Classification Review

In classifying organisms, family are grouped directly together into larger

• Order

• Family

• Genus

• Kingdom

A scientist is evaluating information on various organisms. Which characteristic would determine the organism has Eukaryotic cells?

• The organism has membrane-bound organelles.

• The organism contains a nucleus

• The organism has a structure for movement/mobility.

• The organism can convert solar energy into chemical energy.

Which of the following kingdoms contains both autotrophs and heterotrophs?

• Fungi

• Kingdom

• Protist

• Animalia

Organisms found in the kingdom Animalia are

• multicellular, eukaryotic autotrophs

• unicellular, prokaryotic autotrophs

• multicellular, eukaryotic heterotrophs

• unicellular, prokaryotic heterotroph

The most specific taxon

• Species

• Domain

• Kingdom

• Order

The taxon that holds the greatest variety of organism

• Order

• Family

• Kingdom

• Genus

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 live in an extreme environment?

• Does the organism have a cell wall?

• Is the organism an autotroph?

• Does the organism have a nucleus?

Looking at the diagram. What feedback would you give your classmate?

•  “All animals reproduce sexually so you need to move ‘may reproduce sexually or asexually ‘to fungi only.”

•  “You need to move the term heterotroph to the ‘animals’ circle because fungi can be heterotrophic or autotrophic”

•  “You should remove ‘has a cell wall’ because neither fungi nor animals have a cell wall.

• “You have all of the information correct.”

The order of taxa from largest to smallest

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

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

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

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

This kingdom ______________have strong cell walls containing peptidoglycan and may cause common diseases    

such as strep throat and pneumonia.

• Eubacteria

• Archeabacteria

• Fungi

• Plantae
