- wildlife habitats
- protecting water quality
- lumber
- carbon dioxide production
-carbon dioxide production
True or false: Biology is the study of organisms.
True
Bubba is trying to remember the eight traits of living “things.” She can remember cells, reproduction, metabolism, evolve, develop, respond to stimuli, and inheritance. Which one is she forgetting?
Growth
A botanist ran a genetic test of a group of “things.” And it showed that members of the population had changed, at a genetic level,over time in response to changes in the environment. Which of the eights traits of living things did she observe?
Evolve
Scientific names are written in:
Latin and Classical Greek
The answer is 0.04%. What is the question?
What is the percentage of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere?
Which of the following is not a greenhouse gas?
- water vapor (50%)
- carbon dioxide (0.04%)
- ozone
- methane
- oxygen (21%)
-oxygen (21%)
Which of the following organisms are NOT an organism linked with recycling formally living organisms which provided carbon dioxide and other mineral nutrients needed by plants for photosynthesis?
- bacteria
- fungi
- lingnin
-lingnin
Why was it so important for Cyanobacteria to live in water when they first appeared billions of years ago?
For protections from harmful UV radiation so that they didn’t die.
True or false: the ozone layer is problematic because it blocks UV radiation which is important for photosynthesis.
False.
True or false: Prokaryotic cells have a nucleus.
False
True or false: heterotrophic organisms are able to make their own food using sunlight as an energy source.
False, they must obtain energy from other organisms.
True or false: eubacteria can be either prokaryotic or eukaryotic.
False they are unicellular and prokaryotic.
True or false: many plant pathogens are in the protists (like adage and Protozoa) kingdoms
False
Who am I? I am the only decomposed known to be able to completely decompose lingnin.
White rot fungi
Members or which kingdom are linked to decline in amphibians, honeybees, and the U.S. bat populations?
- animal
- archaebacteria
- eubacteria
- fungi
-fungi
True or false: Color is the most commonly used trait to determine if a mushroom is toxic.
False, there is no determined way
Which of the following traits do plants and animals NOT have in common?
- Tissues
- multicellular
- eukaryotic
- autotrophic
-autotrophic. Animals are not autotrophic plants are though.
True of false: parasites cannot be in the plant kingdom because all plants must be autotrophic and be capable of photosynthesizing.
False, there are heterotrophic plants that have lost their ability to photosynthesize.
Which of the following group of organisms would NOT be considered decomposers?
- heterotrophic eubacteria
- cattails
- yeast
- humans
-cattails
What do botanists study? Choose the most specific/ best answer.
- any organism that is photosynthetic
- autotrophic organisms with cellulose in their walls
- algae
- life
-autotrophic organisms with cellulose in their walls
What is chitin?
a fibrous substance consisting of polysaccharides, a major constituent in the cell walls of fungi.
A description of the kingdom of eubacteria:
Prokaryotic, many members of this kingdom are beneficial to plants
Description of the kingdom of archaebacteria.
Prokaryotic and typically live in harsh environments.
Description of the kingdom of protists:
Typically live in aquatic environments and algae are an example. This is what makes algae and other protists not plants.
Description of the kingdom of fungi:
Eukaryotic (with nucleus), heterotrophic, and have chitin in their cell walls.
Description of the kingdom of animals.
Eukaryotic, heterotrophic, and comprised of tissue.
Description of the plant kingdom:
Eukaryotic, multicellular, and autotrophic
