The gray squirrel, Eastern fox squirrel, and red squirrel are all different species of squirrels. Why is having a scientific name for each species of an organism important?

A team of students encounters an unknown organism in a field while conducting a biodiversity study. Some students think the organism is a plant, while others think it is a fungus. Which question should the students investigate to classify the organism correctly?

Which list correctly identifies characteristics that protists share with animals?

Four common relationships between organisms are listed in the box.















Which statements best describe these relationships?

The acacia ant (Pseudomyrmex ferruginea) lives in the bulls horn acacia plant, as shown below


The acacia ant nests and feeds in the plant’s hollow thorns. The ant helps protect the bullshorn acacia by attacking insects and grazing animals that come near the plant. The relationship between the acacia ant and the bullshorn acacia is an example of which of the following?

A remora is a fish that has an adhesive disk on the back of its head that it uses to attach itself to a large shark. When food floats away from the shark’s mouth as it feeds, the remora collects the scraps. Drawings of a shark with a remora attached and a remora’s adhesive disk are shown below



The relationship between the remora and the shark is an example of —

Using a light microscope, a student identified the following characteristics of four organisms found in a sample of pond water.


Based on the observations of the student, which organisms most likely belong to the taxonomic group for bacteria?

Bats eat insects that damage crops and mosquitoes that are vectors for disease. One million bats can eat several tons of insects per night, saving billions of dollars in pesticides yearly. Agricultural and public health scientists are concerned about the spread of white-nose syndrome (WNS). WNS is a result of a fungus that can infect cave-dwelling bats. While bats hibernate during winter months, the fungus covers the bats’ face and wings. WNS has a near 100% mortality rate, and 5.7 million bats have died since the discovery of the fungus in 2006. Many scientists are searching for ways to protect these bats. The relationship between this fungus and bats can best be defined as —

A group of students used this diagram to classify three organisms into different kingdoms.


Which table correctly identifies the three kingdoms?

The ocean sunfish (Molamola) is a large, flat fish that spends most of its time in deep water feeding mainly on jellyfish. Sunfish often have many species of copepods, small crustaceans that bury their heads into the soft tissue of the sunfish. Sunfish will swim to the surface of the water and lie sideways, allowing seabirds to eat the copepods from their skin.


Which list describes the types of relationships the sunfish has with other marine organisms?

Having a standard taxonomic system benefits the scientific community by allowing scientists from all over the world to do which of the following?

The characteristics of a particular organism are listed below.


In which kingdom should this organism be classified?

Which list of characteristics describes organisms classified as animals?

In any environment or ecosystem, organisms can have several different types of relationships. Three types of relationships are described below.

Ecological Relationships:

Which of these correctly describes the relationships between the organisms?

Which of these best demonstrates mutualism between certain types of bacteria and humans?

Parrotfish are herbivores that are found in coral reefs. To escape predation, a parrotfish will graze with a rabbitfish, which has venomous spines at the end of its pelvic fins. The rabbitfish does not benefit from this relationship. Which type of relationship do the parrotfish and the rabbitfish have in the coral-reef environment?

Which kingdom is prokaryotic?

Aphids are tiny insects that live on and eat the leaves of plants, removing vital nutrients from the plants.


What type of symbiotic relationship exists between the aphids and the plant?

Which is missing from the 6 kingdoms listed below?

Animal, Plant, Fungi, Bacteria, Archaeabacteria

Which is NOT an example of a symbiotic relationship?

Zoonotic EK Diseases

Welcome to your Zoonotic EK Diseases

A Zoonotic disease is a disease which may be passed from _______ to _______.

All of these are agents of zoonotic diseases except:

Which of these is NOT a way for a zoonotic parasite to be transmitted from animals to humans?

Zoonotic EK symbiotic

What Symbiotic Relationship is this?

Remoras get a free ride by attaching to larger animals such as sharks. They eat scraps of food left by the shark who is unaffected by their presence.

 

The protozoan which causes malaria lives in humans and female Anopheles mosquitoes. In humans, it grows and multiplies in red blood cells destroying them and releasing offspring that invade other red blood cells. During this cycle, the human experiences high fevers, chills, and flu-like illness.

 

Capybaras are large South American rodents. Certain birds will ride on top of capybaras to eat insects dispersed while the capybara walks and feeds. In exchange, the bird grooms the capybara, eating parasites and ticks from its fur.

Zoonotic EK Eukarya

How would you classify these?

Domain of a green organism growing from the ground that is multicellular and that undergoes photosynthesis; its cells have nuclei and cell walls.

Kingdom of a green organism growing from the ground that is multicellular and that undergoes photosynthesis; its cells have nuclei and cell walls.

Domain of an organism that is a multicellular decomposer; its cells have nuclei.

Kingdom of an organism that is a multicellular decomposer; its cells have nuclei.

There are _____ domains and _____ kingdoms in the current classification scheme.

However, classification systems may change as new organisms are discovered and we gain more information about known living organisms.
