making antibiotics.
releasing toxins.
releasing viruses.
releasing disinfectants.
8. Antibiotics are often effective treatments for diseases caused by (1 point)
bacteria.
viruses.
some bacteria and some viruses.

9. What is one reason biologists have difficulty classifying protists? (1 point)
Protists are eukaryotes just as plants, fungi, and animals are.
Protists are incredibly diverse, and the different groups probably evolved independently of each other.
Protists belong in the same classification group as bacteria.
Protists were the first eukaryotes, and they appeared nearly 1.5 billion years ago.
10. Ciliates can reproduce asexually using fission, but they can also exchange genetic material with one another. What is this process called? (1 point)
budding
colonisation
conjugation
parasitism

respiration and movement, respectively
movement and feeding, respectively
feeding and excretion, respectively
excretion and respiration, respectively

yeasts
algae
slime moulds
rusts
13. The tangled mass that makes up the body of a fungus is the (1 point)
Hypha.
Rhizoid.
Mycelium.
stolon.
14. The cell walls of fungi differ from those of plants and protists because the cell walls of fungi (1 point)
Are composed of cellulose.
Are composed of peptidoglycan.
Are composed of chitin.
contain chlorophyll.
15. How does symbiosis benefit the organisms that make up a lichen? (1 point)
Each organism absorbs minerals produced by the other.
It reduces the effect of pollution and other toxic chemicals on both organisms.
It allows the organisms to live in environments where neither could live alone.
One organism eats the other to provide chemicals or nutrients missing from its environment.
16. Plant roots can gain important materials through symbiotic relationships with fungi. What are these associations called? (1 point)
euglenoids
lichens
mycelia
mycorrhizae
17. With rare exceptions, which of the following characteristics do plants share? (1 point)
unicellular
flowering
prokaryotic
autotrophic
18. Which statement describes the sizes of nonvascular and vascular plants? (1 point)
Plants of both groups are about the same size.
Nonvascular plants are typically smaller than vascular plants.
Vascular plants are usually smaller than nonvascular plants.
There are no observable patterns in the sizes of the two groups.
19. What effect did the development of vascular tissue have on plant evolution? (1 point)
The development of vascular tissue allowed plants to grow taller.
The development of vascular tissue allowed plants to colonise wetter environments.
The development of vascular tissue reduced the reliance on water for reproduction.
The development of vascular tissue aided with the dispersal of offspring.
20. The chemical lignin hardens plants' cell walls. What does this allow plants to do? (1 point)
stand upright
exist without water
perform photosynthesis
obtain nitrogen from the soil
21. Which group of plants evolved first? (1 point)
angiosperms
gymnosperms
ferns
mosses
