In one or two sentences, explain how cats and dogs, both mammals, could be classified as distinct animals. What characteristics set them apart from one another?

Cats and dogs can be classified as distinct animals because they have different physical characteristics, behavioral patterns, and require different types of care. For example, cats have retractable claws, while dogs' claws are always exposed. Additionally, cats are obligate carnivores, while dogs are omnivores and require a more varied diet.

Snails and beetles have exoskeletons. Hypothesize the advantages and disadvantages of having an exoskeleton rather than a backbone. Explain your answer in one or two sentences

Some advantages of having an exoskeleton include protection from predators and the environment, while some disadvantages include the inability to grow as quickly and the potential for inflexibility. In contrast, some advantages of having a backbone include the ability to support more weight and grow more quickly, while some disadvantages include increased vulnerability to injury and the need to maintain a constant internal balance.

Vertebrates include fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Analyze the common characteristics of reptiles and explain how they differ from mammals. Explain your answer in one or two sentences.

Reptiles and mammals share some characteristics, such as having vertebrae, but reptiles lay eggs instead of giving live birth, and their skin is covered in scales or plates rather than hair or fur. Mammals, on the other hand, are endothermic, have mammary glands for nursing their young, and generally have teeth differentiated for varying diets.
