Classification Review

In classifying organisms, orders are grouped directly together into larger

• classes

• phyla

• families

• genera (genus) 

A scientist is evaluating information on various organisms shown here.

Which characteristic would communicate that an organism is a eukaryote? 

• The organism can convert solar energy into chemical energy.

• The organism has a structure for movement/mobiliy

• The organism has membrane-bound organelles.

• The organism contains DNA.

Which of the following kingdoms contains both autotrophs and heterotrophs?

• animals

• fungi

• protists

• plants

Organisms found in the kingdom Animalia are

• multicellular, eukaryotic autotrophs

• unicellular, prokaryotic heterotrophs

• unicellular, prokaryotic autotrophs

• multicellular, eukaryotic heterotrophs

The most specific taxon is the

• family

• order

• species

• class

Which taxon that has the most variety of organisms?

• kingdom

• phylum

• genus

• class

A scientist discovers a unicellular, prokaryotic organism. What question should they ask to determine whether this organism falls under the kingdom eubacteria or archaebacteria?

• Does the organism have a cell wall?

• Does the organism live in an extreme environment?

• Is the organism an autotroph?

• Does the organism have a nucleus?

The order of taxa, from the largest to the smallest is

• Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Family, Order, Genus, Species

• Kingdom, Class, Order, Phylum, Family, Genus, Species

• Species, Genus, Family, Order, Class, Phylum, Kingdom

• Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species

________________ have strong cell walls (have peptidoglycan) and may cause common diseases such as strep throat and pneumonia.

• eubacteria

• fungi

• archaebacteria

• protist

If living things with pseudopeptidoglycan are found on Mars they would probably belong to which of the following kingdoms?

• Animalia

• Plantae

• Archaebacteria

• Protista
