| 1184525693 | Organism | An individual living thing | |
| 1184525694 | Organ System | A group of organs that work together in performing vital body functions. | |
| 1184525695 | Organ | A collection of tissues that carry out a specialized function of the body | |

| 1184525708 | Deductive Reasoning | reasoning in which a conclusion is reached by stating a general principle and then applying that principle to a specific case (The sun rises every morning; therefore, the sun will rise on Tuesday morning.) | |
| 1184525709 | Controlled Experiment | An experiment in which only one variable is manipulated at a time. |
