How many cells does a unicellular organism have?
A unicellular organism has one cell.
Scientists group living things based on what?
Scientists group living things based on their characteristics.
Where can eubacteria live?
Eubacteria live almost everywhere on Earth.
How many kingdoms of living things are there?
***BONUS: Name all the kingdoms of life for 100 points.
There are six kingdoms.
*Bonus: archaebacteria, eubacteria, fungi, protists, plants, and animals.
Which group cannot make its own food: plants or animals?
Animals
Which type of cell has a nucleus: prokaryotic or eukaryotic?
Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus.
Which classification group is the largest: species or kingdom?
A kingdom is the largest group.
Which bacteria often live in extreme environments?
Archaebacteria often live in extreme environments.
Which kingdom includes mushrooms?
Mushrooms belong to the Fungi kingdom.
How do animals get energy?
Animals get energy by eating other organisms.
Explain one difference between unicellular and multicellular organisms.
Unicellular organisms have one cell, while multicellular organisms have many cells.
How is a scientific name formed?
A scientific name has two parts: the genus name and the species name.
How do some bacteria help other organisms?
Some bacteria help organisms break down food and get energy.
Which kingdom includes organisms that make their own food?
Plants make their own food, so they belong to the Plant kingdom.
Why can plants not move from place to place?
Plants cannot move because they are rooted in one place.
Why do multicellular organisms have specialized cells?
Multicellular organisms have specialized cells so different cells can do different jobs.
Why do scientists use classification systems?
Classification helps scientists organize living things and study similarities and differences.
Why were archaebacteria once grouped with eubacteria?
They look similar, so scientists first grouped them together.
How are plants and animals different in how they get energy?
Plants make their own food, but animals eat other organisms for energy.
How do plants respond to their environment?
Plants respond to light, touch, and gravity.
How does having a nucleus help a cell function better?
A nucleus stores genetic information and helps control cell activities, so the cell functions better.
Explain how classification helps scientists understand relationships among living things.
Classification helps scientists organize living things and study similarities and differences.
Compare how bacteria can be both helpful and harmful to humans.
Some bacteria help digestion or medicine, but others produce poisons and cause disease.
Explain how protists can act like plants, animals, or fungi.
Some protists make food like plants, some eat like animals, and some break down matter like fungi.
Compare producers, consumers, and decomposers and explain their roles in ecosystems.
Producers make food, consumers eat organisms, and decomposers break down dead material.
