ASVAB Study Guide With Complete Solution
Ohms Law: -ANSWER- Opposition to the flow of current.
Pharynx -ANSWER- further filters the air and aids in protections against infection
Phenotype -ANSWER- genes that express themselves in physical characteristics ex:
eye color
Genotype -ANSWER- genetic make up, including both dominant and recessive alleles.
Allies -ANSWER- a gene which consists of hereditary factors
The Nervous system -ANSWER- Controls the functions of the body and receives stimuli
from the environment
Spinal Cord -ANSWER- major connecting system between the brain and network of
nerves. Carries impulse between all organs and the brains is also the control center for
many simple reflexs.
Epiglottis -ANSWER- Closes when swallowing to prevent food from going down the
airway into the Trachea
Ecology -ANSWER- Study of the interrelationship between organisms and their
psychical surrounding. Ecologist employ a similar set of terminology
Biosphere -ANSWER- Zone of planet earth where life naturally occure including land,
water, and air extending from the deep crust to the lower atmosphere.
Biome -ANSWER- Major life zone of interrelted species bound together by similar
climate, vegetation and animal life
Medulla (Brain stem) -ANSWER- connection between the brain and the spinal cord.
Controls involuntary actions (Breathing, swallowing, beating of heart).
Cerebrum -ANSWER- the major part of the brain. Thought to be the center of
intelligence, responsible for hearing, seeing thinking, etc
Ecosystem -ANSWER- a system made up of a community of animals, plants, and other
organisms as well as non-living aspects of its enviornment
Community -ANSWER- the collection of all ecologically connected species in an area
, population -ANSWER- a group of organisms of the same species living in the same
region
Producers (autotrophs) -ANSWER- make their own food vi photosynthesis
Decomposers (bacteria/fungi) aka saprotrophs -ANSWER- break down organic matter
release minerals back into the soil
Scavengers (vertebrates, vultures, jaklas) -ANSWER- consuming refuse/decaying
organic matter ex: carrion/decaying fish
Consumer AKA heterotrophas -ANSWER- animals that consumer other organisms to
survive
Primary Consumer (herbivores) -ANSWER- eat plants
Secondary Consumers (carnivores/ omnivores) -ANSWER- eat primary consumers ex:
wplves, lions, sharks
Tetiary Consumers (top carnivores) -ANSWER- capable of eating secondary conumers
Geology -ANSWER- is the science that deals with the history and composition of the
earth and its life, especially as recorded in rocks
Central nervous system -ANSWER- contains all the other neurons found throughout the
brain / spinal cord
Cerbellum -ANSWER- a big cluster of nerves tissue that forms the basis for the brain.
Concerned with muscular coordination and the coordination of impulses sent out from
the cerebrum
Gene -ANSWER- unit of inheritance

The autonomic nervous system -ANSWER- regulates involuntary action in the heart,
stomach and intestines
heart -ANSWER- 4. Chambered pump with two collection chambers called atria and two
pumping chambers called ventricles
Circulatory system -ANSWER- transport nutrients throughout the body and get rids of
waste
Right atrium -ANSWER- recevies deoxygenated blood from the vena cava
