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
to flow into an animal to reach some kind of equilibrium. Information can be found in the section
Marine Life Success Depends upon Physical and Biological Environmental Factors
