VOCAB
This is the branch of biology that names and organizes organisms by their shared traits.
taxonomy
This is the broadest classification group.
domain
This kingdom contains multicellular organisms that make their own food and have cell walls.
Plantae
These two kingdoms are both made of unicellular prokaryotes and reproduce asexually.
Archaebacteria and Eubacteria?
In Canis lupus, this is the genus.
Canis
An organism that makes its own food is called this.
autotroph
This is the most specific level of classification.
species
This kingdom contains organisms that are multicellular heterotrophs and consume their food.
Animalia
These two kingdoms are both usually multicellular, eukaryotic, and have cell walls.
Fungi and Plantae?
In Canis lupus, this is the species.
lupus
An organism that gets food from other organisms is called this.
heterotroph?
Name the three domains.
Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya?
This kingdom contains organisms that absorb nutrients from dead or decaying material and is a major decomposer.
Fungi
These two kingdoms are both eukaryotic, and both may contain heterotrophs that move.
Protista and Animalia?
In a scientific name, this word is capitalized and comes first.
genus
This term describes an organism made of only one cell.
unicellular?
Name the three characteristics used to group organisms into kingdoms.
cell type, cell number, and feeding type?
A one-celled organism with no nucleus living in extremely salty water would most likely belong to this kingdom.
Archaebacteria
Name the four kingdoms that contain only eukaryotic organisms.
Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia?
hich is correctly formatted: Felis catus or felis Catus?
Felis catus?
This two-part scientific naming system gives each organism a universal, unique name.
binomial nomenclature?
Put these in order from broadest to most specific: Species, Kingdom, Genus, Domain, Family, Phylum, Class, Order.
Domain → Kingdom → Phylum → Class → Order → Family → Genus → Species
A one-celled organism with no nucleus living in an animal intestine and helping with digestion would most likely belong to this kingdom.
Eubacteria
: This kingdom is entirely heterotrophic, absorbs nutrients, and has a cell wall; it differs from Plantae because it does not make its own food.
Fungi
Explain why scientists use binomial nomenclature.
: It gives each organism a universal, unique two-part name and helps scientists communicate clearly.
