Responses to Pathogens

Inquiry question: How does a plant or animal respond to infection?

Investigate the response of a named Australian plant to a named pathogen through practical and/or secondary-sourced investigation, for example:

  • Fungal pathogens
  • Viral pathogens

Analyse responses to the presence of pathogens by assessing the physical and chemical changes that occur in the host animals cells and tissues (ACSBL119, ACSBL120, ACSBL121, ACSBL122)
