| If a population of animals can breed together and form fertile offspring they are the same | species |
| The branch of biology that deals with classifying organisms | taxonomy |
| Acetabularia mediterranea is closely related to Acetabularia crrenulata because they belong to the same | genus |
| A genus or species name can be recognized because it is in | italics |
| This category contains the second greatest number of different types of orgnisms | phylum |
| These are the seven taxa in order | Kindom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species |
| This is the language used for scientific names because it does not changes as do modern spoken languages | Latin |
| These are not useful because they are different in different places | common names |
| A classification family includes closely related | genera |
| Binomial nomenclature means that | there is a two-word nam for each species |
| These organisms membranes consist of a single layer, with long lipid molecules to protect them from melting | archaeans |
| Ferns and lillies are members of the kingdom Plantae because they are | photoautotrophic and multicellular |
| Taxonomic classification can change because | new evidence can clarify existing interpretations |
| If an organism makes its own food, it must be an | autotroph |
| Amoebae and flagellates belong to the kingdom | protista |
| All bacteria are classified as | prokaryotes |
| Angiosperm and gymnosperm are other names for members of this kingdom | plantae |
| This is NOT a characteristic of plants | cell walls made of chitin |
| Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of animals? | The ability to make their own food |
| Which of the following is NOT a characteristoc of the kingdom fungi? | All are unicellular |
| Archaebacteria do NOT have peptidoglycan in their cell walls but these do | eubacteria |
| Most fungi reproduce by these | spores |
| Body symmetry is found in most invertebrates except | sponges |
| A vertebrate is any chordate that has a | backbone |
| This type of organism requires more energy becasue it has internal heat generation | endotherm |
| An endoskeleton is a | structural support located inside of the body |
