make the study of different kinds of organisms very confusing.
allow scientists to easily identify different kinds of organisms.
allow scientists to change the name of an organism any time they want.
All living organisms are composed of
one or more cells
at least 100 cells.
only one cell.

Look at the scientific names for the two organisms below:
Felis domesticus
Felis bengalensis
What can you tell about these two organisms from their scientific names?
The organisms are different species, but belong to the same genus.
You cannot tell anything about an organism from its scientific name alone.
The organisms are different subgroups of the same species.
Paula is studying two different animals. Both animals are classified within the same genus, but they are different species. Based on this, it can be determined that the animals
have many shared characteristics.
live in the same habitat.
have exactly the same characteristics.
In the 1700s, organisms were broken into only two kingdoms - Animalia and Vegetabilia. Throughout the next few hundred years, the name Plantae replaced Vegetabilia, and other kingdoms began to emerge. Finally, in the 1900s, the currently accepted six kingdom system was adopted.Currently, the kingdoms include: Plantae, Animalia, Fungi, Protista, Archaebacteria, and Eubacteria.The development of the current classification system is probably due to ___________.
the invention of new technology and scientific techniques
the discovery of differences between organisms
the discovery of new organisms

During spring in Colorado, ice on the mountain tops melts into water. Some of this water gets trapped in cracks in the mountain rocks. With winter, the water in the cracks refreezes into ice. When water freezes, it expands. This often will cause the cracks in the rocks to grow, and eventually, pieces of rock break off. What type of weathering is taking place?
chemical
physical
biological
