Which of the following classification is of the highest hierarchy? (broadest)

• class

• domain

• species

• kingdom

Why are there less organisms at lower levels of classification?

• The lower the level the closer the relation of the organisms

  
  

• The lower the level the smaller the organism

• The higher the level the closer the relation of the organism

• The higher the level the more complex the organism

How do plants differ from fungi?

NGSS.MS-LS2-3

Fungi were once classified as plants. Why did this change?

• New evidence led to reclassification

• They both have cell walls

• There were too many plants, so something had to go

• They weren't reclassified. Fungi are plants!

Which of the following tools MOST LIKELY led to the broadening of the classification system from just plants and animals?

• Telescopes allowed us to see plants

• Magnifying glass helped us see ants up close

• Microscopes allowed us to see single celled organisms

• Microscopes showed different structures of animals

What is a heterotroph?

• an organism that makes its own food

• an organism that gives birth to live young

• an organism that eats other organisms for food

• an organism that can't more

What is lowest (most specific) level of classification?

• genus

• kingdom

• domain

• species

This organism is single-celled but very similar to an animal. What kingdom should it be placed into?

• animal

• protist

• bacteria

• plant

This organism is multicellular, autotrophic, and cannot move around freely. What kingdom would it be classified into?

• animal

• protist

• fungi

• plant
