Protein - answer✔Complex compound found in all living matter that promotes growth and repair
of tissue
Emphysema - answer✔Occurs when the air sacs in the lungs are gradually destroyed, causing
progressive difficulty breathing. As it worsens, it turns the air sacs clustered like bunches of
grapes into large, irregular pockets with gaping holes in their inner walls. This reduces the
surface area of the lungs and, in turn, the amount of oxygen that reaches the bloodstream. It
slowly destroys the elastic fibers that hold open the small airways leafing to the air sacs. This
allows these airways to collapse when breathing out, so the air in the lungs can't escape
