The behavioral differences that can be used to classify the organisms.
A list of characteristics that can be used to classify organisms.
Based on their diet.
By placing them in groups based on where they are found.
Choose one reason why a dichotomous key would not be helpful.

Whether the animal has paws.
the age of different species of fox
the function of fur on mammals

Which one would describe the difference between the Protists Kingdom and the Animalia Kingdom?
Protist are unicellular (some multi-cellular) and animals are multicellular.
Protists reproduce asexually and animals reproduce sexually.
Protists have a nucleus and animals do not.

If you want to classify an organism that is in the Animal Kingdom which characteristics would you use?
They feed on decomposing organic matter.
They give birth tio live young.
They eat other organisms.
They have cell walls.
If a cell has a nucleus what is it called?
protist cells and are usually larger and more complex than fungi cells.
bacteria cells and are usually larger and more complex than protist cells.
animal cells and are usually larger and more complex than plant cells.
eukaryotic cells and are usually larger and more complex than prokaryotic cells.
How can you tell the difference of a protist compared to animal or plant?
Protists are single-celled organisms.
Animals and plants do not resemble protists.
Protists are typically much larger than most plants and animals.
Different species of protists do not differ greatly from one another.
If there is one reason that you would not classify an organism, which one would it be?
to organize organisms.
to easily identify organisms.
to determine the age of organisms.

They would be classified differently, because they belong to different kingdoms.
They would be classified differently, because they each start with different letters.
They would be classified together, because they were found in the same area.
They would be classified together, because they all have the same cells.
