Who invented taxonomy (binomial nomenclature)?

• Carolus Linnaeus

• Charles Darwin

• Gregor Mendel

Answer explanation

Taxonomy (binomial nomenclature) was invented by the Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus in the mid-18th century. He developed a system of classification for living organisms that is still used today. Linnaeus' system of binomial nomenclature assigns two-part Latin names to each species, with the first part indicating the genus and the second part indicating the species.

If you found an organism that you have never seen or heard of before, how should you try to classify it?

• Determine if it is unicellular or multicellular
• Determine if it is eukaryotic or prokaryotic
• Determine if it is heterotrophic or autotrophic
• Determine if it has a cell wall and if it does, what it is made out of
• ALL of the answers in this question are correct

What taxa is in between family and class?

• Kingdom
• Species
• Order
• Phylum

An organism is multicellular, eukaryotic, heterotrophic, reproduces asexually, and has a cell wall, what kingdom does this organism belong to?

• Fungi
• Eubacteria
• Aracabacteria
• Protista
• Plantae

What is the most broad taxa?

• Domain

• Kingdom

• Genus

• Species

Answer explanation

The most broad taxa is the domain. A domain is the highest level of classification in the taxonomic hierarchy. There are 3 of them: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya.

Prokaryote

• A cell WITH a nucleus

• A cell WITHOUT a nucleus

Reproduction style that produces clones, very popular among (but not exclusive to) prokaryotes and unicellular organisms.

• Sexual

• Asexual

• Reproduction

Organisms that can make their own food are known as

• Heterotrophs

• Autotrophs

• Decomposers

• Consumers

Answer explanation

Auto means self and troph means food or feeder so autotrophs are organisms that make their own food
