If an organism is unicellular but has a nucleus, then it belong to this kingdom.
plant
animal
protist
bacteria
What is the main difference between members of the plant and fungi kingdoms?
fungus are multicellular
fungus are heterotrophs
fungus are eukaryotic
fungus have a cell wall
This kingdom contains organisms that are eukaryotes. They can be both autotrophs and heterotrophs. Some have cell walls. Most are unicellular.
plant
animal
protist
bacteria
Which of the following questions would have been useful to help early scientists to create more classification groupings beyond just plant and animal?
Does the organism obtain energy?
Does the organism move?
Is the organism multicellular?
Where does the organism live?
Early classification systems placed plants and fungi in the same kingdom. What question would have led scientists to separate plants and fungi into two distinct kingdoms?
Does the organism use sunlight to
make food?
Do the cells contain a nucleus?
Does the organism many cells?
Does the organism grow from the ground?
In trying to classify a newly discovered organism, the following characteristics were noted: multicellular, specialized tissues and organs, chlorophyll-containing structures and cell walls. Which kingdom should this organism be placed and why?
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
Plant, because it is multicellular and has chlorophyll
What is one characteristics that separates the animal and plant kingdoms?
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 do not produce their own food for energy, while the plant kingdom does produce their own food for energy
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 mystery species can perform photosynthesis.
● The mystery species is multicellular.
● The mystery species has a cell wall.
You can eliminate the animal kingdom because animals are multicellular but do not perform photosynthesis.
You can eliminate the animal kingdom because animals have cell walls but cannot perform photosynthesis
You can eliminate the protist kingdom because protists are multicellular but cannot perform photosynthesis
You can eliminate the protist kingdoms because protist can perform photosynthesis but do not have cell walls
Observations:
*Contains a nucleus
*Reproduces asexually
*Uses pseudopods to move
*Is unicellular
Animal because it can move and is unicellular and only animals can move and are unicellular
Protist because it contains a nucleus and is unicellular which are both characteristics of protists
Animal because it uses pseudopods to move and is unicellular which are both characteristics of animals
Protist because it has a nucleus and pseudopod and only protists have nuclei and pseudopods
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?
The organism is a protist because it is unicellular, prokaryotic, and lives in a moist environment
The organism is a protist because it is multicellular, eukaryotic, and reproduces by binary fission
The organism is a bacteria cell because it is unicellular, eukaryotic, and is found in a moist environment
The organism is a bacteria cell because it is unicellular, prokaryotic, and reproduces by binary fission
A new organism has been discovered living in small puddles formed on the leaves of plants in the tropical rainforest. The new organism is a single celled eukaryote with cell walls, chloroplasts, and appears to reproduce asexually.
It should be placed in the plant kingdom.
It should be placed in the animal kingdom.
It should be placed in the protist kingdom.
It should be placed in the eubacteria kingdom.
A new organism is discovered in the Pacific Ocean. This new species was brown and covered with spines. It was made up of many eukaryotic cells. Its body was organized into tissues and organs. The organism’s cells contained no chlorophyll, and there appeared to be male and female forms.
It should be placed in the plant kingdom.
It should be placed in the protist kingdom
It should be placed in the fungi kingdom
It should be placed in the animal kingdom
A strange organism was found by a local hiker growing out of the leaf litter in a nearby park. The organism is a previously unidentified multicellular eukaryote. Examination in the lab shows that the organism has cell walls but does not appear to have chloroplasts.
It should be placed in the plant kingdom
It should be placed in the protist kingdom
It should be placed in fungi kingdom
It should be placed in animal kingdom
