Some organisms have features that have different functions, but similar structures. One example is the forelimb of humans, dogs, birds, and whales.

What term best describes the relationship between these forelimbs?

Required

Vestigial Structure
Organisms with recent common ancestor have similar structure but have different functions.
Biochemistry
Organisms that are not closely related have structures that are different but they have the same function,
Embryology
Structures that no longer function in organisms but were used by their ancestors
Fossils
Remains of dead organisms that show how organisms have changed over time in an area.
Analogous Structure
Similarities in earlier stages of development in different organisms as they share common ancestors.
Homologus Structure
Organisms that are closely related will have more similarities in their genes.
Taxonomy is the science of classifiying and naming organisms. Organisms are organized into hierarchical levels of classification.

  6. Order
  7. Class

A student collected the animal shown below on a field trip. The student used a dichotomous key and a microscope to classify the animal.

How should this organism be classified as?

Required
1

Match the characteristics of the organisms to the correct kingdom.

Draggable itemCorresponding Item
Classified by the way they move (Cilia flagella and pseudopodia.)
Animalia
  • Cell walls made of peptidoglycan
  • Identified by gram staining.
Plantae
  • Cell walls without peptidoglycan
  • Found in harsh or extreme environment
  • Oldest living things
Fungi
  • No cell wall
  • Cells are specialized for particular functions
Protista
  • Cell walls made of cellulose.
  • Contain Chlorophyll for capturing sunlight.
  • Can produce sexually
Archaebacteria
  • Cell walls made of Chitin (sugar).
  • Important decomposers.
