Prior to the 1600’s, what was the classification system that was used to group organisms?

plants, animals, fungi, or protists

plants, animals, fungi, protists, or bacteria

Aristotle developed an early version of classifying living things by categorizing the organisms as plants or animals. Why is the method of classification not appropriate for today’s understanding of biodiversity?

The model does not account for species that are neither plant or animal

The world has millions of different plants and animals.

Plants and animals have many different characteristics

The model does not include the interaction of species with their environment.

How does the organism reproduce?

A student wants to know if a Kangaroo rat ( Diapodomys compactus ) and a Kangaroo ( Macropus osphranter ) have the same genus. Based on the provided names, what can the student conclude about the organisms and relation to the genus?

Both species’ first portion in their scientific name is different, so they are from different genus groups.

Both species have kangaroo in their common name, so they are from the same genus.

Both species have a two-part scientific name, so they are from the same genus.

Both species’ second portion in their scientific name is different, so they are from different genus groups.

Use the table to answer the question that follows. Based on the organisms’ names, what can be concluded about the relation of each species to one another?

Both organisms have the same genus in their scientific name meaning they are members of the same family and order.

Both organisms have the same scientific name meaning they are members of the same genus.

Both organisms have the same species in their scientific name meaning they have are from the same genus and family.

Both organisms do not have the same scientific name meaning they are members of the same genus.

A student found an organism outside the classroom and thinks it may be a newt. The science teacher provides the student with a dichotomous key to help identify what type of organism the student found. What characteristics must be observed for the student to use this classification model to conclude that the organism is a newt?

The animal does have both external gills and no coastal grooves along the side

The animal does not have external gills or scales

The animal does not have external gills, but has scales

The animal does have external gills, but has coastal grooves along the side

A student developed the following dichotomous key to categorize organism into the six kingdoms. What mistake did the student make creating his dichotomous key?

Kingdom Protista can be prokaryotic or eukaryotic.

Kingdom Fungi can be autotrophic or heterotrophic.

Kingdom Fungi can be prokaryotic or eukaryotic.

In trying to classify a newly discovered organism, the following characteristics were noted: multicellular, specialized tissues and organs, chlorophyll-containing structures and cell walls. Into which kingdom should this organism be placed and why?

Plant, because it is multicellular and has chlorophyll

Eubacteria, because it is multicellular and has specialized tissues

Protista, because it has chlorophyll and is multicellular

Fungi, because it has cell walls and specialized tissues

What is one characteristics that separates the animal and plant kingdoms?

Animal kingdom consist of organisms that do not produce their own food for energy, while the plant kingdom does produce their own food for energy.

Animal kingdom consist of multicellular organisms, while the plant kingdom consists of unicellular organisms.

Animal kingdom consist of unicellular organisms, while the plant kingdom consists of multicellular organisms.

Animal kingdom consist of organisms that produce their own food for energy, while the plant kingdom does not produce their own food for energy.

The teacher gives a group of students a mystery species to investigate. The teacher wants students to determine the mystery species’ kingdom. The teacher provides the following clues: ● The mystery species can perform photosynthesis. ● The mystery species is multicellular. ● The mystery species has a cell wall. After receiving the clues, the students start to eliminate the kingdoms into which the mystery species does not belong. Which of the following explanations is accurate?

Students can eliminate the animal kingdom because animals are multicellular but do not perform photosynthesis.

Students can eliminate the animal kingdom because animals have cell walls but cannot perform photosynthesis.

Students can eliminate the protist kingdoms because protist can perform photosynthesis but do not have cell walls.

Students can eliminate the protist kingdom because protists are multicellular but cannot perform photosynthesis.

While studying habitats, a science class took samples from a stream near their school to learn more about the school’s habitat. A student looked at the stream water under a microscope. Below is a list of observations the students recorded after observing an aquatic organism in the stream water sample. Observations: ● Contains a nucleus ● Reproduces asexually ● Uses pseudopods to move ● Is unicellular What conclusion can be made based on the student’s observations?

The organism observed is most likely a protist because it contains a nucleus and is unicellular which are both characteristics of protists.

The organism observed is most likely a protist because it has a nucleus and pseudopod and only protists have nuclei and pseudopods.

The organism observed is most likely an animal because it can move and is unicellular and only animals can move and are unicellular.

The organism observed is most likely an animal because it uses pseudopods to move and is unicellular which are both characteristics of animals.

A scientist discovers a unicellular organism when examining a pond sample under a microscope. Which of the following explanations would provide a correct claim with supporting evidence to determine to which kingdom the organism would belong?

Claim : The organism is a bacteria cell. Evidence : The organism is unicellular, prokaryotic, and reproduces by binary fission.

Claim : The organism is a protist. Evidence : The organism is unicellular, prokaryotic, and lives in a moist environment.

Claim : The organism is a protist. Evidence : The organism is multicellular, eukaryotic, and reproduces by binary fission

Claim : The organism is a bacteria cell. Evidence : The organism is unicellular, eukaryotic, and is found in a moist environment.

What can you find by working through the statements in a dichotomous key?

When a species of organisms appeared on earth.

How many species of organisms are birds.

Early classification systems placed plants and fungi in the same kingdom. After further studying these organisms, taxonomists moved fungi into a separate kingdom. What question would have led scientists to separate plants and fungi into two distinct kingdoms?

Does the organism use sunlight to make food?

Does the organism grow on the ground?

What role did Linnaeus play in classification of organisms?

He started naming organisms using binomial nomenclature.

He classified all life into plants and animals.

He classified all life by where organisms lived.

He utilized DNA technology to form the modern system of naming.

Which two organisms are least closely related?

two organisms from the same kingdom

two organisms from the same order

two organisms from the same family

two organisms from the same genus

How would a dichotomous key be used?

by observing specimens and then answering questions about them

by inserting it into a chamber at a 45 degree angle

by comparing the colors on a strip to the colors obtained during testing

by analyzing a gel agar and recording the distance each fragment had traveled

The study of classifying and describing organisms

The study of how organisms are related

The study of organisms in their habitat

The 8 levels of classification, most broad to most specific .

Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species

Domain, Genus, Family, Order, Class, Phylum, Kingdom, Species

Domain, Species, Kingdom, Genus, Phylum, Family, Class, Order
