The domains prokarya and eukarya can be differentiated by

• All prokarya are unicellualar and all eukarya are multicellular

• Prokarya are only protista

• Prokarya lack a nucleus and eukarya have a true nucleus

• Eukarya includes only kingdom animalia

A multicellular organism that contains cellulose in their cell wall, are eukaryotes and produce their own food would be found in which kingdom?

• Animalia

• Protista

• Plantae

• Fungi

Organisms in the same Genus, but different species are closely related. Which statement is true of these organisms?

• These organisms can not mate.

• These organisms can reproduce.

• These organisms are in different families.

• These organisms are in the same family, but not the same order.

Identify the leaf using the key provided

• Liquidambar styraciflua

• Gingko biloba

• Pinus stobus

• Populus balsamifera

The advantage of Scientific Naming or binomial nomenclature is

• All names are created in Latin, then translated to English.

• Organisms can be identified universally.

• Common names are easier to say and well accepted by all.

• There is no true advantage since common names are very specific.

If two organisms have the same genus but different species names, what else can be said of the two organisms?

• they will have different family

• all taxa will be the same

• they can reproduce

• they are not related
