What are the six kingdoms into which scientists group living organisms?

1. What are the benefits of using a uniform system of grouping and naming living organisms?

a. allows us to organize information about living organisms

b. allows us to see how living organisms compare with one another

c. allows us to see how living organisms are related to each other in evolutionary terms

d. both b and c

e. all of the above

2. What are the seven groups in the binomial classification system, listed from the largest and most inclusive to the smallest and most restrictive?

a. genus, species, kingdom, phylum, family, order, class

b. kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species

c. species, class, order, phylum, family, genus, kingdom

d. kingdom, class, phylum, genus, family, order, species

3. What are the six kingdoms into which scientists group living organisms?

a. autotrophs, heterotrophs, consumers, producers, decomposers, reproducers

b. herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, consumers, producers, decomposers

c. mammals, reptiles, fish, insects, birds, amphibians

d. eubacteria, archaebacteria, protista, animalia, fungi, plantae

4. What do the terms evolution and evolve mean in the field of biology?

a.The word evolution means change, and things that change are said to evolve. Biologically, this occurs at the level of the population, not the organism.

b. The word evolution means change, and things that change are said to evolve. Biologically, this occurs when a single organism’s features are modified by the environment in which it lives.

d. The word evolution means change, and things that change are said to evolve. Biologically, this occurs when a small group of organisms acquire a trait through repeated reactions to a new stimulus.

d. none of the above
