With Correct Answers
Reagent - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Substance used in performing a
| | | | | | |
laboratory test
| |
Lipoprotein - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Protein in the blood whose primary
| | | | | | | |
purpose is to transport cholesterol, tryglycerides, and other fats
| | | | | | | | |
throughout the body
| | |
acute sample - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-In the clinical laboratory,

and/or fluid; the specimen is usually obtained by cutting or by suction
| | | | | | | | | | | |
through a needle.
| | |
Enzyme - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Protein produced in cells that speeds
| | | | | | | |
up the rate of biological reactions; the names of many enzymes end in
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
"-ase" (e.g., lipase, amylase).
| | | |
, Mutation - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Change in the genetic structure
| | | | | | |
(DNA); it may occur spontaneously or be induced (e.g., by radiation,
| | | | | | | | | | |
drugs, or certain mutagenic chemicals).
| | | | |
Latent - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Condition or infectious agent that is
| | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | | | |
abnormal condition is actually present.
| | | | |
False-positive - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Test or procedure result | | | | | |
inappropriately indicating a positive or abnormal result when, in fact,
| | | | | | | | | |
no abnormal condition is actually present.
| | | | | |
Calibrate - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-To adjust the output or reading from
| | | | | | | | |
a testing device to assure that it gives a correct answer; the adjustment
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
is based on measurement of one or more known substances called
| | | | | | | | | | |
standards (or calibrators).
