This class consists of LIVING OBJECTS, which we call.... One of the most striking characteristics of organisms -- and one that clearly separates them from inert objects -- is that they...; that is they produce new organisms. Organisms must have..., a set of instructions that specifies the properties of their descendants. Since the simplest forms of life arose, innumerable different kinds of organisms, increasingly complex, adapted to widely varying environments through a process called.... The... system that we will be following recognizes 5 broad categories, or KINGDOMS which are: 1. MONERA 2. PROTISTA 3. FUNGI 4. PLANTAE 5. ANIMALIA 8.

Monera differ from other kingdoms in that their cells lack a membrane-enclosed nucleus, as well as other intracellular membranous structures present in the cells of other types of organisms. Therefore, they are... organisms. 10. Starting from this kingdom (Protista), all the rest of the members of the remaining kingdoms are...; meaning that they have organized cells with well defined intracellular membranous structures or COMPARTMENTS called ORGANELLS. 11. Starting from this kingdom (Protista), all the rest of the members of the remaining kingdoms are EUKARYOTIC; meaning that they have organized cells with well defined intracellular membranous structures or... called.... 12. Members of this subgroup (The Animal-like Protists) lack chlorophyll and therefore non-photosynthetic. Some of them are fungus-like, but others, known as..., have traditionally been viewed as unicellular animals. 13. Brown and Red Algae are primarily [marine] (live only in sea water) and are commonly known as.... 14. Vascular plants are divided into 3 subgroups: The..., the conifers and their allies (GYMNOSPERMS), and the flowering plants (ANGIOSPERMS). 15. Vascular plants are divided into 3 subgroups: The FERNS, the conifers and their allies..., and the flowering plants.... 16. The gymnosperms and the flowering plants are collectively called as the.... 17. The angiosperms; or the..., are the most advanced of the three groups. 18. This huge and very diverse group of Angiosperms is customarily divided into two subgroups:..., which include beans, peas, roses, maple trees, oak trees, potatoes and a great variety of other plants; and the..., which include the grasses and grass-like plants such as corn, lilies, wheat, barley, rice and the palm trees. 19. Spiders, scorpions, crabs, lobsters, crayfish and... all belong to this major group. (The arthropods) 20. This very important group (Chordates) contains a major subgroup called the..., which comprises all animals possessing an [internal body skeleton], particularly a [backbone]. **[ANSWER KEY]**: 1.
