Question 22

whats protoctista

Answer 22

very diverse group of microscopic organisms
some hetrotrophs and some autotrophs
some animal like and some fungi

Question 23

whats fungi

Answer 23

all hetrotrophs
most saprophytic and some parasitic
have chitin not cellulose in cell walls

almost all autotrophs - examples
gymnosperms
angiosperms
liver worts
photosynthesis by chloroplasts

Answer 25

all heterotrophs
move their body around at one stage of life
invertabres and vertabres

Question 26

whats every organism given in the binomial system

Answer 26

two latin names

Question 27

two names given in binomial system

Answer 27

first name genus and second species

Question 28

rules of writing binomial name

Answer 28

use italics
genus name has upper case and species has lower case
