Answer 1

Answer:

1)AnswerThe term living thing refers to things that are now or once were alive. A non-living thing is anything that was never alive. In order for something to be classified as living, it must grow and develop, use energy, reproduce, be made of cells, respond to its environment, and adapt. 2)AnswerA species is often defined as a group of organisms that can reproduce naturally with one another and create fertile offspring 3)Answer Genus, plural genera, biological classification ranking between family and species, consisting of structurally or phylogenetically related species or a single isolated species exhibiting unusual differentiation (monotypic genus). 4)AnswerFamily is defined as a specific group of people that may be made up of partners, children, parents, aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents. An example of a family is a set of parents living with their children. ... The definition of family is the group of people who share common ancestors. 5) Answer(Entry 1 of 2) 1a : a body of students meeting regularly to study the same subject Several students in the class are absent today. b : the period during which such a body meets. c : a course of instruction is doing well in her algebra class 6)around or about (a specified number) : approximately 7)1a : a direct line of descent within a group. b : a group that constitutes or has the unity of a phylum specifically : a primary category in biological taxonomy especially of animals that ranks above the class and below the kingdom — compare division sense 10. 8)Binomial nomenclature is the formal naming system for living things that all scientists use. It gives every species a two-part scientific name. For example, a ladybug found in the United States goes by the fancy name of Harmonia axyridis. The first part of a scientific name, like Harmonia, is called the genus. 9)In biology, trinomial nomenclature is used to name living things at a rank lower than species. The term trinomial nomenclature means "three-part name" or "system of three-part names". If living things r than species get a scientific name, each name has three parts. 10)Halophiles re those archaebacteria which are found in regions of high salinity, whereas thermoacidophiles are those archaebacteria which are found in hot sulphur springs.
