Which of the following is NOT an ecological importance of plants?

Filter pollutants out of soil, water, and air

Are important sources of food, shelter, fuel, or building materials

Which of the following is an ecological importance of animals?

Produce carbon dioxide when they breathe

Which of the following is a characteristic of organisms in the Domain Archaea/Kingdom Archaebacteria?

Survives in temperatures above 100°C

Why are taxonomic levels important for understanding organisms in ecosystems?

They organize organisms based on shared traits and roles in the environment.

They help name organisms in alphabetical order.

They group organisms by size and color.

They separate animals from plants only.

What is the role of fungi in most ecosystems?

Decomposers that break down dead organisms

Producers that make their own food

Predators that hunt other organisms

Parasites that never affect other organisms

Bacteria found in the intestines of humans and animals help break down food. What role do these bacteria play in the ecosystem?

Helpers in digestion and nutrient cycling

Producers of oxygen and glucose

Why is the kingdom Protista considered important to aquatic ecosystems?

Many protists are the base of aquatic food chains and produce oxygen.

Many protists serve as top predators in the ocean.

Protists act only as decomposers in water.

Protists are not commonly found in water environments.

What is one key difference between organisms in the Animalia and Plantae kingdoms?

B. Plants make their own food and animals must eat other organisms.

A. Animals are single-celled and plants are multicellular.

C. Animals use photosynthesis and plants do not.

D. Plants move freely and animals are stationary.

How are fungi different from plants in terms of how they obtain energy and their ecological roles?

Fungi absorb nutrients from other organisms, while plants make food through photosynthesis.

Fungi make their own food like plants do.

Fungi and plants both move to find food.

Fungi eat animals, and plants eat bacteria.

Which of the following best describes a characteristic of organisms in the Animalia kingdom?

They are multicellular and consume other organisms for energy.

They produce their own food through photosynthesis.

They absorb nutrients from dead organisms.

They have cell walls made of chitin.

How do plants in Kingdom Plantae influence the carbon and oxygen balance in the atmosphere, and what would happen if plants were removed from an ecosystem?

Plants absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and release oxygen, maintaining atmospheric balance. Without plants, oxygen levels would decrease, and carbon dioxide levels would increase.

Plants absorb carbon dioxide, but they produce more carbon dioxide than oxygen. Without plants, oxygen levels would increase, and carbon dioxide would decrease.

Plants release carbon dioxide and oxygen in equal amounts. Removing plants would have no impact on atmospheric gases.

Plants produce oxygen but do not affect carbon dioxide levels. Without plants, there would be no change in the atmosphere.

A newly discovered unicellular organism lacks a nucleus and lives in extremely salty environments. Based on its characteristics, which taxonomic kingdom would it most likely belong to, and what is its ecological role?

Kingdom Archaea; contributes to biogeochemical cycling in extreme environments

Kingdom Protista; serves as a predator in aquatic ecosystems

Kingdom Bacteria; contributes to nitrogen fixation

Kingdom Animalia; maintains population balance through predation

A bird with feathers and a sharp beak is observed catching fish in a marsh ecosystem. Based on its characteristics and behavior, to which kingdom does this organism belong, and what is its role in the ecosystem?

Kingdom Animalia; it helps control fish populations

Kingdom Plantae; it absorbs sunlight for energy

Kingdom Protista; it filters bacteria from the water

Kingdom Fungi; it recycles nutrients by breaking down dead animals
