#1. What are The 6 Kingdoms of Classification?

• Kingdom Archaea (Archaebacteria)

• Kingdom Eubacteria

• Kingdom Plantae

• Kingdom Animalia

• Kingdom Protista

• Kingdom Fungi
  

2. Which 2 Kingdoms contain organisms made of prokaryotic cells?

• Kingdom Archaea (Archaebacteria)

• Kingdom Eubacteria

  • Remember the "bacteria" kingdoms are made of prokaryotic cells

  • Prokaryotic = No nucleus
    

3. What are the 4 Kingdoms made of eukaryotes? 

• Kingdom Protista

• Kingdom Fungi

• Kingdom Animalia

• Kingdom Plantae

  • These kingdoms are made or eukaryotic cells

  • Eukaryotic = HAS a nucleus
    

Multiple Select

Which 2 Kingdoms are made of prokaryotic cells?

(Select 2!)

• Kingdom Archaea

  (Archaebacteria)

• Kingdom Eubacteria

• Kingdom Fungi

• Kingdom Plantae

Multiple Choice

Which 4 kingdoms are made of eukaryotic cells?

• Bacteria, Archaea, Protista, Fungi
• Mammalia, Reptilia, Aves, Amphibia
• Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista
• Monera, Plantae, Animalia, Protista

4. Observe the image below of the protozoan. What organelle does it have that allows it to create its own food in the process of photosynthesis, making it similar to a plant?

This protozoan has a chloroplast, which means it can create it's own food through photosynthesis just like a plant!

Multiple Choice

1. What two characteristics do organisms of the plant kingdom share with organisms of the animal kingdom?

• Multicellular and heterotrophs

• 1. Multicellular and made of eukaryotic cells

• 1. Unicellular and autotrophs

• 1. Unicellular and made of prokaryotic cells

Multiple Choice

An amoeba is a unicellular organism.  It has a nucleus, does not have a cell wall, and is heterotrophic. It is a member of which kingdom?

• Kingdom Protista

• Kingdom Fungi

• Kingdom Animalia

• Kingdom Plantae

Multiple Choice

What are considered typical characteristics of the plant kingdom?

• Unicellular

• Lacks a nucleus

• Makes its own food

• Lacks a cell wall

Multiple Choice

The following diagram compares two kingdoms, the fungi kingdom and the plantae kingdom. The shaded part represents characteristics they both share. What could those characteristics be?

• They are both heterotrophs (make their own food)

• They are both mobile (they move)

• They are both (prokaryotes, no nucleus)

• They are both multicellular

9. Organisms that make their own food are called...

Autotrophs make their own food!
Think of an automatic vending machine. They just AUTOmatically produce the food.

Examples: Plants, some protists, some Eubacteria, some Archaea

10. Organisms that consume other organisms are called...

Heterotrophs have to go out hunt other organisms, they have to seek out other organisms to consume.


Examples: Lions, sharks, Fungi, some Eubacteria, some Archaea

11. A student has discovered an unknown organism. Based on its  characteristics, in which kingdom would you place this organism? 

     Why would you place it there?

    
    

• This organism has a nucleus, its eukaryotic, so that rules out eubacteria and archaea.

• Cell wall is made of chitin AND its a decomposer?

• MUST be a fungus of Kingdom Fungi!

• Fungi are heterotrophs that feed on decaying organisms such as a dead tree.

12. Which kingdom has organisms that are known for their love of harsh and extreme environments?
    

Archaea or Archaebacteria

14. What do we call the two part naming system developed by Carl Linnaeus?

Binomial nomenclature: The process used to give a classified organism a scientific name.
Two names are given.
The first is capitalized, and is the genus name.
The second is lowercase and is the species name.


Example: The scientific name for a gray wolf is Canis lupus.

15. According to the naming system, organisms are given two names based on their…

The last two levels of classification are used to develop the scientific name in binomial nomenclature.

Genus and species




Example: The scientific name for a gray wolf is Canis lupus.
