The organism that digests its food externally before absorbing it and cannot move is most likely a fungus.
-
The lowest level of taxonomic classification is species.
-
The specific type of model that shows how animals diverge during evolution is a cladogram.
-
Based on the grasshopper’s characteristics, another animal that likely belongs to the group of arthropods is a mosquito.
-
Cats and dogs, although both mammals, can be classified as distinct animals due to differences in their morphology, behavior, and reproductive strategies. For instance, cats are typically solitary hunters with retractable claws, while dogs are more social, pack-oriented animals with different hunting and communication behaviors.
-
Having an exoskeleton provides advantages such as protection from physical damage and desiccation, allowing organisms like snails and beetles to thrive in various environments. However, the disadvantages include limited growth potential, as an exoskeleton needs to be molted for the organism to grow, and reduced mobility compared to organisms with a backbone.
-
Reptiles, which include snakes, lizards, and turtles, share common characteristics such as scaly skin, being cold-blooded, and laying eggs with leathery shells. They differ from mammals in that mammals typically have fur or hair, are warm-blooded, and possess mammary glands to feed their young.
