- 4. A type of cosmetic surgery that restores function or appearance after an injury or illness like burns, accidents, or cancer. An example is breast reconstruction after cancer.
- 7. Part of your body (gland or muscle) that responds to signals in a feedback loop, like sweat glands throughout the body when you’re hot.
- 8. An agent (like a mosquito) that carries and spreads an infectious pathogen into another living organism. Malaria is spread through this agent.

- 12. A type of deceased organ donor. When the heart permanently stops beating and only occurs in hopeless cases where life-support is decided to withdraw.
- 14. Can be natural or artificial. Antibodies are introduced directly into the bloodstream of an organism through pregnancy, or injection of plasma.
- 16. The process by which proteins lose their structure and function due to heat, pH, or chemicals, this can affect enzyme activity which can stop the cells ability to carry out chemical reactions as quickly as possible.
- 18. An envelope that makes up the outside of a virus, with one side that is hydrophilic and hydrophobic. This component is also present in our food as lipids and contain 2 fatty acid molecules, glycerol, and phosphate,
- 19. The mineral Iron, is used to produce this protein in red blood cells that transport oxygen throughout the body. Deficiency of this protein can cause anemia.

- 3. A pathogenic bacteria that is spread through an open wound that affects the nervous system and has a preventative toxoid vaccine.
- 5. A heartbeat that’s faster than normal, usually over 100 beats per minute and occurs when there is a disruption to the electrical system that originates from ventricles.
- 6. A technique used in labs to separate DNA by an electric current based on size and charge. The material is gel-like with tiny ports to allow DNA to move.
- 9. A vaccine that uses specific prices of a pathogen like the antigen to create immunity.
- 10. A nitrogenous base of RNA that replaces thymine and pairs with adenine.

- 17. Once chyme enters the small intestine, large fat globules are broken down into smaller droplets and use the help of bile. This can also be a food additive called a processing agent that uses lecithin as its chemical agent used in ice cream, mayonnaise, and bakery products.
