S- Genes that are carried by either sex chromosome are said to be sex linked. 

R- RADIOACTIVE ISOTOPES is naturally or artificially created isotope of a chemical element having an unstable nucleus that decays.

Q-  QUILLWORTS are the last remnant of the fossil tree lycopods because of their peculiar secondary growth.

J- Joints is the location in which two or more bones make contact.

Z- a zygote is used to describe the first stage of an organism that consists of just a single cell usually is used for a pregnant women.

Y-  classified in the kingdom of fungi Yeast are eukariyotic microorganisms.

X - The X- Chromosome is one of the two sex chromosomes found in humans. It forms one of 23 pairs of human chromosomes in each cell.

 

W- the water cycle is made up of four main parts evaporation, condensation, precipitation and collection.

V- The VAGINA is the reproductive system through which the women have sexual intercousre and give birth.

U- the UTERUS is part of the women sex organ of most mammals including humans. It also is hormone responsive 

T- TAY SACHS is an disease that destroys nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.

L- a LIGAMENT is a band of tissue connecting the articular extremities of bones or supporting an organ in its place.

B- the Biotic factors in an ecosystem with which the organism interacts depend on whether it is a producer, a consumer, or a decomposer. 

H: Homozygous refers to having identical alleles for a single trait. An example is The gene for seed shape in pea plants which exists in two forms. One form or allele for round seed shape (B) and the other for wrinkled seed shape (w). A homozygous plant would contain the following alleles for seed shape: (BB) or (ww). mendel

I: An invertebrate is an animal without a vertebral column.Invertebrates form a paraphyletic group. It includes all animal species except for those in the Chordate subphylum Vertebrata.

E: A dog is a mammal and is endothermic.The mammalian brain regulates endothermic and circulatory systems, including a four-chambered heart.

M: Spider crab refers to the various species of crabs of the family Madijae.It is mainly found in regions where the seabed is soft and has soft substrata. These crabs are found partially buried in the substrata.

Z=Zygote

A Zygote is formed right after a sperm and an egg unite. This “thing” will turn into a human but starts off as one little cell. I can talk about what goes on before but that won’t be necessary.

Y=Yeast

This organism is found in the fungi kingdom. This organism is used in breads sop that it can help the bread puff up to eat. Look under pizza you should find yeast under.

Flagella - flagella is a long tail that a cell has for movement for example a sperm cell which lets it travel to the get to the egg.

W= Water

Water is one of the many substances in the world. There so many properties that go with water. One is the high specific heat capacity. It is 4.184 joules. It is also composed of the elements oxygen and hydrogen.

U=Uterus

The uterus is a piece of the female reproductive organs. The fetus during gestation.The uterus provides structural integrity and support to the bladder, bowel,pelvic bones and organs. The uterus helps separate and keep the bladder in its natural position above the pubic bone and the bowel in its natural configuration behind the uterus.

Evolution - Theory that all living things have gone through, gradual changes through successive generations. All living organisms are constantly changing (evolving)

V=Vagina

This is another section of the female reproductive system. This is the opening of the female which is where something is inserted to make the baby. It is an elastic muscular canal that extends from the cervix to the vulva.

X=Xylem

 What is found in most plants. This structure is important because it allows the transport of nutrients and water. The other transport that is found in the vascular plants is phylum

DNA - a double stranded molecule that looks like spiral stairs composed of four different nucleotides Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine that carries the genetic instructions from one generation to the next

Mucus:is a slippery secretion produced by mucus membranes. It contains antiseptic enzymes and immunoglobulins that protects the epithelial cells. Other animals produce it around there bodies such as the slug for protection.

Its a young insect that is undergoing metamorphosis. They have special organs that may not have once it becomes an adult. Some larva may not even become adults.

Blood vessels - are networks of tubes that transport blood throughout the entire body.

Keystone Species:it is simply a species that has a disproportionate effect on its surrounding environment relative to its abundance. Such species affect many other organisms in an ecosystem and help to determine the types and numbers of various others species in a community. For example the prairie dog.

Gamete cells - Haploid reproductive cells that unite during sexual reproduction to form a diploid zygote. Male gametes are sperm and female gametes are eggs.

