CLSU Science

• Alum is known as a settlingagent
• Chlorine - chemical that is commonly added to sterilize it
• Precipitation - releases water in the process
• If heat is continously applied, the atoms of the substance, would begin to lose the attraction which holds them together, then achangeofstate occurs
• Decay - process where organic matter is broken down and returns to soil
• Anther - where pollen is produced
• Filament - male reproductive part of the flower
• Fertilization in flowering plants results in seeds
• Strength of turning effect is the pivotpoint
• Series - circuit arrangement which is more practical to use
• Oxygen - plays an important role in burning
• Potential Energy - energy stored
• Decomposers -plants that feed on dead plants and animals
• Primary Consumers - eats organisms directly
• Oxygen - most abudant element on the Earth's Crust
• Vertebrates - animals with backbones
• Vertebrae - made up of several bones

• Convex Lens -makes ovjects appear larger in a magnifying lens
• Cocci - sphere-shaped bacteria
• Lactobacillus sp. - bacteria known to help to digest
• Pathogens - microorganisms that can cause diseases
• Dormancy - seed enters in a state of being dry
• Cotyledon - seed tissue that stores food
• Peristalsis - moves the food down the alimentary canal
• Gastric Juice - juice inside the stomach containing dilute hydrovhlroric acid and enzymes
• Digestion - process of breaking down food into smaller molecules
• Solar Eclipse - Sun, earth, moon
• Lunar Eclipse - sun, moon, earth
• Nitrogen - makes up 78% in the atmosphere
• Radiation - Energy transferred from sun to earth
• Radiation - particles given by atoms undergoing nuclear decay
• Endotherms - animals that are able to keep constant body temperature
• Insects - invertebrates with six legs
• Fossil - remains or traces of an organism
• Mixture - Two or mkre substances mixed together but not joined chemically
• Light travels in 300,000 km/s
• Gravity - force that keeps the earth in the sun's orbit
• Carbon Monoxide - layers of pollutants in the air caused bt exhaust gases
• Dispersion - spreading out of colors when light shines
