2. im the simple sugar your brain uses for energy. i am ______.
3. i help blood clot and am found in leafy greens. i am ______.
4. im the most abundant mineral in your body, strengthening bones and teeth. i am ______.

Explanation:

These questions are about cell biology, human health, and biochemistry concepts. Let's answer each:

1. Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell (produce ATP).
2. Cell membrane controls entry/exit (selective permeability).
3. Nucleus contains DNA (genetic material, cell's control center).
4. White blood cells (leukocytes) include T/B - cells for immunity.
5. Red blood cells (erythrocytes) carry oxygen (hemoglobin makes blood red).
6. Body temperature (normal 98.6°F, rises with infection).
7. Type 1 Diabetes: immune system attacks insulin - producing (beta) cells.
8. HDL (High - Density Lipoprotein) is “good” cholesterol (removes LDL).
9. Influenza (flu) virus: invisible, contagious, mutates yearly (needs new vaccines).
10. Osteoporosis: bones become brittle/porous (common in older adults).
11. Vitamin A (retinol) is essential for vision, in carrots, stored in liver.
12. Amino acids: 20 types, building blocks of proteins.
13. Glucose: simple sugar, brain’s main energy source.
14. Vitamin K: helps blood clot, in leafy greens.
15. Calcium: most abundant mineral, strengthens bones/teeth.
