wings, the hind pair being the smaller of the two; in a very few species, one sex or
caste has relatively short wings that make flight difficult or impossible, but none are
wingless.
The smallest bee is Trigona minima, a stingless bee whose workers are about 2.1
mm (5/64") long. The largest bee in the world is Megachile pluto, a leafcutter bee

Read the following text and answer the questions 97 to 100

Birds belong to a class of warm blooded vertebrate animals with feather covered bodies.
Next to the mammals, birds are the most important group of land-living vertebrates. All birds
have feathers, although in some types, particularly those that can not fly, the normal structure
of the feathers may be much modified and be downy, woolly, or straw like. The forelimbs of
birds are modified into wings. The bony part of the tail, except in the very earliest fossil birds,
is very short, and the visible tail is composed of feathers only. The teeth are absent except in
some fossil forms. As in mammals-the only other group of warm blooded animal-the circulation is
highly perfected so that there is no mixing of arterial and venous blood, but the arrangement of
veins and arteries by which this is accomplished, is different in the two groups. Birds have keen
hearing, although they have no external ears. The sense of sight also is very keen, but the sense
of smell is weak or lacking, except in a small few vultures and other birds.

a. Species c. Clarification e. characteristics
