Here are the correct responses for each question:
**Question 1:**
**Carl Linnaeus**
(Rationale: Carl Linnaeus is known as the father of modern taxonomy and developed the binomial nomenclature system.)
---
**Question 2:**
Order from most general to most specific:
1. Domain
2. Kingdom
3. Phylum
4. Class
5. Order
6. Family
7. Genus
8. Species
(Note: The specific list of responses wasn't provided here, but this is the correct order of biological classification.)
---
**Question 3:**
**Loxodonta africana**
(Rationale: The correct scientific name is italicized and follows the rules of binomial nomenclature with the genus capitalized and the species lowercase.)
---
**Question 4:**
**Cladogram**
(Rationale: A cladogram is a diagram used to show relations among organisms.)
---
**Question 5:**
**Eukarya**
(Rationale: The domain Eukarya includes organisms that are eukaryotic with cells containing a membrane-bound nucleus.)
---
**Question 6:**
**Parasitism**
(Rationale: Rust fungi living on and feeding off plants causing potential harm to the host is an example of parasitism.)
---
**Question 7:**
(Cannot answer without an image; however, if it describes a similar situation to question 6, **Parasitism** is likely the answer.)
---
**Question 8:**
**Mutualism**
(Rationale: The clownfish and anemone have a symbiotic relationship where both benefit.)
---
**Question 9:**
**interbreed and produce fertile offspring**
(Rationale: A species is typically defined as a group of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring.)
---
**Question 10:**
**Phylogenetic tree**
(Rationale: A phylogenetic tree is used to show evolutionary relationships.)
---
**Question 11:**
(Cannot answer without an image; however, look for the closest points in the diagram to determine which species are most closely related.)
---
**Question 12:**
**Cornus florida**
(Rationale: Based on the dichotomous key, a broad single leaf with smooth edges corresponds to Cornus florida.)
---
**Question 13:**
**Both biotic and abiotic factors**
(Rationale: Carrying capacity is influenced by factors such as resources available, competition, and environmental conditions.)
---
**Question 14:**
**Resource availability decreases**
(Rationale: When a population exceeds its carrying capacity, resources become scarce, leading to decreased availability.)
---
**Question 15:**
**Abundance of food**
(Rationale: An abundance of food does not decrease biodiversity and can support a healthy ecosystem.)
---
**Question 16:**
**Competition between the heron and the turtle**
(Rationale: Both species competing for the same food source can lead to competitive interactions.)
---
**Question 17:**
**The deer population will increase**
(Rationale: Without mountain lions to keep their numbers in check, the deer population is likely to increase.)
---
**Question 18:**
**Displacement of native species**
(Rationale: Invasive species can outcompete and displace native species.)
---
**Question 19:**
**Community**
(Rationale: A dead tree supporting various organisms is a community of different species.)
---
**Question 20:**
**False**
(Rationale: Ecosystems can change due to both natural forces and human activities.)
