Answer:

Disease caused by close contact or touch

Explanation:

Pathogens are disease-causing organisms. A wide range of organisms like bacteria, viruses, fungi, helminths could cause diseases in man. The pathogens are grouped into two types-

infectious/contagious/communicable. (e.g.common cold)

non-infectious/non-contagious/noncommunicable(e.g.cancer)

The pathogens transmitted to the host body by touching, coughing, sneezing or by close contact are called as contagions.

The agent which causes diseases by close contact or touch is called contagions

A pathogen is a disease carrying vector that has the ability to spread using a variety of different mechanisms. A pathogen that is a contagion has the ability to spread through touch. An example of such a pathogen would be the one that results in staph infections.

Pathogens are transmitted in only two ways: by direct contact and by vectors.
Marina86 [1]

Answer: False

Explanation:

Pathogens can be transmitted in many ways. It can spread by direct contact, indirect contact, or by vectors.

The mode of transmission can be skin contact, airborne particles, touching a surface, bodily fluids, touched by an infected person.

The mode of transmission can be vector that carries disease and helps in disease transmission.

So, the pathogens can be transmitted by direct contact, indirect contact or by vectors and by many more ways.

Answers:

1. Facilitated diffusion: the process by which some molecules that are not able to pass directly through a cell membrane are able to enter the cell with the aid of transport proteins.

2. Osmosis: the diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane.

3. Diffusion: the spreading out of molecules across a cell membrane until to they are equally concentrated.

Step-by-step explanation:

Diffusion is the spontaneous movement of molecules across a membrane from an area of high concentration to one of low concentration gradient.

Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to one of high solute concentration.

Facilitated transport occurs when molecules cannot diffuse directly through a cell membrane but can diffuse down a concentration gradient through transport channels in the membrane.
