Which of the following best describes a feature that distinguishes animals from fungi?
answer
Animals digest their food inside their bodies, while fungi digest their food externally.
question
Which type of plant tissue is involved in physiological processes like photosynthesis, storage, and support?
answer
Ground tissue
question
If two mice both have grey fur, similar body shapes, and live in the same area, they would likely have been considered the same species by Linnaeus when he first developed his system of classification in the early 1700s. What could be done today, that Linnaeus could not do, to help us determine more clearly if they are the same species?
answer
We could compare gene or protein sequences between the two mice.
question
If an amoeba manages to engulf a bacterium using endocytosis, what is most likely to happen to the bacterium?
answer
It will be digested by the amoeba and used as a food source.
question
An unknown plant species has separate male and female gametophytes, and releases spores into the environment. Which of the following is the most logical conclusion about the life cycle of this plant?
answer
The plant is a moss, and the gametophyte is its dominant phase.
question
Which of the following best explains a characteristic that differentiates Fungi from Plants?
answer
Fungi are decomposers that break down dead plant and animal matter, while Plants are autotrophs.
question
How would the quantity of stomata compare between plants in tropical environments and plants in hot, arid climates?
answer
Plants in hot, arid climates would have fewer stomata because they would need to prevent undesirable water loss from the plant leaves.
question
Which of the following organisms exhibits radial symmetry?
answer
Starfish
question
Which of the following accurately compares the stolon and mycelium in fungi?
answer
The stolons of two fungi connect to form gametangia, while the mycelium is made up of hyphae.
question
Which of the following best compares the roles of the reproductive structures found in an angiosperm?
answer
The male stamens hold the pollen, the female pistil holds the ovule, and the petals attract pollinators.
question
Which of the following best represents what is displayed in the image below?
answer
The relationship between different structures in a plant and their functions
question
Which of the following categories contains the most species?
answer
Phylum
question
A single-celled organism is found living in a deep sea vent at the bottom of the ocean in extremely hot water. If it is examined further, which of the following is most likely to be found within it?
answer
It will have DNA that is not contained in a nucleus since it is likely a member of the domain Archaea.
question
When the Linnaean system of classification was first developed in the early 1700s, it had three kingdoms. By the mid-1900s, it had five kingdoms. Which of the following best explains why the number of kingdoms increased?
answer
New kingdoms were needed that reflected our growing knowledge of the differences between living organisms.
question
Why might it be more useful to classify Bacteria and Archaea based on their morphology rather than solely on their phylogeny?
answer
Both domains are capable of sharing segments of DNA with unrelated organisms which makes genetic classification difficult.
question
Which of the following provides the best comparison between reptiles and fish?
answer
They are both ectothermic, but fish have gills, and reptiles have lungs.
