EOC Review - Classification

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.

• animalia
• eubacteria
• fungi
• plantae

All organisms in the kingdoms Protista, Plantae, Fungi, and Animalia are

• Plantae-°©‐ is an autotroph

One characteristic shared by a virus and a living cell is that both

• have a crystalline structure.
• gain energy directly from the sun.
• store genetic information in nucleic acids.
