Question 13

The following animals need to be grouped based on common characteristics.

Parrot - Tree Frog - Striped Bass - Tiger - Tortoise - Praying Mantis - Flowerpot Snake - Giant Panda - Mexican Burrowing Toad - Nurse shark - Snowy owl - Golden Silk Spider

Which approach for grouping all of the animals is the BEST to implement?

Accepted Answer

The animals can be grouped based on whether or not they have a backbone. All of the organisms will either have a backbone or they will not.

Answer

The animals can be grouped based on whether they live in the water or on land. The animals in the two groups will have different methods of breathing.

Answer

The animals can be grouped based on whether or not they are insects. Insects will have multiple pairs of legs while non-insects will have one pair of legs.

Answer

The animals can be grouped based on whether or not they have wings. The organisms in the two groups will have different methods of movement.

Question 14

Why do the number of organisms in a group change from the first step to the last step of a dichotomous key?

Accepted Answer

The number of organisms decreases because the number of common characteristics of the organisms in a group increases.

Answer

The number of organisms stays the same because the number of common characteristics of the organisms in a group decreases by half in the last step.

Answer

The number of organisms is always cut in half because the number of common characteristics of the organisms in a group decreases by half in the last step.

Answer

The number of organisms increases because the number of common characteristics of the organisms in a group increases.

Question 15

A student made this model to show the relationships between a shark, a dolphin, a deer, and a lizard based on their characteristics.

After making the model, the student learned that despite their very different appearances, dolphins and deer are both mammals, and are the most closely related of the animals named in the model.

Which revision shows how the student could change the second level of their model to BEST represent the correct scientific relationship between the four animals and allow the deer and dolphin to be grouped together?

Accepted Answer

Revise the groups in the second level to "warm blooded" and "cold blooded."

Answer

Revise the groups in the second level to "eats meat" and "eats plants."

Answer

Revise the groups in the second level to "breathes with lungs" and "breathes with gills."

Answer

Revise the groups in the second level to "lives on land" and "lives in water."

Question 16

Which statement is TRUE based on the model?

Accepted Answer

Animals with fur are classified as mammals.

Answer

Animals without legs are classified as fish.

Answer

Fish and amphibians both have wet, scaly skin.

Answer

The only type of animals that lay eggs to reproduce are cold-blooded.

Question 17

Since ancient times, organisms have been classified as either plants or animals. Over time, new kingdoms have been created as people have discovered new organisms and new characteristics. In the 18th century, both blue-green algae and green algae would have been classified together in the Plant Kingdom (Regnum vegetabile). Today they both share different classifications in the Six Kingdom System.

Which model represents the change in classification that would lead to blue-green algae and green algae being separated and classified into their own kingdoms?

Fungi are heterotrophic and plants are autotrophic.

Answer

Fungi are prokaryotic and plants are eukaryotic.

Answer

Fungi are autotrophic and plants are heterotrophic

Answer

Fungi are multicellular and plants are unicellular

Question 20

The undigested food and some other species found in uncooked meat are decomposed by some Escherichia coli (E.Coli) bacteria normally found in the intestines of humans and animals. Most E.coli are harmless and actually make up an important part of a healthy human intestinal tract. Escherichia coli helps the host to produce Vitamin K; however, some E.coli can cause illness outside the intestinal tract.

Which of the following statements MOST LIKELY describes Escherichia coli, the bacteria found in the intestines?

Accepted Answer

Escherichia coli is prokaryotic since it is a unicellular organism which has plasma membranes, cytoplasm, ribosomes, a cell wall, DNA, and lacks membrane-bound organelles.

Answer

Escherichia coli is eukaryotic since it is found in the human intestines makes up an important part of a healthy intestinal tract and helps the host to produce Vitamin K.

Answer

Escherichia coli is prokaryotic since it is a unicellular organism which has plasma membranes, cytoplasm, ribosomes, a cell wall, DNA, and lacks membrane-bound organelles and it is autotrophic.

Answer

Escherichia coli is eukaryotic since it contains the double membranous organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondrion, and endoplasmic reticulum.
