    test questions - AQA


    You got 8 out of 10
    1
    Which of the following is the best definition of a non-communicable disease?
    You said:
    A disease that cannot be transferred from person to person

    Correct
    A non-communicable disease is a disease that cannot be transferred from person to person. Non-communicable diseases include
    cancer, diabetes, heart disease, neurological diseases and genetic diseases.

    2
    Which of these is a major risk factor in developing skin cancer?
    You said:
    Ionising radiation

    Correct
    Ionising radiation is a major risk factor in developing skin cancer. Ionising radiation is encountered in industrial situations, sometimes in
    the environment, and ultraviolet radiation can also be ionising.

    3
    Which of the following best explains how cigarettes cause lung cancer?
    You said:
    Cigarette smoke contains chemical carcinogens

    Correct
    Cigarettes cause cancer due to the chemical carcinogens in the smoke. At least 70 carcinogens have been detected in cigarette smoke.

    4
    Which of the following best explains how cancer cells can spread around the body?
    You said:
    They can be carried in the blood

    Correct
    Cancer cells can be carried around the body in the blood. The cancer cells squeeze through capillary walls and establish secondary
    tumours.

    5
    If, in an investigation of a disease, two sets of data show a correlation, what must a scientist do to establish that it was a change in
    one variable that led to a change in the other?
    You said:
    Carry out a statistical analysis on the two sets of data

    Incorrect
    To establish that one variable causes a change in another, a possible causal mechanism must be looked for. Carrying out a statistical
    analysis - which may have been carried out in the first place - will not help to establish a cause.

    6
    Which of the following is an effect of COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)?
    You said:
    Destruction of alveoli
    Correct
    Destruction of the alveoli is an effect of COPD. Exchange of gases is impaired, and the patient will become breathless.

    Which of the following is a possible effect of a mother's smoking on an unborn baby?
    You said:
    Increased risk of birth defects

    Correct
    A mother smoking during pregnancy increases the risk of birth defects. Smoking also increases the risk of the child developing a
    number of respiratory conditions.

    8
    What are the features of cirrhosis of the liver?
    You said:
    Impaired liver function

    Correct
    Cirrhosis of the liver leads to impaired liver function. This impaired liver function can also lead to brain damage.

    9
    Which of the following is a major cause of type 2 diabetes?
    You said:
    Obesity

    Correct
    Obesity is the major cause of type 2 diabetes. There is a link between increased sugar intake and the loss of sensitivity of the body's
    cells.

    You said:
