Drag both the gecko and tree to the black box. Then drag the blue ball underneath where the branches split off and click "Next." Now use the magnifying glass to explore the three species. Select the box, if the species has the trait in the below table.(1 point)

Question

Cells with Nuclei Photosynthetic autotroph Heterotrophic
Gecko

Palm Tree

Flu agaric mushroom

Answer 1

To categorize the three species based on the provided traits, here’s the evaluation:

1. Gecko:

   • Cells with Nuclei: Yes (Geckos are eukaryotic organisms, so their cells have nuclei.)
   • Photosynthetic autotroph: No (Geckos do not perform photosynthesis; they are heterotrophic.)
   • Heterotrophic: Yes (Geckos eat insects and other small animals.)

2. Palm Tree:

   • Cells with Nuclei: Yes (Palm trees are also eukaryotic.)
   • Photosynthetic autotroph: Yes (Palm trees perform photosynthesis.)
   • Heterotrophic: No (Palm trees produce their own food through photosynthesis.)

3. Flu agaric mushroom:

   • Cells with Nuclei: Yes (Mushrooms are eukaryotic.)
   • Photosynthetic autotroph: No (Mushrooms do not perform photosynthesis; they are heterotrophic fungi.)
   • Heterotrophic: Yes (Flu agaric mushrooms obtain nutrients by decomposing organic matter.)

Here is the filled-in table:

| Species | Cells with Nuclei | Photosynthetic autotroph | Heterotrophic | |-----------------------------|--------------------|--------------------------|---------------| | Gecko | Yes | No | Yes | | Palm Tree | Yes | Yes | No | | Flu agaric mushroom | Yes | No | Yes |

Make sure to check the conditions as you fill in your box accurately.
