What do all living things need to survive? water
What is taxonomy? the scientific study of how living things are classified
Why do scientists organize living things into groups? so that the organisms will be easier to study
What is binomial nomenclature? a naming system in which each organism is given a two-part name
An organism's scientific name consists of... its genus name and its species name
The more classification levels that two organisms share, the more characteristics they have in common
The gradual change in species over time is called.... evolution
One characteristic used to place organisms into kingdoms is... their ability to make food
Which kingdom includes only multicellular heterotrophs? animals
The process of change that occurs during an organism's life to produce a more complex organism is called... development
What is the most abundant chemical found in living cells? water
Which classification levels are broader than the phylum level? domain and kingdom
What is the broadest classification level? domain
A plant grows toward the light. The plant's action is an example of... a response

The source of energy for most autotrophs is... the sun
Which domains include only prokaryotes? bacteria and archaea
What characteristics do all plants share? being an autotroph, multicellular, and a eukaryote
Which kingdoms include both unicellular and multicellular organisms? protists and fungi
An organism that can make its own food is called a(n)... autotroph
What makes a leaf appear green? chlorophyll
What does the prefix homeo- mean? same
Photosynthesis takes place in a plant cell's... chloroplast
The energy that powers photosynthesis comes from... the sun
The study of where organisms live is called biogeography
The ocean prevents the kangaroo from dispersing throughout the world. The ocean is an example of which limit to dispersal? a physical barrier
The typical weather pattern in an area over a long period of time is called... climate
A group of ecosystems with similar climates and organisms is called a(n)... biome

The very slow movement of the continents is called... continental drift
What are the products of photosynthesis? oxygen and sugar (glucose)
What happens during photosynthesis? the cell uses the energy in sunlight to make food
What product of PHOTOSYNTHESIS do all living things need to survive? oxygen
How does photosynthesis benefit heterotrophs? it creates the food that they can eat
What happens during respiration? glucose is broken down, releasing energy
The stage of respiration that releases most of the energy in glucose occurs in the... mitochondria
