Answer 1

1. Varied severity [Heterogenous disorder is a chronic disorder. So it involves varied severity]
2. Cystic fibrosis [Others are not genetic disorders]
3. O2 [Oxygen enters the body through the blood stream and reaches every muscles and converts stored glycogen,lactic acid and fat into energy]
4. 9 [Histidine,tryptophan,leucine,lysine,isoleucine,phenylalanine,methionine,threonine and valine are those essential amino acids should get from outside source. These cannot be made by our body]
5. Leptin [Leptin is a hormone that maintains body weight and responsible for making of fat cells and reduce appetite.]
6. Secrete mucus [It contains mucus granules and secrete mucus membrane in the respiratory epithelium, also helpful in keep moisturing and traps pathogens in the respiratory pathway.
