Classification study guide

How would scientists long time ago create more classification groupings beyond just “plant” and “animal”?

• is the organism multicellular and autotroph

• Can the organism move

The Kingdoms Protista and Fungi are Prokaryote or Eukaryote?

• Eukaryote because their cells have a nucleus

• Prokaryote because their cells do not have a nucleus

Within which category do the organisms show the LEAST variation in characteristics?

• order

• species

Which of the following organisms are members of the Protist kingdom?

• Algae and Amoeba

• mosses and ferns

What is the best way to classify an organism based on this chart?

• Responses to predators and prey

• Cell type and function

In the table above, which organisms are most closely related?

• Octopus 1 and 2

• none

Which of the following shows the correct order of the Linnaean classification system

• Kingdom- phylum - class - order- family - genus - species

• phylum - order - species - genus - kingdom - class- family

In trying to classify a newly discovered organism, the scientist noticed physical features and listed the following classifications: multicellular, autotroph, 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 is an autotroph

What Kingdom is unicellular, prokaryotic organisms that live in harsh environments such as volcanic hot springs, salty pools, and black mud that lacks oxygen. It is also the oldest living organism on Earth?

• Animalia

• Archaebacteria

Based on the organisms’ names, what can be concluded about the relation of each species to one another?

• Both organisms have the same scientific name and same species

• Both organisms have the same genus in their scientific name "Felis".
