  1. 2. A microscopic organism such as a bacterium, virus, or fungus. Although viruses are not considered living organisms, they are sometimes classified as microorganisms.
  2. 5. A proposed explanation based on some evidence and used as a starting point to investigate further.
  3. 9. Tiredness.
  4. 11. Signs of disease or injury.
  5. 14. Tiny infectious agents that can only multiply when they are inside a host, the living cells of plants, animals, or bacteria.
  6. 15. A way to carefully plan experiments to investigate scientific questions or problems.
  7. 19. a final summary that interprets the results, states whether the hypothesis was supported or rejected, and explains the significance of the finding
  8. 20. In disease, a factor, such as a microorganism or a chemical substance, that can impact the development of a disease or illness.
  9. 21. A variable that does not depend on the state of another variable.
  10. 23. the number of breaths a person takes per minute, usually measured at rest by counting chest rises
  11. 25. the measurement of the body's thermal state, representing a balance between heat production and loss
Down
  1. 1. Working together on a common purpose.
  2. 3. Organisms such as yeasts or molds that reproduce quickly in moist, humid environments.
  3. 4. Group or sample expected to produce a negative result.

  8. 12. the measurement of heart rate, or the number of times the heart beats per minute (BPM), felt as blood pushes through arteries
  9. 13. A variable that depends on the state of another variable.
  10. 16. the force of blood pushing against artery walls as the heart pumps it through the body
  11. 17. a detailed, step-by-step, actionable set of instructions used to conduct a scientific investigation, designed to test a hypothesis
  12. 18. Measurements, specifically pulse rate, temperature, respiration rate, and blood pressure, that indicate the state of a patient's essential body functions.
  13. 22. A scientific procedure to make a discovery, test a hypothesis, or demonstrate a known fact.
  14. 24. A test of the performance, qualities, or suitability of someone or something.
