Do you have any of the answers your self? Do you know how many years since I had 8th grade health? Do consider my answers and judge them with respect to your current and recently delivered information.
1) FALSE - Many systems in our bodies require bacteria for proper functioning (i.e. digestive sys)
2) I have no idea; based upon the other questions and where they are leading, my guess is
3) TRUE - Digestive system worms, liver flukes, and more
4) FALSE - What makes a drug beneficial versus detrimental is what it does for and/or to the body
5) FALSE - Excessive binge drinking can result in death; some would call repetitive binge drinking alcoholism and/or alcoholic drinking; some would say that bing drinking is more physiologically harmful than routine drinking depending upon the developmental stage of the person drinking
6) VIRUS - although, there is still a lot of research being done on prions which are rouge proteins
7) I have no idea
8) Contaminated Objects - means of infection transference was the contaminated glass
9) Definitely A; don't think B; possibly C; it can only be D if B is true
10) don't know what A is, definitly not C; definitley not D; guess is B
11) A and B can be cured with antibiotics; C cannot be cured but can be removed, the virus that is associated with them cannot be cured; D cannot be true if A and B can be "cured"
12) A and B are virus based so cannot be the answer; C is a thrush or yeast based; D was my first answer which means there must be some connection to a spirochete in the back of my memory
13) D
14) I'm guessing that the correct answer is C, cigarrette smoking whether it is accurrate or not.
15) B Depresant
16) C Substance abuse
17) don't know
18) A Inhalant
19) C Gateway drugs
20) D Withdrawl symptoms - but it does depend upon the drug of choice, it could be use or the affects of use
I'll leave the rest for you
