Viruses
They must infect a host cell to make more copies of themselves.
Viruses
Your body's overreaction to substances that are normally harmless.
Allergies
Your body's defense network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect you from germs, infections, and other harmful invaders like bacteria, viruses, and parasites, keeping you from getting sick and helping you heal.
Immune System
Who holds the record for the most watched super bowl half time show?
Kendrick Lamar
A scientific instrument that uses lenses or other optical elements to make very small objects appear much larger, allowing them to be seen and studied in detail.
A Microscope
True or False
A Virus is a living organism.
False
Substances that trigger allergic reactions
Allergens
The scientific principle that specific diseases are caused by specific, microscopic organisms (like bacteria, viruses, fungi, protists) called pathogens which invade hosts, reproduce, and cause illness
Germ Theory
What is the force that pulls objects toward the center of the Earth?
Gravity
A layer surrounds all cells and regulates what enters and leaves the cell
A Cell Membrane
The genetic material of a virus
DNA or RNA
Responsible for allergy symptoms like sneezing, itching, and swelling
Histamines
First-line defense system present from birth, providing immediate protection against broad categories of pathogens like bacteria, viruses, and fungi
Innate Immunity
In what year did the U.S. declare independence?
1776
A protein produced by an organism, acts like a catalyst, causes/speeds up a specific biochemical reaction. Its function is determined by its shape.
An Enzyme
Ways of spreading a virus
Through droplets when someone coughs or sneezes, by touching contaminated surfaces, through bodily fluids, or insect bites
What are the three ways to combat Allergies?
Avoidance, Medications, long-term solutions.
Uses specialized B cells and T Cells (lymphocytes) to create memory for future encounters, forming the basis of vaccination and long-term protection against diseases like measles.
Adaptive Immunity
Name the original Avengers
Captain America, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Thor, Hulk, Iron Man
A homeostatic process that maintains a steady internal body temperature despite changes in external conditions.
Thermoregulation
The different types of layers on a virus
Capsid or envelope
Multiple body systems reacting at once. Blood pressure droping suddenly. Airways narrow, making breathing difficult. Can develop within minutes of exposure to an allergen is all apart of what?
Anaphylactic Shock
"Which immune system provides an immediate, non-specific defense with no memory and which provides a delayed, specific defense with long-lasting memory, allowing vaccines to work?"
The innate system is immediate/non-specific, while the adaptive system is delayed/specific/memory-based, enabling vaccines.
Double Points
Name all the latin languages?
Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian
What is the formula for photosynthesis?
6CO2 + 6H2O + ENERGY --> C6H12O6 + 6O2
