Eukarya, Bacteria, Archaea
100
What Kingdom includes unicellular organisms that can live in extreme environments?
Archaea
100
What Kingdom includes organisms that are all multicellular and undergo photosynthesis?
Plantae
100
Explain the difference between a unicellular and a multicellular organism.
Unicellular- made up of one cell
Multicellular- made up of many cells
200
Carolus Linnaeus developed what naming system which gives each organism a two-word scientific name?
Binomial Nomenclature
200
What domain would animals and plants be found in?
Eukarya
200
Mushrooms, Molds, Mildew, and Yeast would be found in which kingdom?
Fungi
200
What kingdom includes organisms that are prokaryotic, unicellular and include examples such as streptococcus, staphylococcus, salmonella, and e. coli.
Bacteria
200
Explain the difference between autotrophs and heterotrophs.
Autotrophs- make their own food (photosynthesis)
Heterotrophs- rely and get their food from other living things
300
Give one reason why is it important that every living thing has its own scientific name using the classification system
It makes communication about living things more effective
It avoids the possibility of making mistakes
Scientific names seldom change
Scientific names are used worldwide
300
What domain are protists be classified in?
Eukarya
300
What are three characteristics of organisms in Kingdom Animalia?
Multicellular
Eukaryotic
Heterotrophs (Consumers)
Ability to Move
300
What are the four kingdoms found in domain eukarya?
Kingdom Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, and Protista
300
What is an organism that breaks down dead plants and animals to obtain nutrients called?
Decomposer
400
Why does the number of organisms in each classification group decrease going from domain down to species
because each classification group becomes more specific since it is based on more characteristics.
400
What is one difference between domain eukarya and bacteria?
Eukarya contains all eukaryotic organisms whereas Bacteria contains all prokaryotic organisms
Eukarya contain mostly multicellular organisms and bacteria are strictly unicellular
400
What are the two kingdoms which include only unicellular organisms that are prokaryotic?
Bacteria and Archaea
400
which kingdom of organisms can be eukaryotic, unicelluar, and live in moist environments?
Protista
400
What is the difference between a prokaryotic and eukaryotic organism?
Prokaryotic- lack a nucleus and other organelles
(more simplistic)
Eukaryotic- Have a nucleus and other organelles
(more complex)
500
What are the 8 classification groups of living things starting from most broad to most specific.
Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
500
What are two characteristics in which organisms in domain bacteria and archaea share?
What are four characteristics of organisms from kingdom plantae?
Eukaryotic
Multicellular
Autotrophs
Have a cell wall and chloroplasts
Undergo Photosynthesis
500
Class Question:
What are two similarities and two differences between kingdom animalia and plantae?
Similarities: Multicellular, Eukaryotic
Differences: Animals are heterotrophs, Plants are autotrophs
Animals can move, Plants cannot move
