Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
Aristotle began to classify organisms long before Linnaeus. His classification system was based on
how organisms looked. Linnaeus had a more accurate system for classification that looked at the traits
of the organisms and created a hierarchy. Information can be found in the section Oceanic Life Is

Hypertonic animals have a higher concentration than their surroundings. In this case, water would try

Marine Life Success Depends upon Physical and Biological Environmental Factors
