A biome is a large naturally occurring community of flora (plants) and fauna (animals) occupying a major habitat (home or environment).
Force is applied to change an object's speed or direction of motion.
Food is mixed with gastric acid and pepsin in the stomach to help break down protein.
The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.
Veins carry blood back to the heart from the body. While arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood. Like the heart, veins contain valves to prevent blood backflow.
