What is taxonomy?

• Taxonomy is the study of classifying organisms.

• Taxonomy is the study of animal behavior.

• Taxonomy is the study of plant growth.

• Taxonomy is the study of environmental changes.

What is the importance of classification in biology?

• Classification helps scientists organize and understand the diversity of life, making it easier to study and communicate about organisms.

• Classification is primarily used to categorize organisms based on their size and color.

• Classification has no significant impact on scientific research or communication.

• Classification is only relevant for animals and not for plants or microorganisms.

What is the significance of the genus in binomial nomenclature?

• It is the second part of the two-word Latin name.

• It groups together species that are closely related.

• It is used to classify organisms into kingdoms.

• It indicates the habitat of the species.

What is a characteristic of the kingdom Animalia?

• Organisms in the kingdom Animalia are unicellular and autotrophic.

• Organisms in the kingdom Animalia are multicellular, eukaryotic, and primarily heterotrophic.

• Organisms in the kingdom Animalia are prokaryotic and primarily autotrophic.

• Organisms in the kingdom Animalia are multicellular, prokaryotic, and primarily autotrophic.

What is binomial nomenclature?

• A system that gives each species a unique, two-word Latin name consisting of the genus name and the species name.

• A method for classifying animals based on their habitat.

• A technique used to identify the age of a species.

• A way to categorize plants based on their color.

In which kingdom would you find mushrooms?

• Plantae

• Animalia

• Fungi

• Protista

What characteristics define the kingdom Archaebacteria?

• Archaebacteria are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms found in tropical ecosystems.

• Archaebacteria are unicellular, prokaryotic organisms found in extreme ecosystems.

• Archaebacteria are unicellular, prokaryotic organisms that can photosynthesize.

• Archaebacteria are complex organisms that require oxygen to survive.

What is the main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

• Prokaryotic cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells lack a nucleus and organelles.

• Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, while eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and organelles.

• Prokaryotic cells are larger than eukaryotic cells and have more complex structures.

• Eukaryotic cells can reproduce asexually, while prokaryotic cells reproduce sexually.

What is a characteristic of protists?

• Protists are multicellular prokaryotic organisms.

• Protists are mostly unicellular eukaryotic organisms that can be autotrophic or heterotrophic.

• Protists are exclusively autotrophic organisms.

• Protists are always multicellular and heterotrophic.
