fungi obtain nutrients by absorption
Felis domesticus, is actually what 2 levels of classification
genus and species
all protists
have a true nucleus
HIV targets and attaches to a type of white cells called Helper T cells. the virus uses these cells to make copies of itself. The Helper T cells are considered
host cells
the most important difference between an endotherm and an ectotherm
how the can control their body temperature
the individuals filaments that make up the body of a fungus are called?
hyphae
a dichotomous key is used for
identification of known species
The greatest diversity of different species of the organisms can be found in
insects
is HIV a living or nonliving thing?
it is not a living thing because it cannot grow or reproduce on its own
why was the shelled amniotic egg an important advance for reptiles?
it meant they were not dependent on water to lay eggs

in the development of cats, gorillas, and whales, nourishment and oxygen are provided by the mother to the fetus through the
placenta
the Sabin vaccine is a liquid containing weakened polio viruses. Vaccinated individuals become protected against polio because the weakened viruses
promote the production of antibodies

species
the male reproductive part of a flower is called the
stamen
The reason starfish are considered evolutionary close to fish than to crustaceans is that
they have an endoskeleton
bacteria that are able to fix atmospheric nitrogen are important to the environment because
they make nitrogen available to plants in a usable form
an infectious particle made of nucleic acid surrounded by protein is a
virus