Annelid - the worm is part of the phylum annelid. The worm is a hermaphrodite its female and male. They have asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction.

Cnidaria - is a phylum and a jellyfish is a part of this phylum including coral, hydras, sea anemones. It has a gastrovacular cavity with one opening which is the mouth and anus. The jelly has a radial symmetrical body.

Juxtaglomerular Apparatus:is a microscopic tissue located in the kidneys that regulates the function of each nephron. It is found between the vascular pole of the renal corpuscle and the distal convoluted tubule of the same nephron. The three cellular components of the apparatus are known as the macula densa, also the extraglomerular mesangial cells, and the juxtaglomerular (also known as granular cells).

Inner Ear: It is one of the three main regions of the vertebrate ear that contains the cochlea and the semicircular canals. The cochlea thats located in the inner ear propagates these mechanical signals as waves in fluid and membranes, and finally transduces them to nerve impulses which are transmitted to the brain. The vestibular system of the inner ear is used for the sensations of balance in motion. Sends what it hears to the brain.

Tay sachs disease is a genetic disorder, which in most cases is fatal. It is most commonly found in infants whom die at a young age due to this disorder. The cause of this disorder is caused by one bad gene, which causes everything to go wrong. Other cells then develop prematurely and results in death of those particular cells. In this picture it described the probability that the baby of this couple will result with children with tay sachs. If both parents are heterozygous, then only 25% will not become affected by this disease. The survival rate for these children isnt very high as you can see.

Stomata are pores that are found in leaves. The purpose for these pores is gas exchange. The formation of these pores is due to the guard cells, that regulate them. They are in control of the opening and closing of the pores that these leaves contain. When carbon dioxide enters the plant, it causes photosynthesis and respiration. In this picture you can see a close up of the pores that a plant contains.

Radial symmetry can be fond in both animals and plants. This can best be described as the splitting of a plant, animal, or human and both sides are the same as the other. For instance, if this flower shown here was split radially, then both pieces would be identical to one another. Humans, butterflies, dogs, and worms have radial symmetry.

Nematodes are best known as undistinguishable animals. There are more than 80,000 species of nematodes. For the most part, nematodes are best described as roundworms. In this picture you can see the roundworm swimming around in a substance. Most nematodes live in moist environments to enhance their survival rate. Nematodes take up 90% of lofe on the seafloor on Earth.

Hydrophobic:Is when cells are afraid of water; tending to coalesce and form droplets of water as shown in the picture.

Osmosis is the process in which water diffuses. This occurs without any energy use throughout the process. In the picture you can see that only selective permeable membranes move across. that cause a equal balance of same sugar concentration. Osmosis occurs when an object is submerged under water for the most part.

This is a picture of a Pancreas that every human has in their body. This picture goes in depth of the different parts that the pancreas consists of, such as the endocrine and the exocrine. One of its main purpose is to help enzymes break down.

I-Porifera, Cnidaria, Nematoda, Mollusca, Annelida, Arthropoda, and Echinodermata are some phylas whose animals are Invetebrates. These animals have no backbone and make up 95% of animal species.

G- Gel electrophoresis is a technique used for the separation of DNA, RNA, or protein molecules using an electric current applied to a gel matrix. It seperates them in size and electrical charge which both affect their rate of movement through the gel.

F-An example of a eukaryotic flagellated cell is the sperm cell, which uses its Flagellum to propel itself through the female reproductive trac.

C- a jellyfish is a great example of the phylum Cnidaria. This phylum consists of corals, jellies, and hydras. they have a radial symmetrical body plan that includes a gastrovascular cavity with a single opening that serves as both a mouth and anus.

Pollen: It is a hard coat covering the pollen grain, protects the sperm cells during the process of their movement between the stamens of the flower to the pistil of the next flower and the reproductive stucture is called pollination.

Node:The part of the stem of a plant from which a leaf or branch grows each plant has many nodes

This is an Abiotic factor that is a nonliving component of the biosphere.

Decomposition: This Decomposition refers to the process by which tissues of dead organisms break down into simple forms of matter. In grasslands damages from fire or insects that feed on decaying matter and the movement of animals through the grass are the primary agents of breakdown and nutrient cycling.
