In one or two sentences, explain how cats and dogs, both mammals, could be classified as distinct animals. What characteristics set them apart from one another?(2 points)
Cats and dogs are classified as distinct animals due to their physical characteristics, primarily the shape of their skulls. The skull of a cat is shorter and more tapered, while the skull of a dog is longer and wider. Other differences include differences in vocalizations, behavior, and dietary requirements.
Snails and beetles have exoskeletons. Hypothesize the advantages and disadvantages of having an exoskeleton rather than a backbone. Explain your answer in one or two sentences.(2 points)
Advantages of having an exoskeleton are that it provides a strong, protective shield against physical damage, and it supports muscles for movement. Disadvantages of having an exoskeleton are that it can limit growth, make movement cumbersome, and may require periodic molting.
