Biped
Definition:
(n.) A two-footed animal, as man.
(a.) Having two feet; two-footed.

Quadrupled
Definition:
(imp. & p. p.) of Quadruple
Example Sentences:

(9) Guinea pig alveolar macrophages were infected in quadruplicate with log10 3.8 CFU of F889 cells grown at either 25 or 41 degrees C. Counts of F889 in the alveolar macrophages infected with 25 degrees C-grown bacteria were 40% greater after 1 day of incubation (P = 2 X 10(-4)) than were counts in the alveolar macrophage suspensions inoculated with 41 degrees C-grown bacteria.
