| 25) Define adaptation. | The feature that allows an organism to survive better in its environment |
| 26) What observations did Charles Darwin make about finches (a bird) in the Galapagos Islands? | Different species of finches lived on different islands |
| 27) Charles Darwin found fossils that looked like ancient versions of living species. This evidence suggested that the earth was how old? | More than 6000 years old |
| 28) Natural selection results in change over time by acting on traits that are what? | Inheritable |
| 29) Which theory ties the fields of biology and geology together? | Evolution |
| 30) In his study of the Galapagos Islands, Charles Darwin saw different species of finch on different islands. This led him to theorize that species do what? | Can adapt to their environment |
| 31) The difference in the physical traits of an individual from those of other individuals in a group is called what? | A variation |
| 32) In the 1860’s, what single-celled organism was placed in their own kingdom? | Protista |

| 38) What type of environment can an archabacteria live in? | extreme/harsh environments |
| 40) What is a zygospore? | The fusing of 2 gametes in fungal hyphae |
| 41) Why are euglenoids both plantlike and animal-like? | Because they are photosynthetic |
| 42) What is formed from pseudopods engulfing food particles? | Food vacuoles |
