1. Instead of a brown bear, in the taxonomy example in the lesson, let's say we had a giant panda. Which taxa would change? Find out what they would change to and report your findings here.

Hi,

A bear belongs to the phylum Chordata (because it has a spine), the class Mammalia (mammals have many distinguishing characteristics, including hair and producing milk for their young), the order Carnivora (will usually eat meat--some bears are exceptions in this category), the family Ursidae (the bear family of animals). The genus and species are the particular type of bear, in this case, let's say it's a brown bear. So our genus would be Ursus, and our species would be arctos. Yes. I think so it's like that.

Hope it helps you...

when atoms of different types of elements join together, they make molecules called compounds. water consists of compound molecules made up of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. this is why it's called h2o. water will always have 2 times the number of hydrogen atoms as oxygen atoms.
