Taxonomy
This is the broadest level of classification.
What is domain?
These organisms are prokaryotic and often live in extreme environments.
What are Archaea?
Bacteria are this type of cell.
What are prokaryotic cells?
Protists are classified as this type of cell.
What are eukaryotic cells?
Fungi are this type of nutrition.
What are heterotrophs?
This level comes directly after Kingdom.
What is Phylum?
This type of archaea lives in very salty environments.
What are halophiles?
⭐ DAILY DOUBLE ⭐
This protective outer layer helps some bacteria resist antibiotics.
What is a capsule?
This protist moves using pseudopods.
What is an amoeba?
The cell wall of fungi is made of this substance.
What is chitin?
⭐ DAILY DOUBLE ⭐
This classification level groups organisms that can reproduce and produce fertile offspring.
What is Species?
Unlike bacteria, archaea do NOT have this substance in their cell walls.
What is peptidoglycan?
This type of bacteria is round-shaped.
What are cocci?
This protist uses cilia for movement.
What is a paramecium?
⭐ DAILY DOUBLE ⭐
The network formed by hyphae is called this.
Answer: What is mycelium?
This system of naming organisms uses two names.
What is binomial nomenclature?
⭐ DAILY DOUBLE ⭐
This type of archaea lives in extremely hot environments like hydrothermal vents.
What are thermophiles?
This process allows bacteria to reproduce quickly by splitting in two.
What is binary fission?
⭐ DAILY DOUBLE ⭐
This protist can both photosynthesize and consume food.
What is Euglena?
A fungus that feeds on dead matter is called this.
What is a decomposer?
This scientist developed the modern system of classification.
Who is Carl Linnaeus?
Even though they are prokaryotic, archaea are genetically more similar to this domain.
What is Eukarya?
This type of bacteria survives without oxygen.
What are anaerobic bacteria?
Protists are difficult to classify because they share traits with these three kingdoms.
What are plants, animals, and fungi?
This symbiotic relationship exists between fungi and plant roots.
What is mycorrhizae?
