What 2 characteristics do scientist look at when classifying things. Give an example of each.

Physical-skeletal (bone) structure

Chemical-DNA (genetic material

300
Why do scientists organize living things into groups?
To make the organisms easier to study.
300
Organisms that CANNOT make their own food are called ________.
heterotrophs
300

What are 2 characteristics of organisms in the Protista Kingdom?

They can be multicellular or unicellular and autotrophic or heterotrophic. Most are unicellular and autotrophic.

What is the only Kingdom an autotrophic, unicellular organism can fit into? Give an example of one of these organisms.

Protista, eg Algae

400
Are mushrooms, mold and yeast bacteria? Do they fit into Domain Bacteria?

No they are fungi and fit into Domain Eukarya.

Pyrolobus fumarii is a prokaryotic organism that lives in thermal vents (at temperatures of over 110 C).

What Domain, Genus and Species do they fit into?

Domain: Archaea

Genus: Pyrolobus

Species: Fumarji


500

How are organisms in Domain Archaea and Bacteria similar and how are they different? Give one reason for each.

Similar-both prokaryotic (or unicellular, or neither have a nucleus)

Different-Archaea live in extreme/harsh environments.

Bacteria live in 'normal' environments.

500

How are organisms in Kingdoms Fungi and Animalia similar and different? Give one reason for each?

Similar: Both Eukaryotic, both have a nucleus, both are always heterotrophic

Different: All animalia are multicellular but some fungi are Multicellular and others unicellular

They reproduce differently.

500

How are organisms in the Kingdom Protista similar and different to organisms in the Kingdom Plantae?

Similar: Both Eukaryotic, both have Nuclei

Different: Plants always multicellular and autotrophic, Protista can be unicellular and heterotrophic. They reproduce differently.
