The basic unit of classification in biology is the species, which is defined as a group of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring.

The primary characteristic that distinguishes living organisms from non-living things is their ability to reproduce, which is essential for the continuation of species.

Bacteria primarily reproduce asexually through binary fission, where a single cell divides into two identical cells.

The scientific name of the domestic cat is Felis catus, following the binomial nomenclature system.

Biology is the scientific study of living organisms.

Homeostasis is the process by which living organisms maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in external conditions.

Biodiversity refers to the variety of life in the world or in a particular habitat or ecosystem, encompassing species diversity, genetic diversity, and ecosystem diversity.

Biology is the scientific study of living organisms.

Biology is the scientific study of living organisms, encompassing various sub-disciplines such as zoology and botany.

Biodiversity refers to the variety of life in the world or in a particular habitat or ecosystem.

Kingdom is the most inclusive classification among the options provided, encompassing a large group of related organisms.

Both Bacteria and Archaea are domains that include primarily unicellular and prokaryotic organisms.

Both Bacteria and Archaea are domains that include prokaryotic organisms, which lack a nucleus.

All of the options listed are characteristic features of living organisms.

Viruses have a protein coat (capsid) and lack cellular structure and metabolism, requiring a host to reproduce.

The ability to respond to stimuli is a characteristic of all living organisms, allowing them to interact with their environment.

Living organisms exhibit complex organization, which is a key feature of life, distinguishing them from non-living entities.

Water is a non-living component of an ecosystem, while plants, animals, and bacteria are living components.

The kingdom Plantae includes organisms that are primarily autotrophic, meaning they produce their own food through photosynthesis.

The organism level of organization is the highest, as it encompasses all systems and structures functioning together as a single living entity.

Carl Linnaeus is known as the father of taxonomy for developing the system of naming organisms using binomial nomenclature.
