What is species?
True or False: Fungi is one of the two domains for prokaryotes.
False!!
What do we call organisms that make their own food, like plants?
What are autotrophs?
Which kingdom includes organisms like animals and humans?
What is animalia?
This is the highest level of classification for living organisms, dividing them into three groups: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya.
What is a domain?
What do we call a group of animals that are very similar, like dogs and wolves?
What is genus?
Which domain includes organisms that live in really hot or salty places (extreme environments)?
What is Archaea?
What is the process called when plants make their own food using sunlight?
What is photosynthesis?
Which kingdom contains organisms that are autotrophs and have cell walls made of cellulose?
What is plantae?
Let’s TEST your knowledge. What are the five kingdoms?

What do we call organisms that have a nucleus in their cells?
What are eukaryotes?
What group includes animals like dogs, cats, and bears because they share similar traits?
What is order?
Which domain includes organisms that have a nucleus and can be unicellular or multicellular?
What is Eukarya?

What is mushrooms?
Which kingdom includes both multicellular organisms like trees and unicellular organisms like algae?
What is Plantae?
This domain is the largest and includes all organisms with cells that have a nucleus, including plants, animals, fungi, and protists.
