indigenous microflora

Question 6

indigenous microflora

Answer 6

are mostly beneficial to us, protect our bodies from invading pathogens, provide a healthy balance for our bodies

Question 7

saprophytes

Answer 7

decomposers. microbes that eat off of and live on dead or decaying organic matter. they break down substances into simpler forms of matter.

Question 8

infectious disease

Answer 8

a disease caused by a pathogen that invades body tissues

Question 9

opportunistic pathogens

Answer 9

microbes that live in or on our bodies and wait for the right opportunity to cause disease. can cause infection if they gain access to areas they don’t belong. they wait until a person is run down or debilitated by a condition or disease.
