Lightweight, porous bone that consists of an intricate network of tiny struts and girders is **spongy** bone. 3. Tissues are made of living cells and nonliving material called the **matrix**. 4. A group of muscle cells connected to a single motor neuron is a(n) **motor unit**. 5. In photosynthesis, a plant uses light energy, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose and **oxygen**. 6. The body cavity that contains the heart and lungs is the **thoracic** cavity. 7. A flower that lacks either sepals, petals, stamens, or pistils is said to be **incomplete**. ### Matching I | Number | Muscle | Term | |---|---|---| | 31 | | F. pectoralis major | | 32 | | A. biceps brachii | | 33 | | H. rectus abdominis | | 34 | | G. quadriceps femoris | | 35 | | D. gastrocnemius | | 36 | | J. triceps brachii | | 37 | | I. sartorius | ### Matching II | Number | Description | Term | |---|---|---| | 38 | provides support and rigidity to the body and stores calcium | I. skeletal system | | 39 | carries food, water, and oxygen to and from the cells | A. cardiovascular system | | 40 | produces hormones that regulate the body's activities | C. endocrine system | | 41 | protects the body from disease | E. immune system | | 42 | coordinates the activities of the body | G. nervous system | ### Modified True/False 1.

Gray wolves ( _Canis lupus_) and coyotes (_Canis latrans_) are two different members of class Mammalia. They have a similar appearance, but gray wolves are much larger than coyotes. Although these animals do not breed in the wild, they have been known to produce offspring. Should these animals be considered the same kind? Why or why not? - a.
