---

11. Which is the most general level?



- Answer: I. Domain
- Explanation: In biological classification, the hierarchy goes from broadest to most specific: Domain → Kingdom → Phylum → Class → Order → Family → Genus → Species. So, Domain is the most general.

---

12. If I am an organism that makes Chloroplast. Which Kingdom do I belong?



- Answer: H. Plantae
- Explanation: Chloroplasts are organelles used in photosynthesis. Organisms with chloroplasts (like plants) belong to the kingdom Plantae.

---

15. What do you call an organism that obtains its food from other organisms?



- Answer: A. Heterotrophic
- Explanation: Heterotrophic refers to organisms that consume other organisms for energy. This is the same as "heterotroph" (B), but here we're looking for the adjective form, so A. Heterotrophic is correct.

> Note: Both A and B are related, but A. Heterotrophic is the adjective describing the organism, while B. heterotroph is the noun. Since the question asks “what do you call an organism...”, the term heterotroph might seem correct, but in this case, A. Heterotrophic is listed as the choice, and it fits grammatically as a descriptor. However, technically, B. heterotroph is the noun form.

But wait — let’s double-check:

- Question 15: *"What do you call an organism..."* → this asks for the name of the organism.
- So the correct answer should be B. heterotroph (the noun).
- But A. Heterotrophic is an adjective.

So there's a potential issue here.

Let’s reevaluate:

- A. Heterotrophic – adjective
- B. heterotroph – noun

The question says: *"What do you call an organism..."* → we need a noun.

So B. heterotroph is the correct answer.

But in the list, B. heterotroph is listed, and A. Heterotrophic is also listed.

Therefore:
- Question 15 → B. heterotroph

Wait! But earlier I said A. Heterotrophic — that was a mistake.

Let’s correct:

Corrected Answer for #15:



15. What do you call an organism that obtains its food from other organisms?

- Answer: B. heterotroph
- Explanation: The term for such an organism is a heterotroph (noun). "Heterotrophic" is the adjective form.
