A cellular disease is a medical condition that affects the functioning of cells in the body. This can result from genetic mutations, infections, toxins, or other factors that disrupt the normal processes within cells, leading to various health problems. Examples of cellular diseases include cancer, metabolic disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases.
The body's most specific defense mechanism is the immune system, which is responsible for recognizing and destroying specific pathogens and foreign substances. This is achieved through the production of antibodies that target individual pathogens, providing a specific and targeted response to threats.
Autophage is a term that generally refers to a self-digestive process in cells, specifically related to autophagy, where cells break down and recycle their own components. This mechanism plays a crucial role in maintaining cellular homeostasis, removing damaged organelles, and responding to stress. Autophagy is essential for cellular health and has implications in various biological processes, including aging and disease. In some contexts, "autophage" may also refer to specific research or therapeutic applications targeting this process.
To provide a specific response, I would need to know which disease you are referring to, as the effects can vary widely depending on the condition. Generally, diseases can impact levels of biological organization such as cells, tissues, organs, and systems. For example, a disease might cause cellular damage at the cellular level, leading to tissue dysfunction, which can impair organ function and ultimately affect the entire organ system. If you specify the disease, I can give a more tailored answer.
An inherited trait for a tomato plant could be its fruit size, color, or resistance to a specific disease. These traits are passed down from parent plants to their offspring through their genetic information.
The medical term for disease resistance is immunity.

A natural resistance to disease is an??
It depends on what you mean. If it is to a specific disease, it can be a number of things. If you mean a general lack of resistance, it is an immune defficiency. HIV and AIDS are examples of these.

Specific organisms that cause disease, including cellular and acellular entities, are referred to as pathogens. These include bacteria, fungi, parasites (cellular), and viruses (acellular). Pathogens can produce biological, chemical, or thermal agents that disrupt normal biological functions and result in disease in their hosts. Examples include Staphylococcus aureus (bacteria), Candida albicans (fungus), Plasmodium spp. (parasite), and influenza virus.
