Classification Review

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.

Organisms found in the kingdom Animalia are

• multicellular, eukaryotic autotrophs

• unicellular, prokaryotic heterotrophs

• unicellular, prokaryotic autotrophs

• multicellular, eukaryotic heterotrophs

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

Scientists discovered a multicellular, autotrophic organism.  They studied the organism and found the cell walls

were made of a complex carbohydrate (cellulose).  In which kingdom should this organism be placed?

• Fungi

• Archaebacteria

• Eubacteria

• Plantae

What is the basic structure of a virus?

• DNA or RNA surrounded by a protein coat

• A capsid surrounded by a protein coat

• A head and tail fibers

• A tiny cell surrounded by a cell wall

Which piece of evidence above would BEST support the argument that Sample B is a virus?

• It lacks a nucleus.

• It does not give off oxygen.

• It has DNA.

• It cannot reproduce without a host.

What Kingdom are we a part of?

• Plantea

• Fungi

• Animalia

• Protista

Which of the following is not a kingdom in the domain Eukarya?

• Animalia

• Bacteria

• Plantae

• Fungi
