1. some organisms have different common names in different parts of the world, but all organisms are given only one scientific name. which statement describes how the scientific name of an organism is written?

a it is written in english
b it is written as genus and species
c it is written as kingdom and phylum
d it is written with quotation marks around it

Explanation:

• Question 10: Plants (Plantae) are multicellular, eukaryotic autotrophs. Animals (Animalia) are heterotrophs. Fungi (Fungi) are heterotrophs (mostly decomposers). Protista (Protista) has both unicellular and simple multicellular organisms and various nutritional modes.
• Question 11: Genetic evidence (showing a common genetic history) is the most conclusive for taxonomic re - classification as it reflects evolutionary relationships at the molecular level. Habitat (A), nutritional (B), and behavioral (C) similarities can be due to convergent evolution rather than close evolutionary relatedness.
• Question 12: Animals (Animalia) are multicellular, eukaryotic, have organ systems, and are heterotrophs. But the table says the method of acquiring food is photosynthesis. Plants (Plantae) are multicellular, eukaryotic, have organ systems (in higher plants), and perform photosynthesis. Fungi (Fungi) are heterotrophs. Protista (Protista) has mostly simple organisms.
• Question 13: Fungi (Fungi) are eukaryotic, non - motile (except for some spores in a very limited sense), reproduce by spores, and are mostly decomposers. Archaebacteria (A) and Eubacteria (B) are prokaryotic. Plants (Plantae) are autotrophs (not decomposers in the traditional sense, although some plants can have symbiotic relationships with decomposers).
• Question 14: The scientific name of an organism is written in binomial nomenclature as Genus and species. It is usually in Latin (not English, so A is wrong). Kingdom and Phylum (C) are higher taxonomic ranks. Quotation marks (D) are not used in the standard scientific naming format.

Answer:

1. C. Plantae
2. D. evidence showing birds shared a common genetic history with dinosaurs
3. B. Plantae
4. C. Fungi
5. B. it is written as Genus and species
