domains and kingdoms

1)    Scientists have recently discovered a new species that lives attached to the side of a tree. An organism from this new species:

o   is multicellular

o   has cell walls made of cellulose

o   has vascular tissues

o   makes its own food

o   has structures that absorb moisture from the air

Which of these terms best describes this new organism?

• Kingdom Fungi

• Kingdom Plantae

• Kingdom Protista

• Kingdom Eubacteria

Which of the following properties could be used to distinguish between an organism in the domain Bacteria and one in the domain Eukarya?

• Domains and kingdoms are used to group up organisms based on their characteristics or traits

• Domain bacteria contains complex organism while Eukarya contains simple organisms

• if it contains membrane-bound organelles

• if it uses energy to carry out multiple functions

The table below shows some of the defining characteristics of the different kingdoms. Number 4 most likely represents what kingdom?

• Plant

• Protist

• Animal

• Fungi

In the domain system of classification, prokaryotes are divided into domain: Archaea and Bacteria. The two domains differ in all but one feature. That is, both...

• Live in extreme environments

• Have prokaryotic cells

• Have peptidoglycan cell walls

• Have a nucleus

I am only made of one cell.  My cell does not have an organized nucleus.  I only have one parent. Sometimes I make my own food, but other times, I eat food.  I like to live in volcano vents, salt water of deep oceans, or the freezing cold Arctic.

• Bacteria

• Archaea

• Eukarya

• Protist
