family
genus
class
species
3
Scientific names are specific - meaning they do not vary from place to place
True
False
4
If two organisms are in the same phylum, they must also be in the same
species
kingdom
class
phylum
5
Similarity at which of these levels indicates the closest relationship?
Order
Kingdom
Class
Genus

All bacteria
are multicellular heterotrophs
have cell walls containing cellulose
have cell walls and no nuclei
are eukaryotes
7
Which characteristic applies to all organisms in the kingdom protista?
photosynthetic
eukaryote
prokaryote
unicellular
8
a family tree that classifies organisms by their evolutionary history
cladogram
dichotomous key
classification key
phylogeny (phylogenic tree)
9
A _______shows older traits on the bottom and new traits on the top
Punnett square
classification key
cladogram
dichotomous key
10
Which organism in the table is most closely related to humans?
Sponge
Fern
Fungus
Protozoan
11
Which of these arthropods are most closely related?
Arthropods of the same species
Arthropods of the same class
Arthropods of the same genus
Arthropods of the same family
12
Which of the following describes the MOST significant role of fungi in nature?
capture nitrogen from the air
decompose matter
produce oxygen
create energy
13
Which kingdom consists of mainly multicellular producers?
plant
animal
protist
fungi
14
Acer rubrum
rubrum is the genus name
Acer is the species name
rubrum is the species name
Acer is the kingdom name
15
What are the advantages of having a universal naming system for organisms?
The scientific name does not address habitat
The same organism name can be recognized in all countries
Because latin is the widely accepted language in science
Viruses scientific name can be applied to disease
16
Which organism in the table shown is MOST closely related to the common dolphin?
Bat Star
Human
Killer Whale
Giant Kelp
17
An organism that is autotrophic, with membrane-bound organelles is most likely--
protista
eubacteria
archaebacteria
animalia
18
How many kingdoms do scientists use to classify living things today?
6
4
8
2
19
How do fungi take in and use nutrients from their surroundings
they capture and kill them
they chop and swallow them
they absorb and chew them
they absorb and digest them
20
Which organism in the table is MOST closely related to the chimpanzee?
monarch butterfly
tiger snake
wolf
humans
21
Why did Linnaeus use Latin words to name organisms?
It was his native language.
It was the language of scientists at that time.
He wanted other scientists to learn Latin.
To prevent other scientists from copying his notes.
22
The branch of science that identifies and categorizes organisms
nomenclature
taxonomy
microbiology
pathology
23
Based on the classification (dichotomous)key, which beetle in shown in the picture?
Red Poplar Beetle
Colorado Beetle
Timberman Beetle
Ladybird Beetle
24
Which of the following characteristics describes Kingdom Animalia?
multicellular hetrotrophs
unicellular
multicellular autotrophs
cells contain a cell wall
25
Why would scientists want to use a taxonomic system that is standardized?
Because Linnaeus established the system
In order to place organisms in different groups
So that Latin names can be applied for a practical purpose
In order to avoid confusion with the ID of organisms
26
Which kingdom contains organisms that have cell walls of chitin and cannot photosynthesize?
animalia
fungi
plantae
protista
27
What factors do the kingdoms Protista, Plantae, Fungi and Animalia have in common?
They are all prokaryotes
They are all eukaryotes
They are all photosynthetic organisms
They are all multicellular organisms
28
How are plants and protists similar?
both contain only unicellular organisms
both groups contain autotrophs
both have cell membranes, but no cell wall
both groups are prokaryotic
29
Why is it best for scientists to use the name from the standardized taxonomic system?
All scientists will be using one name for an organism
Communication with other scientists will be reduced
The standardized name is less descriptive of the organism
The standardized name differentiates organisms
30
Which statement best describes members of the plant kingdom?
Unicellular/multicellular, heterotrophic
Unicellular, simple, autotrophic
Multicellular, autotrophic
Unicellular/multicellular, autotrophic
31
One characteristic that fungi and plants have in common is --
multicellular
heterotrophic
mobile
prokaryotic
32

plant
animal
fungi
archaebacteria
33

plant
protist
fungi
animal
34
What is taxonomy?
the name of Aristotle's classification system
the scientific study of how living things are classified
the process used by geologists to classify rocks
the process of observing an organism's behavior
35
An organism described as single-celled, no nucleus, with a cell wall is most likely --
protist
bacteria
plant
animal
36
The division of organisms into groups or classes based on characteristics is
physics
taxonomy
biology
classification
