Read each question carefully and provide your best answer based on your understanding of biology and hypothetical zombie scenarios.
1. Which part of the brain is most commonly theorized to be affected by a 'zombie virus' to cause aggression and loss of higher cognitive functions?
Cerebellum
Brainstem
Frontal Lobe
Occipital Lobe
2. A zombie virus is most likely to be classified as what type of pathogen?
Bacteria
Fungus
Virus
Parasite
3. The primary mode of transmission for a zombie bite is through the exchange of .
4. If a zombie virus causes rapid cellular decay, it would likely target the body's system, hindering its ability to repair and maintain tissues.
5. A zombie's lack of pain response suggests a significant disruption in its nervous system's sensory pathways.
True
False
6. For a zombie to remain animated, it would still require some form of energy production, even if highly inefficient.
True
False
7. Consider the human brain diagram below. If a zombie virus primarily targets the areas responsible for rational thought and memory, which general regions would be most affected?
8. Describe the potential biological mechanisms by which a zombie virus could suppress the immune system, allowing the host to remain 'active' despite severe tissue damage and decomposition. Include at least two specific biological processes or components that might be targeted.
