domain and kingdom classification
Kingdom Archaea
Archaebacteria Prokaryote No nuclei Motile and Sessile Some have cell walls Unicellular Chemoautotroph / Autotroph Reproduces asexually They live in extreme environments, heat, salty, acidic.
Kingdom Protista
Eukaryotic Both multicellular and unicellular Both Heterotrophic and Autotroph Reproduce both asexually and sexually Motile and Sessile Some have cell walls and some don't
Kingdom Plantae
Eukaryotic Domain: Eukarya Autotroph Cell wall, chloroplast Multicellular Sessile Has nuclei, and a large central vacuole. Reproduce both Asexually and Sexually
Kingdom Animalia
Eukaryotic Multicellular No cell wall, no chloroplast Motile Heterotrophic Has nuclei
Carlos discovers an organism growing in a damp area in the forest. It has many cells. It has cell walls made of chitin. It cannot photosynthesize and must absorb other organisms for energy and nutrients. It is most likely an organism from which of the following kingdoms?
Fungi
Which two taxa are used to make an organism's binomial name?
Genus and Species are the two parts of the binomial nomenclature
Kingdom Eubacteria
Prokaryote Unicellular Bacteria No nuclei Both Heterotrophic and Autotroph Motile and Sessile Reproduces asexually Cell walls made out of petidoglycan, bacterial cell wall
Which kingdom contains a wide variety of eukaryotic organisms that can be either unicellular or multicellular, motile or sessile, and heterotrophic or autotrophic?
Protista
Which Kingdoms can be unicellular or multicellular?
Protista Fungi
Which of the following do ALL organisms have in common?
They use DNA or RNA to store genetic information.
Which of these lists characteristics of the Kingdom Plantae?
autotroph, cell walls, photosynthesis
The two-word system that scientists use for naming organisms is called
binomial nomenclature.
Which of the following characteristics (traits) distinguishes Plants from Fungi?
cloroplast
Which of the following is the largest division to which a group of organisms can belong?
domain
Based on their names, you know that the baboons Papio annubis and Papio cynocephalus belong to the same
genus
Which of the following terms best describes how organisms in kingdom Fungi obtain energy and nutrients?
heterotroph
Protista is an example of a(n)
kingdom
Which Kingdom consists of unicellular organisms that exist mainly in extreme environments, such as hydrothermal vents and salt marshes?
Archaebacteria
Which Kingdoms are ALWAYS multicellular?
Animalia Plantae
The two domains composed of only unicellular (single-celled) organisms are
Archaea and Eukarya.
A scientist discovers a new organism that lives in extremely acidic environments. It is heterotrophic, unicellular, and motile. The cells are very small and simple and contain cell walls, but no nucleus. Which Kingdom does this organism most likely come from?
Archaebacteria
Kingdom Fungi
Domain: Eukarya Heterotrophic Multicellular, can be unicellular Has nuclei Reproduce both Asexually and Sexually Sessile Cell wall made from Chitin
Which Kingdoms never have a nucleus?
Eubacteria Archaebacteria
Which Kingdoms contain unicellular organisms?
Eubacteria Archaebacteria Protista Fungi
Which Kingdoms contain prokaryotic organisms?
Eubacteria and Archaebacteria
Staphylococcus aureus is a single-celled prokaryotic organism that feeds on human flesh and reproduces asexually. This organism is responsible for painful "Staph infections" that cause itching and burning in the skin. In which Kingdom does S. aureus belong?
Kingdom Eubacteria
The image above is of Euglena. It is a single-celled organism with a flagellum for movement that can photosynthesize and consume prey for energy. Each Euglena contains a nucleus and other organelles, including chloroplasts. In which Kingdom does Euglena belong?
Kingdom Protista- because it is a single-celled organism with a nucleus
Which taxon includes more organisms, Order or Family?
Order contains more organisms. It's more inclusive than family.
Which is the only domain that contains organisms whose cell walls are made of peptidoglycan?
prokarya
