A group of similar organisms that can mate and reproduce
What is a species
100
This is the largest group the modern classifications system.
What is Kingdom
100
These are the two main groups of plants.
What are vascular and non-vascular
100
These are the five categories of vertebrates.
What are mammals, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and birds
100
These types of adaptations help a plants survive in the desert.
What is spiny leaves and thick stems.
200
A characteristic that enables an organism to survive and reproduce in its environment.
What is adaptation
200
These are the Six Kingdoms of Life.
What are Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protists, Fungi, Plants and Animals
200
Vascular plants that produce seeds are called gymnosperms and this...
What are angiosperms
200
This group of animals makes of the largest percentage of animals on earth.
What are animals with backbones (invertebrates)
200
This is the largest group of invertebrates.
What are arthopods
300
The part of Earth that can support living things.
What is the biosphere
300
Scientists classify organisms by using three main characteristics:
1. The structure of the organism
2. How it reproduces
3. and this....
What is how it feeds
300
These are two traits of nonvascular plants.
What are the are small and do not have tubes to carry water and materials.
300
This group of animals are classified as chordates.
What are vertebrates
300
This is the reason why scientists classify organisms
What is because it makes studying them easier. It would be impossible to study each organism separately.
400
Single-celled organisms that do NOT have a nucleus
What are bacteria
400
This group in the classification system has organisms with very similar characteristics but CANNOT mate with one another
What is the Genus
400
Some organisms often get mistaken as a plant when really they are from another kingdom. These are two examples of these other organisms.
What are algae (from the protist kingdom) and mushrooms (from the fungi kingdom)
400
This physical characteristic makes it easy to recognize members of the echinoderm phylum.
What is they have five parts. (Example - star fish)
400
This is an important characteristic that scientists use to group organisms in the same "species"
What is their ability to mate with one another and produce fertile offspring.
500
These are plants with tubes for carrying water and nutrients.
What are vascular plants.
500
These are the seven levels of classification that scientists use to organize organisms.
What are: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species
500
This is the main characteristic that distinguishes plants from all other organisms.
What is plants can make their own food.
500
A is a rare hybrid born from mating of a female bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) with a male False Killer Whale (Pseudorca crassidens). Male and Female wolphins generally cannot produce their own offspring. This is the reason why.
What is they are not members of the same species. Only members of the same species can mate and produce fertile offspring.
500
This is the difference between the cells of bacteria and the cells of protists.
