Front

What are the 6 kingdoms of classification?

Back

The 6 kingdoms are: Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista, Archaebacteria, and Eubacteria.

Front

What is a defining characteristic of the Animalia kingdom?

Back

Members of the Animalia kingdom are multicellular, heterotrophic organisms that lack cell walls.

Front

What does it mean for an organism to be heterotrophic?

Back

Heterotrophic organisms cannot produce their own food and must consume other organisms for energy.

Front

What is the primary difference between autotrophs and heterotrophs?

Back

Autotrophs produce their own food (e.g., through photosynthesis), while heterotrophs obtain food by consuming other organisms.

Front

Which kingdom includes unicellular organisms that can perform photosynthesis?

Back

The Protista kingdom includes unicellular organisms that can be autotrophic and perform photosynthesis.

Front

What is a common feature of bacteria?

Back

Bacteria are unicellular organisms that have DNA and can be either prokaryotic or eukaryotic.

Front

What type of organisms are found in the Plantae kingdom?

Back

The Plantae kingdom consists of multicellular, autotrophic organisms that have cell walls made of cellulose.

Front

What is the main difference between Archaebacteria and Eubacteria?

Back

Archaebacteria are often found in extreme environments and have distinct biochemistry compared to Eubacteria, which are more common and diverse.

Front

What is a characteristic of fungi?

Back

Fungi are multicellular (except for yeast), heterotrophic organisms that absorb nutrients from their environment.

Front

What type of cells do eukaryotic organisms have?

Back

Eukaryotic organisms have cells with a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
