Plantae
300
When you analyze your data after an experiment you look for any __________ or patterns in the data.
Trends
300
The responding variable, or the variable that is measure in an experiment.
Dependent Variable

List all of the levels of classification in order
Kingdom Phylym Class Order Family Genus Species
300
The organisms in this Kingdom secrete (let out) digestive enzymes that dissolve their food, and then they absorb the nutrients.
Fungi
