This kingdom contains organisms that are eukaryotes. They can be both autotrophs and heterotrophs. Some have cell walls. Most are unicellular.

• plant

• animal

• protist

• bacteria

Which of the following questions would have been useful to help early scientists to create more classification groupings beyond just plant and animal?

• Does the organism obtain energy?

• Does the organism move?

• Is the organism multicellular?

• Where does the organism live?

NGSS.MS-LS4-2

Early classification systems placed plants and fungi in the same kingdom. What question would have led scientists to separate plants and fungi into two distinct kingdoms?

• Does the organism use sunlight to

  make food?

• Do the cells contain a nucleus?

• Does the organism many cells?

• Does the organism grow from the ground?

In trying to classify a newly discovered organism, the following characteristics were noted: multicellular, specialized tissues and organs, chlorophyll-containing structures and cell walls. Which kingdom should this organism be placed and why?

• Eubacteria, because it is multicellular and has specialized tissues

• Protista, because it has chlorophyll and is multicellular

• Fungi, because it has cell walls and specialized tissues

• Plant, because it is multicellular and has chlorophyll

What is one characteristics that separates the animal and plant kingdoms?

• Animal kingdom consist of multicellular organisms, while the plant kingdom consists of unicellular organisms.

• Animal kingdom consist of unicellular organisms, while the plant kingdom consists of multicellular organisms.

• Animal kingdom consist of organisms that do not produce their own food for energy, while the plant kingdom does produce their own food for energy

• Animal kingdom consist of organisms that produce their own food for energy, while the plant kingdom does not produce their own food for energy

● The mystery species can perform photosynthesis.

● The mystery species is multicellular.

● The mystery species has a cell wall.

• You can eliminate the animal kingdom because animals are multicellular but do not perform photosynthesis.

• You can eliminate the animal kingdom because animals have cell walls but cannot perform photosynthesis

• You can eliminate the protist kingdom because protists are multicellular but cannot perform photosynthesis

• You can eliminate the protist kingdoms because protist can perform photosynthesis but do not have cell walls
