Six Kingdoms

An organism that can make its own food through photosynthesis is called a(n):

• eukaryote

• fungus

• heterotroph

• autotroph

Simple cells with no nucleus and no membrane bound organelles:

• prokaryotic

• eukaryotic

• multicellular

• heterotroph

Organisms made of many cells:

• unicellular

• multicellular

• autotroph

• protist

Complex cells that have a true nucleus and membrane bound organelles:

• autotroph

• prokaryotic

• eukaryotic

• bacteria

Organisms made of a single cell:

• heterotroph

• autotroph

• unicellular

• multicellular

Organisms that must consume or decompose to obtain energy:

• heterotroph

• autotroph

• prokaryote

• eukaryote

Protists are organisms that are classified in their own kingdom. Protists are not plants or animals, yet some protists have characteristics like those of either plants, animals, or both. These organisms can move from place to place while obtaining nutrients. This protozoan can also use the energy of the sun to make food. Which structure labeled on the protozoan contributes to the nutrient intake, much like organisms in the plant kingdom?

• Mitochondrion

• Chloroplast

• Cell Membrane

• Nucleus

Eukaryotes are classified into four kingdoms according to certain characteristics. The diagram shows some characteristics of those four kingdoms. Which of the following kingdoms is the plant kingdom?

• Kingdom 1

• Kingdom 2

• Kingdom 3

• Kingdom 4

A scientist discovered a new organism in some caves in Tennessee. The organism has the following characteristics: it is multicellular, it is mobile (can move), its cells lack cell walls, and it is heterotrophic. Based on the information, to which kingdom does the organism belong?

• Bacteria

• Plantae

• Archaea

• Animal

Marjorie was examining three cells with a microscope and observed the following characteristics for Cell 1, Cell 2, and Cell 3. She makes several claims about which kingdom each cell belonged to. Which of the following TWO (2) claims correctly use evidence to explain her reasoning?

• Cell 1 could belong to a protist because it uses flagella to move and lives in 350°F water.

• Cell 1 could belong to an archaea because it has no nucleus and lives in 350°F water.

• Cell 2 could belong to a protist because it has mitochondria and no chloroplasts.

• Cell 2 could belong to a fungus because it is multicellular and a decomposer.

• Cell 3 could belong to an animal because it has a nucleus and is an autotroph.
