What is homeostasis?
The best way to classify living things is by grouping them based on their differences and where they live.

A step-by-step tool used to identify and classify unknown organisms based on their observable traits
What is a dichotomous key?
Classification has changed over thousands of years due to technology and more knowledge about living things.
What is true?
A question that would likely be on a dichotomous key: (Which is correct?)
1: How fast can the organism run?
2: Is it warm blooded or cold blooded?
3: How small is the organism?
