All lining organisms have 7 things in common:
1. Nutrition:
Taking in nutrients which are organic substances and mineral ions, containing raw materials and energy for growth and tissue repair, absorbing and assimilating them.
2. Excretion:
Removal from organisms of toxic materials, the waste products of metabolism and substances in excess.
3. Respiration:
Chemical reactions that break down nutrient molecules in living cells to release energy.
4. Sensitivity:
The ability to detect or sense changes in the environment and to make responses.
5. Reproduction:
Progresses that make more of the same kind of organism.
6. Growth:
The permanent increase in size and dry mass by an increase in number of cells, cell size, or both.
7. Movement:
An action by an organism or part of an organism that changes position or place.
The seven characteristics could be memorized by the term "Mrs. Gren":

Which taxa has the most organisms?
Class. (apex)
How is cytochrome c used biochemical evidence for evolution?
This electron shuttle is highly conserved across many species and jumps across taxa with little change in composition, thus providing evidence for the common ancestry of many organisms.
How are evolution and clssifacation related?
In the system of classification called cladistics there is a progressive relationship based on the evolutionary relatedness between taxa of organisms.
What is phylogenetic line?
An ancestor-descendent line; the sequence of ancestral taxa leading from some point in the ancestry through time to a specific taxon. For example, our complete phylogenetic line would include all taxa that are in the ancestry of both apes and humans as well as all taxa ancestral to modern humans from the time the human line split from the ape line.
Can organisms thrive in scalding water?
It depends what temperature region is being considered. To take the human example, not only superficially would we be burnt, but the raised temperature over a sustained period of time will result in irreversible enzyme damage. This, in most organisms (i.e. a pathogen) is why they are unable to survive at the enzyme damage sustained results in complete malfunction. Potentially, there are organisms with can survive in very hot water as they have evolved that way. Species living on or near deep ocean vents are exposed to extreme conditions by survive due to millions of years of evolution, but to answer the question, most organisms in most taxa cannot survive.
The greater the number of taxa two organisms have in common the more closely related they are?
true
What criteria are used to place organisms into the different taxa?
Organisms are placed into different taxa based on their shared characteristics, such as physical appearance, genetic makeup, and evolutionary history. Taxonomists consider traits like body structure, behavior, and biochemical processes to determine the relationships between different species and assign them to the appropriate taxonomic groups.
The groups in which carl linneaus placed organisms?
The answer is: taxa
What taxa includes organisms that are the most closely related?
The taxon that includes organisms that are most closely related is a species. Organisms within the same species share a high degree of genetic similarity and can interbreed to produce fertile offspring.
Which taxa includes the largest amount of genetic diversity among plantlike organisms?
viridiplantae
What is the Simpson Coefficient?
C/N x 100 (where C is the # of taxa in common between two areas and N is the total # of taxa.
What does a chladogram show about evolution?
By showing the evolutionary relationships and emergency of ancestral and derived traits in taxa of organisms. Nested hierarchies of relatedness in organisms.
Which taxa has the most organisms?
Class. (apex)
What is the Jaccard Coefficient?
C/(A+B-C) (where C is the number of taxa in common between two samples and A and B are the numbers of unique taxa found in each of the two samples).
How is cytochrome c used biochemical evidence for evolution?
This electron shuttle is highly conserved across many species and jumps across taxa with little change in composition, thus providing evidence for the common ancestry of many organisms.
How are evolution and clssifacation related?
In the system of classification called cladistics there is a progressive relationship based on the evolutionary relatedness between taxa of organisms.
The lowest rank of taxa is the?
the lowest rank of taxa is species
