Nutrition
What are carbohydrates?
This macronutrient is the body's main source of quick energy and is found in foods like bread, rice, and pasta.
What type of immunity are you born with: innate or adaptive?
Innate immunity
These white blood cells are the first to attack the virus?
Macrophages
What is the Protist Kingdom?
This kingdom includes organisms like amoebas and paramecia that are mostly unicellular and live in moist environments.
Plants make their own food through this process.
Photosynthesis
You would use Biuret reagent to test for this essential biomolecule that helps build and repair tissues.
protein
What is the first physical barrier your body uses to block
Skin
These proteins tag invaders for destruction and are created by B-cells.
Antibodies
What are protists?
A protist or protoctist is any eukaryotic organism that is not an animal, plant, or fungus.
This animal can live on land and in water, and starts life with gills.
Frog
These do not provide energy but are necessary in small amounts for metabolism and disease prevention, and include vitamins and minerals.
micronutrients
Which type of white blood cell produces antibodies to fight specific invaders?
B-cells
The first line of defense, including skin and mucus, is called
innate
What are fungi?
Fungi are a diverse group of eukaryotic organisms that form their own kingdom, distinct from plants and animals
This part of the plant takes in water and holds it in the ground.
Roots
A positive Benedict’s test will turn this color if sugar is present in a food sample.
orange-red
What are proteins made by B-cells that bind to antigens and help destroy pathogens called?
Antibodies
These cells “remember” viruses from past infections.
B and T cells
difference between bacteria and fungi?
Bacteria are prokaryotes, lacking a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles, while fungi are eukaryotes with a nucleus and organelles.
Some animals, like frogs and lizards, can lose a part of their body, like a tail, and grow it back. What is this ability called?
Regeneration
What are nucleic acids?
nucleic acids are not tested in the lab due to its complexity but is essential for storing and transmitting genetic information.
Explain how vaccines use the immune system’s memory to protect you from diseases.
Vaccines expose the body to a harmless part of a pathogen, allowing memory B-cells and T-cells to recognize and quickly attack the real pathogen in the future.
A protein released by virus-infected cells to warn others.
Interferon
What role do fungi play in their ecosystems??
Fungi play a crucial role in ecosystems as decomposers, nutrient cyclers, and symbionts. They break down dead organic matter, releasing essential nutrients back into the soil for plants and other organisms.
Some animals can live in very cold places, while others can survive in hot, dry deserts. Their bodies change over many years to help them live in these places. What is this called?
Adaptation
