Altimeter - ✔✔ correct answer An instrument that uses air pressure to record height, such as the height
of an airplane.
Anemometer - ✔✔ correct answer An instrument to measure wind speed.
Angiosperm - ✔✔ correct answer A group of plants that produce seeds enclosed within an ovary, which
may mature into a fruit.
Annuals - ✔✔ correct answer Plants that die after one growing season.
Asexual Reproduction - ✔✔ correct answer Reproduction involving ONE parent only.
Atmosphere - ✔✔ correct answer The Earth's atmosphere is primarily nitrogen and oxygen.
- atmosphere extends to the surface of about 10km.
- stratosphere extends from 10km to 50km
- mesosphere extends from 50km to 80km
- thermosphere extends beyond 80km
Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) - ✔✔ correct answer Light emission from the upper atmosphere that
appear in many shapes and colors.
Bacillus - ✔✔ correct answer a rod-shaped bacteria.
Blood - ✔✔ correct answer Fluid that circulates throughout the body of an animal, distributing nutrients
