Humans are a part of which domain? Explain why.
Humans are in the domain Eukarya because humans have a nucleus. All Eukaryotic cells contain a nucleus.
What characteristic do all cells share?
All cells come from pre-existing cells.
What are the 3 domains all living things divided into?
Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya
A organism is multicellular, autotrophic, has cell walls, cell nuclei, and can reproduce sexually & asexually. Which kingdom should this organism be classified?
Kingdom Plantae,
Need to know: All plants are autotrophic.
mode of reproduction with only one parent through budding or binary fission. Results in genetic clones of parent.
Asexual reproduction

basic unit
I am a mostly multicellular organism. I am a heterotroph. I absorb nutrients from dead & decaying things. Which domain do I belong to?
Eukarya
Which characteristics do organisms in the Fungi and Animalia kingdoms have in common?
Both are eukaryotic and heterotrophic.
Mode of reproduction with two parents that results in genetically diverse offspring.
Sexual reproduction
Is this organism prokaryotic or eukaryotic? Explain why.
Prokaryotic because it does not have a nucleus.
Cell theory states that all cells are composed of _____________.
Organisms are composed of 1 or more cells (have at least one cell).
I am a mostly unicellular organism. I can be a heterotroph or autotroph. I can reproduce sexually and asexually. I am a simple organism in the "odds & ends" kingdom. Which domain do I belong to?
Eukarya
Taylor was on a nature walk and discovered an organism she was not familiar with. She observed that the organism has a flat, shelf-like shape, and is attached to a dead log from which it obtains its nourishment. Using the table, which kingdom does the organism belong?
Fungi
a structure within a cell that contains the cell’s DNA and is responsible for providing instructions to the cell, regarding growth and reproduction
Nucleus
Is this organism prokaryotic or eukaryotic? Explain why.
Eukaryotic because it contains a nucleus
Which of the following are made of cells? Select ONE correct answer.
Plant
I am a unicellular organism. I do not contain a nucleus. I reproduce asexually. I can either be autotrophic or a heterotrophic. I am all around you. What domain do I belong to?
Bacteria
While on a hike with friends, Julie noticed a tree that had mushrooms growing on it. What domain of life is represented by the tree and the mushroom? Explain why.
Eukarya, because the tree and mushroom have eukaryotic cells (contain a nucleus).
organisms, known as producers in a food chain, capable of synthesizing their own food by a process known as photosynthesis; all plants and some forms of bacteria and other organisms
Autotrophs
What do prokaryotic & eukaryotic cells have in common? How are they different?
Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells both have genetic material.
Pro means no = no nucleus
Eu means do = Have a nucleus
Which of the following is made of cells? Select ONE correct answer.
Coral
