Front

All organisms that do not fit into plant, fungi, and animal kingdoms but have a nucleus are:

Back

protists

Front

Structures that are different in structure, but similar in function.

Back

analogous structures

Front

An autotrophic, multicellular organism that creates its own energy through photosynthesis, and has a cell wall made of cellulose belongs to what kingdom?

Back

plantae

Front

What is the primary function of homologous structures in evolutionary biology?

Back

To demonstrate common ancestry among different species.

Front

What are the main characteristics of the kingdom Animalia?

Back

Eukaryotic, multicellular, heterotrophic, and primarily reproduce sexually.

Front

What distinguishes protists from other kingdoms?

Back

They are mostly unicellular and can be autotrophic or heterotrophic.

Front

Give an example of analogous structures and explain their significance.

Back

Wings of bats and wings of insects; they show adaptation to similar functions despite different evolutionary origins.

Front

What is the role of photosynthesis in the Plantae kingdom?

Back

To convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.
