False
Sponges are sessile. This means they live attached to rocks and don't swim.

A. A community
B A population
B. A population
A population is a group of the same species living in the same area. For example, a group of humans in a classroom, or a group of wolves living in a forest.

In taxonomy, there are five kingdoms. Name two things that make animals different from another kingdom.
Possible Answers:
Animals are heterotrophic, which means they can't make their own food -- this is different from the plant kingdom. Animals are eukaryotic, which means their cells have a nucleus -- this is different from the monera kingdom. Animals are usually mobile, which means they can move -- this is different from fungi and plants. Animals usually use sexual reproduction, which means they reproduce by combining genetic material with another organism -- this is different from monera, most protists, and some fungi.

An ecosystem includes all the biotic and abiotic factors in an environment.
1. Define biotic and give Sophia an exampe.
2. Define abiotic and give Sophia an example.
1. Biotic means living factors in an environment, such as humans, trees, or fish.
2. Abiotic means non-living factors in an environment, such as air, rocks, or water.

Using what you know about the levels of organization, explain why endangered popuations of animals should make us worry about the biosphere.
There are lots of ways you could explain! What Sophia wants you to know is:
The levels of organization build upon each other. If a lower level is hurt or damaged, it will affect higher levels.
We should care about other populations and ecosystems, because they help our population and ecosystem stay happy and healthy.
