EOC Classification/ Domains and Kingdoms

Mushrooms are a type of fungus. What characteristic of fungi makes them different from plants?

• Fungal cells are eukaryotic.

• Fungi are multicellular

• Fungi are heterotrophic.

• Fungi have cell walls.

Many protists are single-celled organisms, as are bacteria. However, protists and bacteria are in different biological kingdoms. Which of the following comparisons of protists and bacteria is NOT true?

• Both protists and bacteria can be motile.

• Both protists and bacteria are microorganisms.

• Protists are eukaryotes, while bacteria are prokaryotes.

• Protists may be photosynthetic, but bacteria cannot be photosynthetic.

Plants and fungi are in different biological kingdoms for several reasons. Which of the following does NOT correctly describe a difference between plants and fungi?

• plants create biomass; fungi consume biomass

• Plants have seeds and pollen; fungi have spores.

• Plant cell walls are made of chitin; fungi cell walls are made of cellulose.

• Plants can make their own food; fungi obtain their food from other sources.

Animals are heterotrophic, meaning that they participate in food chains and get energy from consuming organic compounds. Which other biological kingdom is made up entirely of heterotrophic organisms?

• fungi

• plants

• protists

• bacteria

All Archaea and bacteria are microscopic, prokaryotic organisms. However, Archaea and bacteria differ in significant ways. Which of the following is the MOST important reason that Archaea and bacteria belong to separate biological domains?

• Archaea are less likely to inhabit the bodies of animals than bacteria.

• Archaea have a very different sensitivity to antibiotics than bacteria and most are more resistant.

• Archaea transfer genes similar to a eukaryote, and they have a different genetic history than bacteria.

• Though they are found in many environments, Archaea may live in more extreme conditions than bacteria.
