which trait do ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms share? - CORRECT
ANSWER-vasculature
which describes plant groups in order of terrestrial adaptations from earliest to
the most recent? - CORRECT ANSWER-byrophytes, ferns, gymnosperms, and
angiosperms
the most successful animal group is the - CORRECT ANSWER-arthropod group
most animals - CORRECT ANSWER-are invertebrates
a clam is an example of a(n) - CORRECT ANSWER-mollusk
the chordate group includes these animals - CORRECT ANSWER-vertebrates
which is NOT true of yeast? - CORRECT ANSWER-they are multicellular
Fungi are members of the domain - CORRECT ANSWER-Eukarya
Fungi play a crucial ecological role in all terrestrial ecosystems, including those
in Olympic National Park. What is that role? - CORRECT ANSWER-They are
decomposers, breaking down dead organisms and helping to recycle their
nutrients
Major threats to biodiversity - CORRECT ANSWER-Habitat loss, usually because
of conversion of natural habitat to human use
Fragmentation of remaining habitat by human-dominated landscapes such as
highways, urban areas
An expanding human population that consumes increasing amounts of resources
An organism that is eukaryotic, multicellular, and has cell walls is - CORRECT
ANSWER-a plant or a fungus
an organism that is eukaryotic, multicellular, and heterotrophic is - CORRECT
ANSWER-an animal or fungus
an organism that is eukaryotic and photosynthetic is - CORRECT ANSWER-a
plant or a protist

ANSWER-an animal or a protist
the total number of wolves inhabiting Isle Royale is defined as a - CORRECT
ANSWER-population

Royale describes a(n) - CORRECT ANSWER-ecosystem
a report that documents all the species (plant and animals) in an area but does
not include the environment describes - CORRECT ANSWER-community
a researcher who investigates how flooding affects the different populations on
an island is most interested in which level of organization? - CORRECT ANSWER-
ecosystem
put the following in order from simplest to most complex - CORRECT ANSWER-
individual > population > community > ecosystem
The ocean, sand, rocks, plants, seagulls, and invertebrates represent a(n) -
CORRECT ANSWER-ecosystem
All of the polar bears, seals, fish species, whales, seabirds and the Aleut people

place the following in order of evolutionary history from the earliest to most
recent. - CORRECT ANSWER-Archaea, bacteria, and eukarya

nucleus
the tree of life has been rearranged into three domains based on what evidence? -
CORRECT ANSWER-DNA similarities
protists share this feature with other eukaryotes - CORRECT ANSWER-they are
photosynthetic
Why do ecologists count representative samples of a population and not the total
