Antibiotic
Antibody
bioaugmetation
biochemical cycle
communicable disease
Fermentation
​

Answer 1

☑Antibiotic:

a medicine (such as penicillin or its derivatives) that inhibits the growth of or destroys microorganisms.

☑ Antibody:

a blood protein produced in response to and counteracting a specific antigen. Antibodies combine chemically with substances that the body recognizes as alien, such as bacteria, viruses, and foreign substances in the blood.

☑ bioaugmentation:

Biological augmentation is the addition of archaea or bacterial cultures required to speed up the rate of degradation of a contaminant. Organisms that originate from contaminated areas may already be able to break down waste, but perhaps inefficiently and slowly.

☑ communicable disease:

diseases which can be spread through physical contact that is touch ,sneeze etc are called communicable diseases.

☑Fermentation :

is a metabolic process that produces chemical changes in organic substrates through the action of enzymes. In biochemistry, it is narrowly defined as the extraction of energy from carbohydrates in the absence of oxygen.

$\huge\bold\red{Hola Mate}$

✨ Antibiotic:

Chemicals produced by microorganisms that kill, or inhibit, the growth of other harmful microorganisms.

✨Antibody:

Proteins produced by special kind of blood cells to identify and destroy microbes, like bacteria, viruses, etc.

✨Bioaugmentation

Using bacteria in treatment of sewage and industrial waste.

✨ Biogeochemical Chemical

A path for cycling of nutrients between the abiotic and biotic Components of the ecosystem.

✨ Communicable Disease

A disease which spreads from an infected person to a healthy person.

✨ Fermentation

An anaerobic process through which sugars/carbohydrates are converted into alcohol/acids and carbon dioxide by microorganisms.
