- Which group of plants are characterized by the production of flowers and enclosed seeds within fruits?
- Which group of fungi includes species commonly found in aquatic environments, characterized by their simple reproductive structures and lack of true alternation of generations?

- Which of the following factors poses a significant threat to biodiversity by exerting pressure on ecosystems through increased resource consumption, habitat destruction, and competition for space and resources?
- Which phylum of animals typically exhibits a radial or biradial symmetry and includes organisms like jellyfish, corals, and sea anemones?
- Among the following mammalian orders, which one exhibits a dental formula characterized by having two incisors, one canine, two premolars, and three molars in each quadrant of the mouth, distinguishing them from the other choices?
- Which domain of life consists of organisms that often thrive in extreme environments, such as hot springs, salt flats, and deep-sea hydrothermal vents?
- Which of the following is an example of a hyperthermophilic archaeon often found in hot anaerobic and acidic environments with optimal growth temp. of 85C, such as volcanic springs?
- Which component of biodiversity focuses specifically on the variety and abundance of different species within a given area, playing a crucial role in maintaining ecosystem stability and resilience?
- Which of the following is one of the main phyla of Archaea, known for its diverse range of habitats including extreme environments like hot springs, salt flats, and anaerobic environments?
