Kingdoms of Life

What are the three main domains of life?

• Prokaryotes, Eukaryotes, Viruses

• Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya

• Plants, Animals, Fungi

• Mammals, Reptiles, Birds

Which kingdom includes organisms such as bacteria and cyanobacteria?

• Kingdom Fungi

• Kingdom Monera

• Kingdom Protista

• Kingdom Plantae

What are the main characteristics of archaea?

• Single-celled organisms with a cell wall lacking cellulose and thriving in moderate environments.

• Multi-celled organisms with a cell wall made of peptidoglycan and thriving in moderate environments.

• Photosynthetic organisms with a cell wall lacking peptidoglycan and thriving in extreme environments.

• Single-celled organisms with a cell wall lacking peptidoglycan and thriving in extreme environments.

Which kingdom includes organisms such as amoebas and algae?

• Animalia

• Plantae

• Fungi

• Protista

What are the main characteristics of protists?

• Heterotrophic, only unicellular, always parasitic

• Prokaryotic, multicellular, only autotrophic

• Multicellular, only mixotrophic, always aerobic

• Eukaryotic, mostly unicellular, can be autotrophic, heterotrophic, or mixotrophic

Which kingdom includes organisms such as mushrooms and yeasts?

• Fungi

• Bacteria

• Animals

• Plants

What are the main characteristics of fungi?

• Unicellular, silica cell walls, budding reproduction, photosynthesis

• Multicellular, no cell walls, binary fission, ingestion of nutrients

• Prokaryotic, cellulose cell walls, sexual reproduction, photosynthesis

• Eukaryotic, chitin cell walls, spore reproduction, absorption of nutrients

What are the differences between bacteria and archaea?

• Archaea have peptidoglycan in their cell walls, while bacteria do not

• Bacteria and archaea both have the same cell wall structure

• Bacteria have peptidoglycan in their cell walls, while archaea do not. Archaea have a different genetic makeup and metabolic pathways compared to bacteria.

• Bacteria and archaea have identical genetic makeup and metabolic pathways

What are the differences between protists and fungi?

• Protists are prokaryotic organisms, while fungi are eukaryotic organisms

• Protists are eukaryotic organisms that are not plants, animals, or fungi, while fungi are eukaryotic organisms that obtain nutrients through absorption. Protists can be unicellular or multicellular, while fungi are mostly multicellular. Additionally, protists can perform photosynthesis, while fungi cannot.

• Protists obtain nutrients through absorption, while fungi can perform photosynthesis

• Protists are mostly multicellular, while fungi are mostly unicellular

How do bacteria contribute to the environment and human health?

• Bacteria contribute to the environment and human health by causing diseases and infections

• Bacteria contribute to the environment and human health by producing harmful toxins

• Bacteria contribute to the environment and human health through processes such as decomposition, nitrogen fixation, oxygen production, digestion aid, vitamin production, and pathogen protection.

• Bacteria contribute to the environment and human health by depleting oxygen levels
