18.3 Building the Tree of Life and Human Evolution

A hetertrophic, eukaryotic organism associated with the decomposition of dead material is a(n):

• bacteria
• fungi
• plant
• archaea

How many kingdoms are there?

• 2
• 3
• 6
• 8

This kingdom includes unicellular organisms, they reproduce quickly by binary fission (asexual), and live in your gut.

• Archaebacteria
• Fungi
• Eubacteria
• Protists

A newly described organism is multicellular, does not carry out photosynthesis, and absorbs nutrients from the environment. It is composed of eukaryotic cells with cell walls. In which kingdom would the organism be classified?

• Plantae
• Eubacteria
• Animalia
• Fungi

Archaebacteria and Eubacteria are very similar. What is the one difference that separates these two kingdoms?

• archaebacteria are prokaryotes, whereas eubacteria are eukaryotes
• archaebacteria live in extreme harsh environments, whereas eubacteria are common everyday bacteria
• archaebacteria are multicellular, whereas eubacteria are unicellular
• archaebacteria are heterotrophs, whereas eubacteria are autotrophs

What is the difference between fungi and plants?

• Fungi have cell walls, plants don't
• Fungi do not have chloroplasts
• There is no difference
• Fungi have chloroplasts, plants don't

Which kingdom contains members who are prokaryotic?

• Archaebacteria and Eubacteria
• Archaebacteria and Protista
• Eubacteria and Animalia
• Eubacteria  and Fungi

Which domain is capable of living in extreme environments like hot springs, geysers, or very salty waters?

• Bacteria
• Archaea
• Eukarya

I am a eukaryote, photosynthetic, and autotrophic. What kingdom do I belong to?

I am a eukaryote, microscopic, and unicellular. What kingdom do I belong to?

• Animalia
• Fungi
