Evolution,Taxonomy, Human body systems Review

 What is the importance of a standardized taxonomic system to the scientific community

• To have many different common names for one species.
• To organize species cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems.
•  To have a universal scientific naming system.
•   To analyze species genetic information

 Which of these is demonstrated by the information above?

• The need for controlling variables in experiments
• The need for classifying and naming organisms scientifically
• The importance of predicting trends from scientific data
•  The importance of questioning experimental evidence

 The scientific name of a mountain lion is Felis concolor and a house cat is Felis catus. Based on the names, you can determine that these two animals belong to the same:
 

•   Species but a different genus
• Species but a different family
•  Family but a different order
•  Genus but a different species

 A dichotomous key is used to

•  make cladograms
• identify derived characteristics
•  trace evolutionary development
• identify the species of an organism

Correctly identify the kingdom whose members exhibit these traits: most are multicellular, eukaryotic, possess cell walls, do not perform photosynthesis, non-mobile representative organisms include mushrooms and mold

•  Kingdom Protista
•  Kingdom Fungi
• Kingdom Plantae
•  Kingdom Eubacteria

 To which kingdom do the prokaryotic, single-celled microorganisms that survive the extreme temperatures in geyser, the very cold habitats of the Arctic, or the highly salty habitats of the ocean belong?

•  Eubacteria
•  Fungi
• Archaebacteria
•  Protista

 “I am a single-celled organism that often lives in or on your body. Only a few of me cause disease, but mainly I help with food digestion. Human sometimes use me to process foods like yogurt. In addition, I have a cell wall but I do not have a nucleus.” To which kingdom does this organism belong to?

•  Eubacteria 
• Fungi
• Plantae
• Protista
