According to WHO, the Bird Flu virus cannot be transmitted through food cooked beyond 70 degrees Celsius.

Leukocytes are the blood corpuscles that help to build up resistance against diseases. White blood cells (WBCs), also known as leukocytes, are responsible for protecting the body from infection. As part of the immune system, WBCs circulate in the blood and respond to injury or illness.

Fructose is natural sugar present in fruits, certain vegetables, and honey. Grapes, apples, watermelon, asparagus, jackfruit, pears and zucchini are some fruits which contain high fructose.

The substrate of photo-respiration is glycolate. Photorespiration is the chemical processes that occur within a living organism of phospho-glycolate that is produced during oxygenation catalyzed by the enzyme RubisCO and inhibits photosynthesis by interfering with CO₂ fixation by RubisCO.

Cellular respiration releases stored energy in glucose molecules. During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. The energy released during the reaction is captured by the energy-carrying molecule ATP (adenosine triphosphate). The chemical equation of respiration is: C₆H₁₂O₆ (glucose) + 6O₂ →(releases energy) 6CO₂ + 6H₂O.
