    This document contains sample exam questions about communicable diseases and the immune system. 1. The first question asks students to describe how to prepare an uncontaminated bacterial culture in a Petri dish, explaining the reasons for each step. 2. The second question is about rose black spot, a fungal plant disease. Students are asked how the disease affects plant growth and how it can be treated. 3. The third question provides context about white blood cells and immunity before asking students to describe two other ways white blood cells defend the body against pathogens, beyond producing antibodies.
