1. One of the most general distinctions
among organisms is between plants, which use sunlight to make their
own food, and animals, which consume energy-rich foods. Some kinds of
organisms, many of them microscopic, cannot be neatly classified as
either plants or animals. (AKSci - A.12)
Examples of What Students Should Be Able
to Do:
Group organisms into appropriate
categories according to their similarities and differences using a
simple classification system.
