when one benefits and the other is eaten
when one benefits and the other is NOT harmed
when both organisms benefit
when one benefits and the other IS harmed
14
What distinguishes animals from other kinds of organisms, such as plants, fungi, and bacteria?
animal cells contain chlorophyll
Animals are capable of complex and rapid movement
animals reproduce sexually
animal cells have rigid cell walls
15
The largest taxonomic group organisms can belong to is
domain
kingdom
family
genus
16
An ecosystem consists of
energy
a community of organisms

Eubacteria
Viruses
Protista
Archaebacteria
18

organism
organ
organ system
tissue
22

predation
parasitism
mutualism
symbiosis
23

have a skeletal structure
are now extinct
have a common ancestor
lived at different times
24

fungi
plants
animals
27

are multicellular
all of these
have cells without cell walls
are heterotrophs
28
A pathogen is an agent that is
beneficial to humans
nearly extinct
harmful only to plants
harmful to living organisms
29
Natural selection is the process by which
organisms adapted to their environment survive and reproduce
acquired traits are passed from one generation to the next
the age of selected fossils is calculated
farmers breed larger ears of corn
30
Antibiotics are ineffective against viral infections because
viruses are protected inside their host cells
viruses have enzymes that inactivate the antibiotics
antibiotics kill bacteria not viruses
the protein coat protects the virus

development
adaptation
photosynthesis
variation
32

has the same meaning as "population"
is a broadly defined group of organisms
is a narrowly defined group of organisms
