Across
  1. 3. a structure of virus found inside capsid. Can be DNA or RNA and are codes for viral proteins.
  2. 5. macromolecule that supplies the major source of energy (Monomer: monosaccharide, Polymer: polysaccharide)
  3. 7. one of the Koch's postulates that the pure microbe culture must cause the disease in a healthy animal. Exception of it is that some individuals may have natural immunity and incubation time
  4. 9. nutrient that regulate the activity of cells (Examples: calcium, iron, sodium, etc.)
  5. 10. nutrient that regulate chemical reactions in the body (Subtypes: water soluble, fat soluble) (Example: folic acid (B9))
  6. 13. patterns of bands made from analyzing a strand of DNA. May be used to figure out the suspect of a crime scene
  7. 16. method to determine your ABO blood group and Rh type (+/-)
  8. 18. a component of blood that clot together in coagulation to seal a wound and prevent blood loss.
  9. 20. a type of pathogen that cause illness by destroying host cells intercellularly or extracellularly. (Example: staph).
  10. 23. an organism actively involved in the pathogen life cycle and are essential for transmission to humans. Mosquitoes are these of malaria.
  11. 25. macromolecule that build and repair body tissue (Monomer: amino acids, Polymer: protein/polypeptide chain)
  12. 26. a small, circular, double-stranded DNA molecule that is different from a cell's chromosomal DNA. Genes of genetic advantages like antibiotic resistance is carried in this. "The key" to the development of molecular biotechnology
  13. 27. body's tendency to maintain a constant internal system. Body temperature, blood pH range, average blood volume, blood sugar range, etc. are all maintained by this.
Down
  1. 1. the genetic makeup of an organism.
  2. 2. an artificial extension that replaces a missing body part or enhances a defective body part
  3. 4. monomer of nucleic acid (DNA), carries genetic information (Examples: DNA, RNA)
  4. 6. bacteria are coated in this. It helps it attach to area where infection is not ideal such as the nasal cavity. It helps building biofilms, which protects the bacteria from the immune system and antibiotics. Attachment of it to another may look like a Velcro.
  5. 8. factors carried in the plasma.
  6. 11. a lymphocyte of a type produced or processed by the thymus gland and actively participating in the immune response. Also called T lymphocyte
  7. 12. a type of pathogen that force host cells to make more copies of the virus, causing the cell to die. (Example: influenza).
  8. 14. use of DNA as pharmaceutical to treat disease (a "molecular bandage"). It is a very expensive treatment that may be applied for leukemia, retinal disease, hemophilia, Parkinson's disease, etc.
  9. 15. an example of artificial organ. Electronic device that helps to keep the heart contractions regular
  10. 17. this keeps your body in balance when your kidney fails. It may remove waste, water, and extra water, preventing build up of it in the body; keep a safe level of chemicals like potassium, sodium, and bicarbonate in blood; or help control blood pressure
  11. 19. the genetic makeup of an organism.
  12. 21. a structure of a virus that is composed of proteins, protects the genome, and contains enzymes needed for replication. Envelope protects this and this protects the genome.
  13. 22. a medical imaging technology that uses sound above human hearing range to image body structures, including soft tissues. Sound waves are echoed off of different density tissues differently
  14. 24. cells with the potential to develop into many different cell types in the body. Two types of these in humans - embryonic and adult.
