Explicación

## Step 1The problem involves matching descriptions of various biological compounds or processes with their correct names. The descriptions are related to the immune system and its responses.## Step 2The first description talks about an enzyme that digests the cell walls of many kinds of bacteria and is present in some mucus secretions. This description matches the function of Lysozyme (G).## Step 3The second description refers to the ingestion of invading organisms by certain types of white blood cells. This process is known as Phagocytosis (I).## Step 4The third description talks about molecules that set the body's thermostat at a higher temperature. This is a function of Pyrogens (J).## Step 5The fourth description refers to a group of 20 or more blood proteins that cooperate with other defense mechanisms, may amplify inflammation, enhance phagocytosis, or lyse pathogens; activated by immune response or exposure to antigens. This description matches the function of Complement (C).## Step 6The fifth description talks about proteins produced by virus-infected cells that induce other cells to produce chemicals that inhibit viral reproduction. This is a function of Interferons (F).## Step 7The sixth description refers to a foreign molecule that triggers a specific response by lymphocytes. This is the definition of an Antigen (A).## Step 8The seventh description talks about proteins, produced by plasma cells that bind to specific antigens. This is a function of Antibodies (B).## Step 9The eighth description refers to proteins or peptides that serve to stimulate lymphocytes. This is a function of Cytokines (D).## Step 10The ninth description talks about a protein that forms pores in a target cell's membrane. This is a function of Perforin (H).
