Question

question 9 (1 point)
what is the primary goal of epidemiology?
to study antibiotic resistance
to identify pathogens
to prevent and control diseases in populations
to understand the immune system
question 10 (1 point)
which of the following best defines epidemiology?
the study of microscopic organisms
the study of how diseases spread and their control
the study of cell biology
the study of genetic disorders

Explanation:

Epidemiology is a field within Medicine and Health (a sub - field of Natural Science). Its main focus is on population - level health. Studying antibiotic resistance is more about microbiology and pharmacology. Identifying pathogens is part of microbiology. Understanding the immune system is immunology. The primary goal of epidemiology is population - based disease prevention and control.

For the definition, the study of microscopic organisms is microbiology. The study of cell biology is cytology. The study of genetic disorders is medical genetics. Epidemiology is centered around disease spread and control in populations.

Answer:

Question 9: To prevent and control diseases in populations
Question 10: The study of how diseases spread and their control
