A domain is the broadest classification of living things. Which of the following names the three known domains?
Eukarya, Bacteria, Archaea
Animalia, Chordata, Mammalia
family, genus, species
Plantae, Fungi, Protista
Which statement best explains how living organisms are classified into the three domains by their differences?
The main characteristics for classifying organisms into domains is whether they have vascular tissue, are vertebrates, or absorb food from their environment.
Animals are in one domain. Plants are in another domain. Protists and fungi are in a third domain.
One domain contains all the complex organisms. The other two domains contain simple, single-celled organisms with no nucleus.
The three domains are classified as organisms that are microscopic, reproductive, or visible.
A large classification of living things is made up of organisms that have many cells and use sunlight to make food. Which kingdom is the classification for such organisms?
animals
bacteria
plants
fungi
Which of the following best describes the classification these organisms are examples of?
different mammals
different invertebrates
different kingdoms
different species
The organisms below are members of one of the six kingdoms of living things. What do these organisms have in common with all the other members of this kingdom?
They are microscopic.
They feed on dead or decayed materials.
They live in extreme environments and get energy from strange resources.
They may look or act like plants, animals, or fungi.
What is the purpose of vascular tissue in plants?
to allow the plant to absorb sunlight for making food
to allow fertilization of an egg so the plant can reproduce
to absorb nutrients and water from the environment like a sponge
to allow the movement of water, nutrients, and sugars across a distance
What are the tiny tubes running from the roots and leaves to other parts of the plant also called?
spores
stalks and stems
stigma and ovules
xylem and phloem
Mosses, liverworts, and ferns all use which of the following to reproduce?
pollen
spores
angiosperm
gymnosperm
Which best summarizes the life cycle of simple plants such as mosses?
They grow from fertilized seeds produced by pollination in flowers.
They grow from seeds on female cones that are fertilized by pollen from male cones.
They grow in two generations, one that produces sperm and eggs and one that produces spores.
After a spore grows into a tiny plant that produces eggs and sperm, a fertilized egg grows into a tall, upright plant that produces spores.
Most flowers have both male and female structures for reproduction. Which numbers on this diagram indicate the female reproductive parts?
1, 2
3, 4, 5
6, 7
3, 4, 5, 6, 7
Anika’s classmates prepared a presentation about the five classes of vertebrates. Which animal groups did they include in their presentation?
mollusks, squid, octopi, sponges, and jellyfish
amphibians, birds, fish, mammals, and reptiles
sea urchins, starfish, brittle stars, sand dollars, and sea corals
spiders, crabs, insects, worms, and lobsters
From what you know about the life cycle of a butterfly, why would the butterfly lay the egg here?
When the egg hatches, the young butterfly will have a place to fly away from.
Adult butterflies always lay eggs on plants. A leaf is a safe place for butterfly eggs.
The butterfly stays with the plant. The egg will hatch into a nymph that spends the rest of its life on the plant.
The egg will hatch into a larva or caterpillar, which eats leaves, so it can start eating right away.
Cuttlefish can change colors very quickly. How does this affect their ability to survive?
It helps them find a suitable place for laying their eggs.
It helps them get oxygen from the surrounding water.
It helps them communicate with each other and identify possible mates
It helps them know where food sources are located.
Elijah is preparing for a test on animal life cycles. He needs to remember how some animals go through metamorphosis. Which animal would be an example of an animal that goes through metamorphosis?
a duck
a frog
a nurse shark
a sea turtle
LeeAnn notices a small insect in a pond near her home. The insect looks somewhat like a very small dragonfly but without wings. Her brother explains it is a young dragonfly. In what stage of metamorphosis is the insect?
adult
egg
nymph
pupa
Which of the following best explains what an adaptation is?
an adjustable life cycle
a trait that an organism inherits from its parents
a trait that helps an individual or species survive in its environment
an ability of an organism to get matter, energy, and protection from its environment
In Mr. Jackson’s back yard, woodpeckers are nesting. Woodpeckers can damage a tree if they drill all the way through the bark. Based on these data, which tree is most likely not to be damaged by the woodpeckers?
Tree A
Tree B
Tree C
Tree D
Nurse sharks are nocturnal. This means they sleep during the day and stay awake at night. What type of adaptation is this?
behavioral
life-cycle
physical
reproductive
Which term describes all of these adaptations?
physical adaptations
life-cycle adaptations
behavioral adaptations
reproductive adaptations
What life-cycle adaptation do short-day onions have?
They form more bulbs than long-day onions do.
They start to form bulbs earlier in the year than long-day onions do.
They are better adapted to areas with days that are 14 to 16 hours long.
They do not form bulbs until the summer months, when the days are longer.
