A student wants to use the Venn diagram below to show the characteristics of two kingdoms of organisms. The characteristics that the two kingdoms share will be listed in the shaded area where the circles intersect.Which of these is a characteristic that the student should list in the shaded part of the diagram? A Heterotrophic B Mobile C Prokaryotic D Multicellular
D
Adult mountain lions (Puma concolor) are almost 2 meters long. They have a black spot over each eye. The common names used throughout the United States for this species are listed below. Why is it best for scientists to use the name from the standardized taxonomic system? A The standardized name differentiates mountain lions and pumas. B The standardized name is less descriptive of the animal that has been observed. C Communication with other scientists about mountain lions will be reduced. D All scientists will be using one name for mountain lions.
C

J. Arthropods of the same species
Arthropods are joint-legged animals. Spiders, crabs, pill bugs, centipedes, and millipedes are examples of the many types of arthropods. Which of these arthropods are most closely related?

A
As shown in the cladogram in the photo, what characteristics do ferns, cone-bearing plants, and flowering plants all have in common? A. Vascular tissues B. Seed production C. Flower production D. All developed at about the same time.
B
Correctly identify the kingdom whose member exhibit these traits: most are multicellular, eukaryotic, possess cell walls, do not perform photosynthesis, non-mobile, and representative organisms include mushrooms and molds. A. Kingdom Protista B. Kingdom Fungi C. Kingdom Plantae D. Kingdom Eubacteria
B
Frogs and toads belong to the order Anura. The smallest organism in this order is about 7 millimeters long, while the largest member is about 30 centimeters long. Which of these lists best describes this order?
C
Having a standard taxonomic system benefits the scientific community by allowing scientists from all over the world to do which of the following? A Have a common system for the classification of locations containing fossils B Use a similar system to classify the impact of removing species from ecosystems C Have a common understanding in the classification of organisms D Understand how other scientists classify predator-prey relationships
J
The Linnaean taxonomic system classifies organisms into divisions called taxa. If two organisms belong to the same taxonomic group, they are related. Similarity at which of these levels indicates the closest relationship? F Kingdom G Class H Order J Genus
C
The bullfrog, Rana catesbeana, is most closely related to the - A. Spotted chorus frog, Pseudacris clarki B. Asian flying frog, Polypedates leucomystax C. Northern leopard frog, Rana pipens D. African bullfrog, Pyxicephalus adspersus
J
The diagram shows a dichotomous key and a picture of a fruit. According to the key, the fruit comes from which species of tree? F Fraxinus americana G Fraxinus nigra H Acer platanoides J Acer negundo
C
The diagram shows taxonomic groups and a major distinguishing characteristic of all but two of them. Which characteristics will be used to complete the chart? A. Motile -------- Non Motile B. Nonphotosynthetic ------ photosynthetic C. Autotrophic ----- Heterotrophic D. No nucleus ----- Nucleus
D. Organisms 2 and 3
Using a light microscope, a student identified the following characteristics of four organisms found in a sample of pond water. Based on the observations of the student, which organisms most likely belong to the taxonomic group for bacteria? A Organisms 1 and 2 B Organisms 3 and 4 C Organisms 1 and 4 D Organisms 2 and 3
C. To have a universal scientific naming system.
What is the importance of a standard taxonomic system to the scientific community? A. To have many different common names for one species B. To organize species cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems. C. To have a universal scientific naming system. D. To analyze species genetic information
D. Genus and species name
What is the scientific name made up of? A. Kingdom and species name B. Family and genus name C. Domain and Kingdom name D. Genus and species name
