Classification of Living Organisms

Stimulus is

• organisms that are made up of more than one cell

• a membrane-covered structure that contains all of the materials necessary for life.

• a change that affects the activity of an organism.

• the maintenance of a stable internal environment.

Green plants produce their own food through the process of photosynthesis.

• All living things use energy
• All living things contain cells
• All living things maintain homeostasis
• All living things grow

Excretion is:

• how a living thing gets rid of waste products.

• how a living thing uses food for energy.

• how a living thing makes more of its species, e.g. babies or seeds.

• how a living thing detects a threat in the environment.

The scientific name for an organism is made from the:

• class and family name
• genus and species name
• domain and kingdom name
• kingdom and phylum name

What is classification?

• grouping things based on their differences

• grouping things based on random ideas

• grouping things based on their similarities

Which of the following identifies the levels of classification in the correct order?

• kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species

• genus, species, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family

• kingdom, genus, species, phylum, class, order, family

• genus, species, phylum, class, order, family, kingdom

Which of the following best describes why is the classification of living organisms using the binomial naming system important?

• To distinguish one organisms and another

• Because some organisms may not be able to respond towards stimuli

• So that it can be easily understood by all scientists around the world

• To ensure that the organism is well understood
