The cerebrum is the major part of the brain and is responsible for the main senses (thinking, hearing, seeing).
An exoskeleton (external skeleton) is common in arthropods like insects, spiders, and crustaceans.
If no oxygen is present, cellular respiration is anaerobic and will result in fermentation where either lactic acid or alcohol is used instead of oxygen.
Reproductive (haploid) cells known as gametes have half as many (23) pairs of chromosomes as normal (diploid) cells. When the male gamete (sperm) combines with the female gamete (ovum) through meiosis to form a zygote, each gamete supplies half the chromosomes needed to form the normal diploid cells.
