Classification 2

What are the Six Kingdoms?

1. Archebacteria 2. Eubacteria 3. Protista 4. Fungi 5. Plantae 6. Animalia

What are the characteristics of organisms in kingdom protista?

1. Most are unicellular (eukaryotic cells, unlike bacteria) 2. Autotrophic 3. Examples: Slime molds and algae

What are the characteristics of organisms found in kingdom animalia?

1. Multicellular 2. Heterotrophic 3. Cells without cell walls

What are the characteristics of organisms in kingdom fungi?

1. heterotrophic (consume dead/decaying material) 2. many reproduce using spores 3. examples: mushrooms, mold, mildew 4. thrive in warm, moist conditions

Autotrophs are also called: A.) producers B.)consumers C.)decomposers D.)scavengers

A

Given the scientific name of a lion, Panthera leo, the first word tells us the ______A______ and the second word tells us the _________B__________

A: Genus B: Species

What is the definition of autotroph?

An organism that makes its own food. Producer.

What is the definition of heterotroph?

An organism that must consume other organisms as food. Consumer.

Prokaryotes are only found in what two kingdoms?

Archaebacteria and Eubacteria

What kingdoms are made up of prokaryotes?

Archebacteria and Eubactera

What two kingdoms were formerly grouped together in the Kingdom Monera?

Archebacteria and Eubacteria

How many kingdoms are there? A) 3 B) 6 C) 1 D) 10

B

Of the six kingdoms now recognized, A) two are plants and four are animals B) four are eukaryotes and two are prokaryotes C) four are macroscopic and two are microscopic D) two are eukaryotes and four are prokaryotes E) two are carnivorous and four are herbivorous

B

Which one of the following sequences shows the correct hierarchy of classification, going from the most inclusive to the least inclusive? A) Kingdom, Domain, Phylum, Order, Class, Family, Genus, Species B) Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species C) Genus, Species, Kingdom, Phylum, Order, Class, Family D) Species, Genus, Family, Class, Order, Phylum, Kingdom E) Domain, Phylum, Kingdom, Genus, Species, Family, Order, Class

B

Why is it important to give organisms a scientific name using Binomial Nomenclature?

Because the scientific name of an organism will be the same no matter where in the world you may be. Better than common names, which can be misleading (roly poly in Texas, but a pill bug up North)

The binomial system of classification was developed by: A) Darwin B) Wallace C) Linnaeus D) Malthus E) none of the above

C

The illustration is an example of a __________________

D

Prokaryotic organisms make up the A) Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, and Protists B) Archaebacteria and Protists C) Protists and Eubacteria D) Protists E) Eubacteria and Archaebacteria

E

What kingdom contains organisms most responsible for decomposition?

Fungi

What is a saying to help you remember the levels of taxonomy in order?

King Philip Come Over For Good Soup?

What are the levels of taxonomy in order from most INCLUSIVE to most EXCLUSIVE (biggest to smallest)

Kingdom --> Phylum --> Class --> Order --> Family --> Genus --> Species

No

taxonomic grouping of similar classes

classification

the grouping of objects or information based on similarities

binomial nomenclature

two-word naming system used in the classification of organisms developed by Linnaeus.
