1. What are Repositioned forearm magnum, Basin, Valgus angle at
the Adaptations the knee, Non-Opposable big toe
in Australopithe-
cus Afarensi
2. what is the repo- the spinal cord enters the skill from the base rather then
sitioned forearm the back
magnum
3. what is a Basin Shaped pelvis: the pelvis supports and balances the tor-
so, serving as the body's center of gravity
4. what is Valgus the femurs point toward the knees to shift the center of
angle at the knee gravity more easily
5. what is Non-Op- the toes of the foot are in line to efficiently direct downward
posable big toe force toward the ground.
6. what is alterna- Plants have a life cycle with two distinct stages, the
tion of genera- GAMETOPHYTE stage and the SPOROPHYTE stage.
tion in plants Cycling between theses two is known as alternation of
generations. In the HAPLOID GAMETOPHYTE stage, ga-
metes which are reproductive cells, are produced through
mitosis. The male and female gametes fuse to form a
diploid zygote, which then develops into the sporophyte.
The mature sporophyte produces spores through meiosis
and the spores undergo mitosis to produce the haploid
gametophyte.
7. What is radial can be split into two identical halves by drawing a plan
symmetry through their longitudinal axis in more than one direction
with their mouth forming one end of this axis. ( jellyfish,
anemones, corals, comb jellies, adult sea urchins and
starfish) animals have a top and bottom but not clear left
or right or front or back
8. What is Bilateral : can be divided into two mirrored halves by a sagittal
symmetry plane through their midline, splitting the animal into the
left and right sides. Bilaterally symmetric animals are

usually polarized, having a head and Tail region, and are
well adapted for directional movement
9. What shape are Rod Shaped
bacillus bacteria
10. What shape are Ball Shaped
coccus bacteria
11. What shape are Long spiral shaped
spirillum bacte-
ria
12. What does blood cells, cell fragments, and fluid called plasma, which is
consist of yellow colored and makes up about 55 percent of human
blood
13. what does blood Blood plasma contains water and electrolytes, proteins,
plasma consist glucose, and lipids.
of
14. What are the Red blood cells are the most abundent cells in the blood
most abundant they are also known as erythrocytes
cells in blood
15. what is white also known as leukocytes. White blood cells have nuclei
blood cells and don't contain hemoglobin and can live for years.
16. what are cell platelets, also called thrombocytes
fragments
17. What do platelets platelets help the blood clot to stop bleeding wounds.
do Platelets are attracted to a wound activate each other and
stick to the wall of the blood vessel to form a platelet plug

what is are biodi- Habitat loss , Invasive Species, over harvesting, and cli-
versity threats mate change
20. What is habitat : habitats can be degraded or destroyed as humans clear
loss landscapes or change land - use patterns for develop-
ments Highways can divide and fragment habitat, known
as habitat fragmentation. Habitat fragmentation can limit
the natural range of organisms and create artificial inter-
actions with humans and other orginisms ( deer having to
cross highways )
21. What are inva- are species that are not native to a region are said to
sive species? be nonnative or invasive. Not all nonnative species are
invasive. Invasive species can lead to significant econom-
ic and environmental harm, and many invasive species
have been introduced to an area by human activity.
22. what is over har- overfishing of a specific fish species is overharvesting.
vesting
23. what is climate changes in the climate can have profound effects on
change organisms and threaten biodiversity in a region.
24. What are the Terrestrial or land, Freshwater biomes, and Marine Bio-
worlds bioms mes
25. what is terrestrial tropical rain forest, Savanna, Desert, Temperate grass-
biom land, Deciduous Forest, coniferous forest ( also called
Taiga)
26. what are the Feshwater and marine
aquatic biomes
27. Freshwater Bio- Lakes and rivers comprise less then 2 percent of the
ms biosphere globally. They usually fall into two categories
running or standing water. Running water include streams
and rivers
28. marine biomes such as oceans make up more then 70% of the biosphere

lithosphere?
32. What is the hy- all the waters on the earth's surface, such as lakes and
droshpere? seas, and sometimes including water over the earth's
surface, such as clouds.
33. What is the at- e is the adjacent gaseous envelope of a planet
mosphere?
34. What is osteope- Reduction in bone mass
nia?
35. What is osteo- severe reduction in bone mass, it is a disease charac-
porosis? terized by low bone density and increases the fragility of
bones and the risk of bone fractures.
36. What is a chemi- when elements join, their atoms are held together. The
cal bond electrons are the part of the atom that form bonds.
37. What is a ionic : involve one atom losing one or more electrons and
bond another atom gaining the electrons that were lost by the
first atom. When atoms form iconic bonds they lose or
gain electrons to achieve stability.
38. What is covalent they share electrons to achive a full outer shell instead of
bonds gaining or losing electrons. Covalent bonds can be single,
double, or even triple bonds ( involving one, two, or three
electrons)
39. what are non When two covalently bonded atoms share electrons near-
polar covalent ly equally
bonds
