2. 1. What is one advantage of using scientific names? • The scientific name is easier to learn • The scientific name often describes the organism • The scientific name can be translated to English easily • The scientific name is the first name used for an organism

3. What is the process by which organisms are organized? • Phyla • Sorting • Classification • Distributing

4. What is the most specific level of classification used • by scientists? • Class • Species • Family • Genus

5. Which of the following are examples of classes? • Mollusks and arthropods • Plants and animals • Birds and insects • Vertebrates and mollusks

6. 5. What characteristics are used in classifying things into kingdoms? • Number of cells, producers or consumers, type of cells • Number of cells, types of skin, feet or fins • Producers, consumers, vertebrate or invertebrate, type of cells • Color of eyes, type of cells, lungs or gills

7. 6. Which of the following is an organism that cannot make its own food? • Producer • Invertebrate • User • Consumer

8. 7. Which of the following is not used in classifying organisms into a particular phylum? • Habitat • Body structure • Food • Consumers or producers

9. What is an example of an invertebrate? • Salmon • Whale • Giant squid • Dolphin

10. Which phylum is characterized as having a body with many pores or openings? • Worms • Sponges • Echinoderms • Arthropods

11. Which gives the correct order for the levels of classification? • Phylum, kingdom, species, genus, family, order, class • Species, family, kingdom, phylum, order, class, genus • Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species • None of these

12. 11. Which is an advantage of classifying a collection of things? • It makes the collection easier to study • It makes it harder for people to steal the collections • It makes it easier to store the items • It preserves the collection

13. In what language are scientific names written? • English • Latin • Spanish • French

14. 13. Which of the following animals would be a mollusk? • A spider • A clam • A worm • A starfish

15. 14. Which subgroup would make up a family? • Species • Phylum • Genus • None of these

16. 15. Which kingdom is made up of organisms that are usually single-celled and often have a cell wall? • Animal • Monera • Vertebrate • Protist

17. 16. Which organism has stinging tentacles? • Starfish • Sea anemone • Shrimp • Sponge

18. 17. Which of the following is not a characteristic of the arthropod phylum? • Tube feet • Antennae • Jointed legs • Exoskeleton

19. Part 2 Matching Match each pictured organism with the phylum to which it belongs. Write the letter of the organism on the line provided. 18. ______ arthropod phylum 19. ______ cnidaria phylum 20. ______ echinoderm phylum 21. ______ mollusk phylum 22. ______ sponge phylum

20. 23. What features are used when classifying animals? Body structure is most important, but other features include food, habitat, and behavior.

21. 24. Identify the five kingdoms used in scientific classification, and give an example of each kingdom. Monera-bacteria; protista-paramecium; fungus-mold; plant-rose; animal-horse

22. Explain the difference between a producer and a consumer. • Produces are organisms that can produce their own food. Producers include all green plants and some protists. Producers use the process of photosynthesis to produce food. Consumers are organisms that cannot photosynthesize to produce their own food. They must therefore get their food from eating producers or other consumers. Consumers include all animals some protists, and many fungi.
