Lab Questions Lab 1 What was the order of divergence from most recent (1) to oldest (5)? Insects 4 Gymnosperms 2 Fungi 5 Angiosperms 1 Ferns 3 Rank the following taxonomic groups, from greatest global species diversity (1) to least global species diversity (5). Insects 1 Fungi 2 Ferns 3 Birds 4 Mammals 5 All bacteria are human pathogens and therefore are disease causing organisms. True or False Fungi obtain nutrients in the following ways (check all that apply): Symbiotic relationships with plants Decomposition Parasitism Photosynthesis Fungi don't require nutrients The following statement is not true regarding gymnosperms.

True or False Torpor, exhibited by white-footed mice, is (check all that apply): another word for hibernation. characterized by lower metabolic rate a state entered by certain animals when they are under high environmental stress and cannot maintain their body temperature. a short term state of decreased physiological activity characterized by lower body temperature This is one of the songs made by the following bird: a winter wren a nuthatch a cardinal a black-capped chickadee an American robin
