Answer:

Begin with the first statement or question in the key and read it carefully.

Look for the characteristic described in the statement or question in the unknown organism.

Based on the presence or absence of the characteristic, choose the next statement or question in the key that corresponds to the characteristic.

Repeat the process until you have reached the end of the key and have identified the unknown organism.
