Kingdoms (sol review)

Front

What are autotrophic organisms?

Back

Organisms that produce their own food using light, water, carbon dioxide, or other chemicals. Examples include plants, eubacteria, archaea, and protista.

Front

Which kingdom has a cell wall made of chitin?

Back

Fungi.

Front

What are heterotrophic organisms?

Back

Organisms that cannot produce their own food and must consume other organisms for energy. Examples include archaea, eubacteria, fungi, animals, and protista.

Front

What are prokaryotic cells?

Back

Cells that do not have a nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles. Examples include archaea and eubacteria.

Front

Which kingdom has a cell wall made of cellulose?

Back

Plants.

Front

What is the main characteristic of the kingdom Archaea?

Back

Archaea are single-celled organisms that are prokaryotic and often live in extreme environments.

Front

What distinguishes eubacteria from archaea?

Back

Eubacteria have a different cell wall composition and are more common in everyday environments compared to archaea.

Front

What is the role of fungi in ecosystems?

Back

Fungi decompose organic matter, recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem.

Front

What are the main differences between plants and animals?

Back

Plants are autotrophic and have cell walls made of cellulose, while animals are heterotrophic and lack cell walls.

Front

What is the significance of protista in the classification of life?

Back

Protista is a diverse group that includes organisms that do not fit into the other kingdoms, often serving as a bridge between prokaryotic and eukaryotic life.
