genus and species
class and order
This animal's scientific name is Llama glama. To which genus does it belong?
Llama
glama
animalia
chordata
Cells that have NO nucleus are
eukaryotic
prokaryotic
multicellular
autotrophs
Both Domain Archaea and Domain Bacteria contain organisms that are single-celled and prokaryotic. But Archaea are in their own domain because
Archaea are eukaryotic
Archaea have the same kind of cell wall as Bacteria
Archaea live in mainly EXTREME places and have a different cell wall and genetic make up as Bacteria
Archaea have the same genetic code as Bacteria and the same cell wall composition
A newly discovered single-celled organism was found living in 113°C water near an ocean vent. The organism is autotrophic and requires sulfur, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide. Scientists most likely classified this organism as a type of Archaea because many organisms within Archaea —
produce sugars by photosynthesis
can survive in extreme environments
contain chitin in their cell walls
are able to reproduce by binary fission
Which statement best describes organisms in the Domain Archaea and Domain Bacteria?
both domain archaea and domain bacteria include organisms that are all multicellular and eukaryotic
both domain archaea and domain bacteria include organisms that are ALL single celled and prokaryotic.
both domain archaea and domain bacteria include organisms that are all multicellular and prokaryotic
both domain and archaea include plants and animals
To which Domain do each of the kingdoms belong? Drag the Domain to the correct location.
Domain Eukarya
Domain Archaea
Domain Bacteria
Which KINGDOMS are included in the Domain Eukarya? Choose ALL that apply
Kingdom Plantae
Kingdom Fungi
Kingdom Protista
Kingdom Eubacteria
Kingdom Animalia
Which statement best describes the organisms in Domain Eukarya
All the organisms in Domain Eukarya are prokaryotic (their cells do not have a nucleus)
All the organisms in Domain Eukarya are eukaryotic (their cells have a nucleus)
ALL the organisms in Domain Eukarya are single celled
ALL the organisms in Domain Eukarya are multicellular
Which two kingdoms contain organisms that are autotrophs (do photosynthesis)?
Animal and Fungi
Fungi and Plantae
Plantae and Protista
Animal and Protista
This organism in the Domain Eukarya does photosynthesis...BUT it is unicellular AND eukaryotic. To which kingdom does it belong?
Kingdom Plantae
Kingdom Fungi
Kingdom Animalia
Kingdom Protista
There is a group of organisms that are ALL MULTICELLULAR, do photosynthesis, have specialized structures, and cell walls made of CELLULOSE. To which kingdom do they belong?
Kingdom Plantae
Kingdom Fungi
Kingdom Animalia
Kingdom Protista
There is an organism that is EUKARYOTIC, is a DECOMPOSER, and has a CELL WALL MADE OF CHITIN. It belongs to this kingdom.
Kingdom Plantae
Kingdom Fungi
Kingdom Animalia
Kingdom Protista
There is an organism that is eukaryotic, multicellular, a consumer, and does NOT have a cell wall around its cells. It most likely belongs to this Kingdom.
Plantae
Fungi
Animalia
Protista
The ONLY kingdom in which ALL the organisms are both MULTICELLULAR and CONSUMERS is
Plantae
Fungi
Animalia
Protista
Select ALL the correct answers. Select THREE organisms that belong to the phylum Arthropoda
horseshoe crab
snail
spider
snake
millipede
These unicellular organisms (diatoms) perform photosynthesis. But their cell wall is made of silica, not cellulose! (Fun fact: the silica from the cell walls of these organisms is in your toothpaste!) It doesn't neatly fit into 3 of the eukaryotic kingdoms, so it's part of the "junk drawer" kingdom. To which kingdom do these organisms belong?
Plantae
Fungi
Animalia
Protista
