Quiz: The Six Kingdoms of Life Edited

Which kingdom includes organisms that are multicellular and can perform photosynthesis?

• Animalia

• Plantae

• Fungi

• Protista

Which kingdom is characterized by its members being unicellular and prokaryotic, often found in extreme environments?

• Eubacteria

• Archaebacteria

• Protista

• Fungi

Members of which kingdom are primarily decomposers, breaking down dead organic material?

• Plantae

• Animalia

• Fungi

• Protista

Which kingdom includes organisms that are unicellular, eukaryotic, and can be either autotrophic or heterotrophic?

• Protista

• Fungi

• Eubacteria

• Archaebacteria

Organisms in the Animalia Kingdom are characterized by all of the following EXCEPT:

• Being multicellular

• Having cell walls

• Being heterotrophic

• Having specialized tissues

Which kingdom is known for its members having a rigid cell wall made of peptidoglycan?

• Archaebacteria

• Eubacteria

• Fungi

• Plantae

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of the Plantae Kingdom?

• Autotrophic nutrition

• Multicellular organisms

• Presence of chlorophyll

• Ability to move independently

The Fungi Kingdom is unique because its members:

• Can perform photosynthesis

• Have a cell wall made of chitin

• Are mostly unicellular and prokaryotic

• Can move independently at some stage of their life cycle

Which kingdom's members are often mistaken for fungi but are actually closer to the animal kingdom in terms of their nutritional habits?

• Protista

• Eubacteria

• Archaebacteria

• Plantae

Archaebacteria differ from Eubacteria in that Archaebacteria:

• Lack a cell wall

• Have a cell wall made of peptidoglycan

• Are found in extreme environments

• Are mostly multicellular
