Which domains contain a nucleus?

• Eukarya

• Bacteria

• Archaea

What is the name of the system that assigns each species a unique name?

• Taxonomic

• numeric

• geographic

• chronological

Why are dichotomous keys helpful to scientists?

• They determine what species eat.

• They show how organisms are related.

• They help determine where organisms live.

• They are of no help to scientists.

The Linnaean classification system classifies organisms from broadest to most specific in the following order:

• domain-->kingdom-->phylum-->class-->order--->family-->genus-->species

• domain-->kingdom--> class-->order-->family-->genus--->species

• phylum--> order-->species--->genus-->kingdom--> class--->family

• class--->species--->genus---->phylum--->family--->order--->kingdom

Why do we have a taxonomic system?

• to determine the biochemistry of different organisms.

• to organize and identify organisms.

• to magnify living organisms.

• to look at pictures of organisms.

The broadest taxonomic level of classification is the

• class.

• phylum.

• kingdom.

• domain.

The Animalia kingdom is unlike the protista kingdom because

• animals are complex and photosynthetic.

• animals are all mobile and autotrophic.

• animals do not have a cell wall and have more complexity.

• animals have cell walls.

Prokaryotic cells are different than eukaryotic cells because they do not contain a nucleus and are
