Two students took a photograph of an organism at the park. The students recorded observations about the organism. The photograph, the student observations, and a Reptiles and Amphibians Taxonomic Key are shown below.
Photograph of the Organism
A photograph of a greenish-brown organism that has scales, legs, a tail, and a shell but does not have gills. The organism is in its adult stage.
Student Observations of the Organism
The organism is brownish green
Has four legs, a short tail, scales, and a shell
Does not have gills
Lives on land and walks slowly
Reptiles and Amphibians Taxonomic Key
Step Characteristic Classification
1 Has gills Go to 6.
Does not have gills Go to 2.
2 Has scales Go to 3.
Does not have scales Go to 4.
3 Has a shell Gopherus polyphemus

- **By eliminating waste through the cell membrane**
### Question 14 (Essay)
**Canis lupus (wolf) and Canis latrans (coyote) are similar as they both belong to the same genus, Canis, which indicates they share a recent common ancestor and are classified under the same family (Canidae). However, they are dissimilar as they are different species with different behavior patterns, habitat preferences, and physical characteristics. While both are canines, Canis lupus is generally larger and often lives in packs, whereas Canis latrans is more solitary and adaptable to a wider range of environments.**
### Question 15 (Essay)
**Part 1:** The scientific name of the organism shown in the photograph is **Gopherus polyphemus** (the gopher tortoise).
**Part 2:** To identify the organism using the taxonomic key:
1. Start at Step 1: The organism does not have gills (the organism lives on land), so I go to Step 2.
2. At Step 2, since the organism has scales, I proceed to Step 3.
3. In Step 3, the organism has a shell, which leads me to the identification of **Gopherus polyphemus** as the scientific name for the organism.
