Kingdom Basics
What are the 6 kingdoms?
What is Archaea, Eubacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia
What is the difference between Unicellular and multicellular?
What is Uni= 1 Multi= many
How do autotrophs and heterotrophs get energy differently?
What is Autotrophs make food; heterotrophs consume others
Which kingdom do humans belong to?
What is Animalia
You discover an organism that is unicellular, has no nucleus, and lives in extremely hot environments.What kingdom is it and how do you know?
What is Archaea; prokaryotic (no nucleus) and lives in extreme environments
What is classification and why do scientists use it?
What is Grouping organisms based on similarities to organize and study life
How are prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells different?
What is Prokaryotic = no nucleus; Eukaryotic = has nucleus
Which kingdoms contain autotrophs?
What is Plantae and some Protista
What is one difference between Plantae and Animalia?
What is Plants make food; animals consume food
A scientist finds an organism that is multicellular, has chloroplasts, and produces its own food using sunlight.
What kingdom is it and how do you know?
What is Plantae; eukaryotic, autotrophic, contains chlorophyll
Which kingdom includes organisms that make their own food and are multicellular?
What is Plantae?
Which kingdoms are prokaryotic and what do they have in common?
What is Archaea & Eubacteria; both lack a nucleus
Why are fungi classified as heterotrophs even though they do not “eat” like animals?
What is They absorb nutrients from other organisms
An organism's scientific names contain which 2 levels of classification?
What is Genus and Species
You observe an organism that is unicellular, has a nucleus, and can both make its own food AND consume other organisms.
What kingdom is it and how do you know?
Protista; eukaryotic, mostly unicellular, can be autotrophic or heterotrophic
Which kingdom includes organisms that make their own food and are multicellular?
What is Fungi?
A scientist finds a cell with a nucleus and organelles. What conclusions can be made about the organism?
What is It is eukaryotic; likely belongs to Protista, Fungi, Plantae, or Animalia
An organism is eukaryotic, multicellular, and heterotrophic. What kingdom?
What is Animalia
Organism's in kingdom Protista have a nucleus but no membrane bound organelles? True or False
What is False; Protist have a nucleus and membrane bound organelles
A new organism is discovered that is multicellular, has a nucleus, and must consume other organisms for energy, but does NOT have cell walls.
What kingdom is it and how do you know?
What is Animalia; eukaryotic, heterotrophic, lacks cell walls
Double Explain how scientists would classify a newly discovered organism using at least two characteristics.
What is 2 traits
What is the difference between A common bacteria and an Archaea
What is Archaea can live in extreme environments
A new organism can both photosynthesize and consume other organisms. How should it be classified (kingdom) and why?
What is Protista; shows both autotrophic and heterotrophic traits
The birds Polioptila caerulea and Guiraea caerulea are similiar based on their scientific name what is not the same?
What is the Genus
You discover a unicellular organism with no nucleus that lives in soil and common environments (not extreme).
What kingdom is it and how do you know?
What is Eubacteria (Bacteria); prokaryotic and found in everyday environments
