Vocabulary
This is the science that names and classifies these organisms into different levels based on their shared traits.
Taxonomy
What is the difference between asexual vs sexual reproduction?
asexual reproduction requires one parent and results in identical offspring.
sexual reproduction requires two parents and results in genetically diverse offspring.
What domain does Archaebacteria belong to?
Domain Archea
What domain does Eubacteria belong to?
What is one main similarity between the Kingdoms Plante, Fungi, Animalia, and Protisa?
They are all Eukaryotic, part of the Eukarya domain.
This is the second largest grouping in organism classification.
Kingdoms
What is the main difference between Eukaryotic vs prokaryotic?
Eukaryotic cells contain a nucleus
Prokaryotic cells do not contain a nucleus
**Nucleus is a structure within a cell that contains the genetic material that controls many cell activities**
Is the Archaebacteria kingdom prokaryotic or eukaryotic?
Prokaryotic
Is the Eubacteria kingdom prokaryotic or eukaryotic?
Prokaryotic
This kingdom is Eukaryotic, Unicellular and multicellular and heterotrophic. It is important to the environment because it breaks down dead organisms and puts nutrients back into the soil
Kingdom Fungi
This moves through the environment and living things and helps keep nature balanced by recycling important materials.
Nutrient Cycling
What is the main difference between Unicellular vs multicellular?
Unicellular is made of one cell
Multicellular is made of more than one cell/ many cells
Where do Archaebacteria live?
Harsh or extreme environments
How does Eubacteria reproduce?
Asexually
This kingdom is Eukaryotic, multicellular and Heterotrophic. It is important to the environment because the secondary and tertiary consumers recycle matter back into the ecosystem, like Bees and Elephants.
Kingdom Animalia
This is the largest level of classification
Domains
What is the main difference between motile vs non motile ?
Motile means that an organism can move on its own.
Non-motile means that an organism cannot move by itself.
How does Archaebacteria reproduce?
Asexually
Is the Eubacteria kingdom unicellular or multicellular?
This kingdom is known as the junk drawer kingdom. It is Eukaryotic, unicellular and multicellular, autotrophic and heterotrophic. It is important to the environment because they are the primary producers and decomposers in ecosystems, such as fungus-like, animal- like and plant- like.
Kingdom Protista
This is the process of organizing living things into groups based on their similarities and differences
Classification
What is the main difference between Autotroph vs heterotroph?
Autotroph makes its own food.
Heterotroph gets food from another source.
What is the importance of Archaebacteria to the environment?
A) They help in the decomposition of organic matter.
B) They produce oxygen for other living organisms.
C) They can survive in extreme conditions, contributing to nutrient cycling.
D) They are a major source of food for larger animals.
C) They can survive in extreme conditions, contributing to nutrient cycling.
What is the importance of Eubacteria to the environment?
A) They produce energy through photosynthesis.
B) They are essential for breaking down waste and recycling nutrients.
C) They create habitats for larger organisms.
D) They are the main producers of food in the ocean.
B) They are essential for breaking down waste and recycling nutrients.
This kingdom is eukaryotic, multicellular, and autotrophic. It is important to the environment because it gives off the most oxygen and is a main energy source. What kingdom am I?
Kingdom Plantae
