Antigens
The term antigen translates to antibody generating. All cells have surface proteins called antigens, which serve as unique identity markers. If pathogens (harmful cells with different antigens) are present, the body’s own security guards (the white blood

Antibodies
Antibodies are mass-generated in response to a specific antigen entering our bodies. Often our own immune system can generate the correct quantities of the antibody to help us recover from an infection.

Antibiotics
In cases where the infection is bacterial and it is stronger than our bodies can cope with, we can be prescribed antibiotics. These are drugs that destroy the bacteria or prevent the bacteria from replicating. In the latter case, this will buy some time f

Glucose, Glycogen, Glucagon
If there is too much glucose in the blood, some of it is converted into glycogen and stored in the liver or in muscle cells. When glucose levels drop, such as during a spell of exercise, extra glucose can be released from glycogen but only when the signal

Glycerol
It’s part of a lipid molecule, alongside fatty acids.

The acids
-Lipids break down into fatty acids and glycerol.
-Hydrochloric acid is found in the stomach.
-Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.
-Lactic acid is formed during anaerobic respiration

Mitosis
Mitosis is the formation of new cells that are identical to the parent cells.
cell division with two daughter cells each having same number of chromosomes

it does lead to the formation of gametes (sex cells).
Cell division that results in four daughter cells half coming from each parent
