Living Organisms

What are the five kingdoms of living organisms in the classification system?

• Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia

• Arthropods, Annelids, Mollusks, Echinoderms, Cnidarians

• Mammals, Reptiles, Amphibians, Birds, Fish

• Bacteria, Virus, Algae, Invertebrates, Vertebrates

Name three characteristics that all living organisms share.

• Cellular organization, metabolism, response to stimuli

• Ability to fly, photosynthesis, multicellularity

Describe the life cycle of a butterfly.

• Egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (chrysalis), adult butterfly

• Egg, larva (caterpillar), cocoon, adult butterfly

• Egg, pupa (chrysalis), caterpillar, adult butterfly

• Larva (caterpillar), pupa (chrysalis), cocoon, adult butterfly

What are the different types of habitats where living organisms can be found?

• Suburbs, meadows, wetlands, swamps

• Volcanoes, canyons, valleys, plateaus

• Polar ice caps, tundra, savannah, coral reefs

• Forests, grasslands, deserts, mountains, oceans, rivers, lakes, and urban areas

Give an example of a physical adaptation of a living organism.

• The speed of a cheetah to catch its prey

• The color of a chameleon changing to match its surroundings

• The ability of a fish to breathe underwater

• The example of a physical adaptation of a living organism is the long neck of a giraffe, which allows it to reach high leaves for food in its habitat.

Explain the concept of symbiosis and provide an example.

• An example of symbiosis is the relationship between bees and flowers. Bees benefit from the nectar and pollen of the flowers, while the flowers benefit from the pollination that the bees provide.

• The connection between humans and mosquitoes, where mosquitoes benefit from feeding on human blood, while humans do not benefit from the relationship

• The interaction between sharks and fish, where sharks benefit from eating fish, while fish do not benefit from the relationship

• The relationship between lions and zebras, where lions benefit from hunting and eating zebras, while zebras do not benefit from the relationship

What is the difference between a predator and a prey?

• A predator and a prey are both omnivores

• A predator and a prey are both scavengers

• A predator and a prey are both herbivores

• The difference between a predator and a prey is that a predator hunts and feeds on other animals, while a prey is hunted and eaten by other animals.

How do plants and animals interact in a forest ecosystem?

• Animals are the primary source of food for plants in a forest ecosystem

• Plants and animals compete for resources in a forest ecosystem

• Plants provide food and shelter for animals, while animals help in seed dispersal and pollination.

• Plants have no impact on animals in a forest ecosystem

What is the role of decomposers in an ecosystem?

• Decomposers in an ecosystem have no impact on the nutrient cycle

• The role of decomposers in an ecosystem is to break down dead organisms and organic matter, releasing nutrients back into the ecosystem for use by other organisms.

• Decomposers in an ecosystem help plants grow by providing them with energy

• Decomposers in an ecosystem are responsible for hunting and consuming other organisms

Describe the process of photosynthesis and its importance for living organisms.

• Photosynthesis is a process that only occurs in animals and has no impact on the ecosystem

• Photosynthesis is important for living organisms as it is the primary source of food and oxygen production in the ecosystem. It provides energy for plants and other organisms, and the oxygen released during photosynthesis is essential for the respiration of all aerobic organisms.

• The importance of photosynthesis is limited to providing energy for plants only

• Photosynthesis is not essential for the production of oxygen in the ecosystem
