2.3 Domains and Kingdoms

Organisms classified as fungi have unique characteristics. Which of the following characteristics is found only in organisms classified in the fungi kingdom?

• single cells without a nucleus

• multicellular with chloroplasts

• multicellular filaments that absorb nutrients

• colonies of single photosynthetic cells that reproduce asexually

Based on the given characteristics below, this organism would be classified in which kingdom?

Characteristics:

eukaryotic, multicellular, produces spores, can reproduce sexually and asexually, lacks chlorophyll, non-motile

• eubacteria

• fungi

• plant

• protist

What is the difference between unicellular and multicellular?

• They are the same
• One has a nucleus and one doesn't
• Unicellular has one cell and multicellular has many 
• One is bacteria and the is archaebacteria

Animals are considered highly motile organisms. This is because animals-

• can move themselves around
• are composed of a single cell
• do not contain nuclei in their cells
