Classification into the Five Kingdoms

What is the main feature of organisms within the Prokaryota kingdom?

• Most are unicellular and have cell walls not made of cellulose.

• They have a nucleus and mitochondria.

• They are primarily multicellular eukaryotes.

• All are autotrophic and photosynthetic.

Which kingdom includes bacteria and blue-green bacteria?

• Plantae

• Fungi

• Prokaryota

• Animalia

What is a characteristic feature of the cells of fungi?

• Possess non-cellulose cell walls

• Possess chloroplasts for photosynthesis

• Cells divide by binary fission

• Cell walls often made of cellulose

Which kingdom's members are all eukaryotic and show great diversity in structure, life cycle, and feeding?

• Prokaryota

• Animalia

• Fungi

• Protoctista

How do fungi obtain their energy and carbon?

• By photosynthesis

• Digesting dead/decaying matter extracellularly or from being parasites

• By synthesizing organic compounds from inorganic compounds

• Through binary fission

What is a typical feature of plant cells?

• Possess non-cellulose cell walls

• Cells have no nucleus

• Cell walls composed of cellulose

• No cell walls

Which of the following is not a characteristic of animal cells?

• Possess chloroplasts

• Are able to differentiate into many different specialized cell types

• Have no cell walls

• Have small temporary vacuoles

What distinguishes the cells of the Protoctista kingdom?

• All are heterotrophic and feed by decomposing organic materials.

• Cells divide by mitosis.

• Cells can be similar to animal cells or plant cells.

• All cells have a cell wall made of chitin.

Which kingdom's organisms are primarily autotrophs?

• Plantae

• Animalia

• Protoctista

• Fungi

How do members of the Fungi kingdom reproduce?

• Through photosynthesis

• By binary fission

• Using spores that disperse onto the ground nearby

• Through budding
