Answer:

an emerging infectious disease

Explanation:

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), an emerging infectious disease can be defined as a newly identified and previously unknown infection in a population that may lead to serious public health concerns at local and/or international level. Emerging infectious diseases usually are caused by pathogenic organisms (like viruses) already present in the environment that acquire the ability to infect a new host species as an adaptive response to changes in ecological conditions. Some examples of emerging infectious diseases include, among others, Ebola virus disease, Chikungunya virus disease, H1N1 Influenza virus disease, etc.

Lera25 [3.4K]

The constant turnover of body tissues requires the <u>chemical energy </u>supplied by carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids.

<h3> What is Chemical energy?</h3>
  • The bonds of chemical molecules contain energy.
  • Exothermic reactions are those in which chemical energy is released during the reaction, frequently in the form of heat.
  • Some of the heat energy needed for a reaction to continue can be stored as chemical energy in newly created bonds.
  • The body transforms the chemical energy in food into heat and mechanical energy.
  • At a power plant, coal's chemical energy is transformed into electrical energy. Through the process of electrolysis, the chemical energy in a battery can also generate electricity.
