially Mycobacterium, viruses, fungi and even parasites like Toxoplasma.

The path of this pathogen and its spread andeffect on the human body:

  • After getting into the body of the person, the virus enters into macrophages where RNA genome of the virus replicates to form viral DNA with the help of the enzyme reverse transcriptase.
  • This viral DNA gets incorporated into host cell’s DNA and directs the infected cells to produce virus particles.
  • The macrophages continue to produce virus and in this way acts like a HIV factory.
  • Simultaneously, HIV enters into helper T-lymphocytes (TH), replicates and produce progeny viruses.
  • The progeny viruses released in the blood attack other helper T-lymphocytes. This is repeated leading to a progressive decrease in the number of helper T lymphocytes in the body of the infected person.
  • During this period, the person suffers from bouts of fever, diarrhoea and weight loss.

will a leaf taken from a potted plant kept in a dark room for a few days turn blue black when tested for starch

Answer»
  • No, a leaf plucked from a potted plant kept in a dark room for a few days, will not turn blue-black when tested for starch.
  • This is because, since it was kept in a dark room where there was no sunlight, the plant was unable to prepare the food by photosynthesis. 
  • And starch is the product of photosynthesis. 
  • So if there was a place of photosynthesis, there was no formation of starch.

Hence, the leaf would not turn blue-black as there is the absence of starch.
