Being made of one or more cells, displaying organization, growth, development reproduction, responding to stimuli, and homeostasis are all characteristics of this.

This domain includes Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia.
What is Eukarya

Numerical data like measurements of time, temperature, length, and mass are all examples of this type of data.
quantitative data

This is the term for the process in which a species gradually becomes extinct.
What is background extinction

This type of diagram is often used to represent proposed phylogeny or evolutionary history of a species or group and usually has many branches.
What is a cladogram
200
This part of the microscope is used to bring an object into clear, sharp, final focus.
What is the fine adjustment
200
Most insects should be pinned through this section of the body.
What is the thorax
300
In an environment, there are both living and nonliving factors. This is the scientific term for factors including algae, frogs, fish, plants, and microscopic organisms.
What is a biotic factor
300
This term is used to describe when substances such as fertilizers and sewage flow into waterways and cause extensive algae growth that destroys habitats for fish and other species.
What is eutrophication
300
When considering the scientific name of the Asiatic black bear (Ursus thibetanus), the term “Ursus” represents this taxonomic category.
What is genus
300
This organelle is similar to the section of a factory that organizes, boxes, and ships the product.
What is the golgi apparatus

This type of insect must be mounted on a spreading board prior to inclusion in an insect collection.
What is a moth

This is an organisms role in the environment and how it meets its needs for food, shelter, and reproduction.
What is its niche
400
Of the following, this type of diversity increases as you move geographically from the polar regions to the equator: genetic diversity, species diversity, ecosystem diversity.
What is species diversity
400
This kingdom is made of eukaryotic organisms that do not have organs and include algae.
What is Protista

This type of cellular transport does not require an input of energy.
What is facilitated diffusion
400
In order for an insect to be of scientific value, it must have this.
What is a proper information label

If the following represents a food chain in which the arrow points to the organism being eaten, this organism would be considered a secondary consumer: coyote ⇒ snake ⇒ mouse ⇒ seeds
What is the snake
500
If a toxic substance enters the following food web in which the arrow indicates the organism being consumed, this animal will have the highest concentration of the toxic substance in their tissues: killer whale ⇒ sea lions ⇒ fish ⇒ kelp
What is the killer whale

Llamas and Alpacas are classified as different species, yet they can interbreed and produce fertile offspring. This is a limitation of this species concept.
What is the biological species concept
