withVerified &Updated Solutions
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
Pathway of the Heart -ANSWER - 1. Superior Vena Cava 2. Pulmonary Artery 3. Right
Atrium 4. Right Ventricle 5. Pulmonary arteries 6. Pulmonary Veins 7. Left Atrium 8. Left
Ventricle 9. Aorta
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
