Question 1

Match the type of animal movement with the adaptation that reduces friction or opposes gravity.
-​Buoyancy to minimize effects of gravity.
A)animals that creep or slither along surfaces
B)animals that swim
C)animals that fly
D)animals that jump
E)animals that walk or run

Accepted Answer

Buoyancy helps to minimize the effects of gravity for animals that swim, as they can use the water to support their weight and reduce friction.

Question 2

Match the following bone/joint terms with the proper description.
-ligaments are overstretched or torn
A)osteoporosis
B)bone remodeling
C)sprain
D)rheumatoid arthritis
E)arthritis

Accepted Answer

When ligaments are overstretched or torn, it's called a sprain.

Question 3

Match the type of animal movement with the adaptation that reduces friction or opposes gravity.
-Reduce friction by secreting a lubricating mucus or adjust body so that only some portion touches the ground at one time.
A)animals that creep or slither along surfaces
B)animals that swim
C)animals that fly
D)animals that jump
E)animals that walk or run

Accepted Answer

Animals that creep or slither along surfaces reduce friction by secreting a lubricating mucus or adjust body so that only some portion touches the ground at one time.

Question 4

Match the type of animal movement with the adaptation that reduces friction or opposes gravity.
-Limbs partially or fully elevate their body and only some feet touch the ground at any given time to reduce friction.
A)animals that creep or slither along surfaces
B)animals that swim
C)animals that fly
D)animals that jump
E)animals that walk or run

Accepted Answer

Limbs partially or fully elevate their body and only some feet touch the ground at any given time to reduce friction is an adaptation seen in animals that walk or run.

Question 5

Match the following bone/joint terms with the proper description.
-autoimmune disorder where the body attacks the synovial joints
A)osteoporosis
B)bone remodeling
C)sprain
D)rheumatoid arthritis
E)arthritis

Accepted Answer

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder where the body attacks the synovial joints. Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become weak and brittle, not related to joints. Bone remodeling is the natural process of breaking down and building up bone tissue. A sprain is an injury to a ligament, not to a bone or joint specifically. Arthritis is a term for inflammation in a joint, but it can have various causes and is not exclusive to autoimmune disorders.

Question 6

Match the following bone/joint terms with the proper description.
-chronic inflammation of a joint
A)osteoporosis
B)bone remodeling
C)sprain
D)rheumatoid arthritis
E)arthritis

Accepted Answer

The answer of Match the following bone/joint terms with the...

Question 7

A bone contained in the human pectoral girdle is the ____.
A)clavicle
B)humerus
C)radius
D)tibia
E)ulna

Accepted Answer

The bone contained in the human pectoral girdle is the clavicle, also known as the collarbone. The other options listed are bones of the arm and leg.

Question 8

Match the type of animal movement with the adaptation that reduces friction or opposes gravity.
-​Reduce friction by holding scales flat against the skin.
A)animals that creep or slither along surfaces
B)animals that swim
C)animals that fly
D)animals that jump
E)animals that walk or run

Accepted Answer

Animals that creep or slither along surfaces often have adaptations that reduce friction, such as holding scales flat against the skin.

Question 9

Match the type of animal movement with the adaptation that reduces friction or opposes gravity.
-Compression of elastic material is a form of stored energy that is released upon movement.
A)animals that creep or slither along surfaces
B)animals that swim
C)animals that fly
D)animals that jump
E)animals that walk or run

Accepted Answer

Compression of elastic material allows for the storage and release of energy, which is crucial for animals that jump. This adaptation helps them to efficiently use their energy for jumping, by storing energy during the compression phase and releasing it as they jump, effectively opposing gravity.

Question 10

Match the following bone/joint terms with the proper description.
-bone is built and broken down throughout life
A)osteoporosis
B)bone remodeling
C)sprain
D)rheumatoid arthritis
E)arthritis

Accepted Answer

Bone remodeling refers to the continuous process of building and breaking down bone tissue throughout life.

Answer: A 
 Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by a loss of bone density and an increased risk of fractures.

Answer: C 
 A sprain is an injury to a ligament (connective tissue that connects bone to bone) usually caused by excessive stretching or tearing.

Answer: D 
 Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system attacks the joints, causing inflammation, pain, and stiffness.

Answer: E 
 Arthritis is a general term used to describe a variety of conditions that cause joint pain and inflammation, such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Question 11

Match the type of animal movement with the adaptation that reduces friction or opposes gravity.
-Streamlined body reduces the effects of friction.
A)animals that creep or slither along surfaces
B)animals that swim
C)animals that fly
D)animals that jump
E)animals that walk or run

Accepted Answer

Streamlined bodies are a characteristic adaptation of animals that swim, as this shape reduces the effects of friction from water, allowing them to move more efficiently.

Question 12

Match the type of animal movement with the adaptation that reduces friction or opposes gravity.
-The difference in air velocity across the two surfaces creates lift, an upward force that opposes gravity.
A)animals that creep or slither along surfaces
B)animals that swim
C)animals that fly
D)animals that jump
E)animals that walk or run

Accepted Answer

The adaptation that reduces friction or opposes gravity is lift, which is utilized by animals that fly.
