Tips...

So what are some tips that you guys have when answering exam questions such as the use of the words of 'evolve' and 'develop' - the use depends on the situation...

hmm I don't know many, for those who listen to Douchy there are the use "resistant" instead of "immune" (I always say immune so that was a good one to learn) then a pretty obvious one use "affected" instead of "infected"

I have a question though. If a cell is damaged it is killed by Necrosis? and if there are too many or other factors but are still healthy it is apoptosis? is this right cause in my text book I don't think necrosis was mentioned and my teacher never brought it up//

necrosis- a type of cell death where inflammation occurs and there is no involvement from macrophages. the result of a cell damaged by unnatural causes ie. knife wound

[onerealsmartass]

i'd say that its apoptosis because if a cell is damaged and requires too much energy to repair, it will undergo programmed cell death

Necrosis is "accidental" death, apoptosis is "deliberate" death.

Basically, if it's advantageous to the body for the cell to die, it's apoptosis.
