What is taxonomy?

• Taxonomy is a type of dance.

• Taxonomy is the process of baking bread.

• Taxonomy is the science of classification.

• Taxonomy is the study of rocks.

Name the five kingdoms of living organisms.

• Fungi

• Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista, Monera

• Protista

• Animalia

• Bacteria

Explain the difference between a habitat and an ecosystem.

• A habitat is the physical environment where an organism lives, while an ecosystem is a specific type of habitat.

• A habitat is a larger area than an ecosystem, encompassing multiple ecosystems.

• A habitat only includes living organisms, while an ecosystem includes both living and non-living components.

• A habitat is the specific environment where an organism lives, while an ecosystem includes all living organisms in a particular area and the physical components they interact with.

How do organisms adapt to their environment for survival?

• Organisms adapt through artificial selection

• Organisms adapt to their environment through natural selection, genetic variation, and behavioral changes.

• Organisms adapt by staying stagnant

• Organisms adapt by ignoring their environment

What is genetic variation and how does it contribute to biodiversity?

• Genetic variation is the diversity in DNA sequences among individuals within a population, and it contributes to biodiversity by enabling natural selection to drive evolution.

• Genetic variation is only present in plants, not animals, reducing biodiversity.

• Genetic variation is the same in all individuals within a population, limiting biodiversity.

• Genetic variation is a man-made concept and does not impact biodiversity.

Define inheritance and explain how traits are passed down from parents to offspring.

• Inheritance is the process by which genetic information is passed from parents to offspring. Traits are passed down through genes located on chromosomes.

• Inheritance is the passing down of acquired traits from parents to offspring.

• Offspring inherit traits randomly without any genetic basis.

• Traits are transmitted through environmental factors rather than genetic information.

What is binomial nomenclature?

• Binomial nomenclature is a system of naming species using numbers instead of names

• Binomial nomenclature is a system of naming species using two terms, the genus name and the species name.

• Binomial nomenclature is a system of naming species using three terms

• Binomial nomenclature is a system of naming species using only the genus name

Describe the role of producers, consumers, and decomposers in an ecosystem.

• Decomposers obtain energy by breaking down waste

• Consumers convert sunlight into energy

• Producers convert sunlight into energy, consumers obtain energy by consuming producers or other consumers, and decomposers break down dead organisms and waste.

• Producers consume energy from consumers

Give an example of a structural adaptation in animals.

• Short neck of a giraffe

• Long neck of a giraffe

• Stripes on a zebra

• Wings of a bird for flying

How does camouflage help animals survive in their habitats?

• Camouflage helps animals stand out in their habitats, making it easier for predators to spot them.

• Camouflage makes animals more visible to their prey, increasing their chances of being caught.

• Camouflage has no impact on an animal's survival in its habitat.

• Camouflage helps animals blend into their surroundings, making it harder for predators to spot them and increasing their chances of survival.
