5 Controlling infections in hospitals has ecome much more difficult in recent years. a Suggest two reasons why MRSA is causing prolems in many hospitals. (2) The pioneer in methods of treating infections in hospitals was Ignaz Semmelweiss. He oserved that women whose aies were delivered y doctors in hospital had a death rate of 8% from infections caught in the hospital. Women whose aies were delivered y midwives in the hospital had a death rate of 2%. He oserved that doctors often came straight from examining dead odies to the delivery ward. i In a controlled experiment, Semmelweiss made doctors wash their hands in chloride of lime solution efore delivering the aies. The death rate fell to aout 2% down to the same level as the death rate in mothers whose aies were delivered y midwives. Explain why the death rate fell.

Six teenage rats were given a small dose of THC the active chemical in cannais every three days etween the ages of 28 and 49 days. This is the equivalent of human ages 2 to 8. The amount of THC given was roughly equivalent to a human smoking one cannais joint every three days. A control group of six teenage rats did not receive THC. After 56 days catheters (narrow tues) were inserted in all twelve of the now adult rats and they were ale to self-administer heroin y pushing a lever. All the rats egan to self-administer heroin frequently. After a while, they stailised their daily intake at a certain level. The ones that had een on THC as teenagers stailised their heroin intake at a much higher level than the others. They appeared to e less sensitive to the effects of heroin. This pattern continued throughout their lives. Reduced sensitivity to the heroin means that the rats take larger doses. This has een shown to increase the risk of addiction.

Candidates who ignore these words will include the figure of 30% and therefore give a response of 200 hours to 0900 hours. d The water content of the grasses that it eats are high over this period.

At one time, the oll weevil destroyed cotton crops. Farmers sprayed the crops with a pesticide. The weevil died out ut another insect, the ollworm moth, ecame resistant to this pesticide. In the 990s large crops of the cotton plant were destroyed y the ollworm moth. The pesticides then used to kill the moth were expensive and very poisonous, resulting in deaths to humans. Scientists investigated alternative ways to control the ollworm moth. They found out that a type of acterium produced a poison which killed ollworm larvae (grus). A GM cotton crop plant was developed which produced the poison to kill ollworms. This proved to e very effective and farmers were ale to stop using pesticide sprays. Now farmers have another prolem.
