Across
- 3. non-living matter
- 5. Any microbe that causes disease(abnormal condition that negatively affects the structure or function of part or all of an organism)
- 8. the change in the characteristics of a species over several generations and relies on the process of natural selection.
- 11. A form of asexual reproduction in which one cell divides to form two identical cells.
- 13. natural or genetic ability of an organism to avoid or repel attack
- 14. an inherited characteristic that helps an organism to survive long enough to reproduce more successfully in its changing environment and can either be structural or behavioral.
- 16. living or once living organisms
- 17. action taken to decrease the chance of getting a disease or condition.
- 18. Biotic or Abiotic that influence the survival and/or reproduction of a species (selective pressure)
- 22. collective and coordinated response to the introduction of foreign substances in an individual mediated by the cells and molecules of the
- 23. microscopic organisms not visible with the naked eye that can be everywhere, both inside and outside of your body. Some are harmful, but most are non-harmful
- 26. individuals that have traits that are best adapted for the current environment are the ones that survive to breed and pass on their genes to the next generation
Down
- 1. the virus merges its DNA with the host’s DNA, and could stay there for months or years before causing problems
- 2. Groups of similar cells that perform a particular function.
- 4. Groups of organs that work together to perform closely related functions.
- 6. Traits that allow for better survival to be able to pass on and through reproductions.
- 7. the passing of a pathogen causing communicable disease from an infected host individual or group to a particular individual or group, regardless of whether the other individual was previously infected.
- 9. are proteins that recognize and bind parts of pathogens to neutralize them. Body naturally makes itself (Body protection)
- 10. a substance introduced into the body to trigger the bodies natural defenses, teach body how to fight infection when they see it again, A weakened or altered version of the virus puts the body on “alert”
- 12. The virus immediately takes over the host’s cell and uses its organelles to make copies of itself
- 15. Living things composed cells (multicellular organisms) 1 individual
- 19. system cells, tissues, and molecules that mediate resistance to infections (Defense against microbes)
- 20. Groups of tissues that work together to perform closely related functions.
- 21. are chemical compounds (medicine)that kill bacteria
- 24. The smallest unit of life – collections of living matter enclosed by a barrier that separates them from their surroundings.
- 25. non-cellular particle made up of genetic material and protein that can invade living cells and reproduce(Harmful and kills cells)
