What are the two parts of a scientific name?

• domain and kingdom

• phylum and genus

• genus and species

• class and order

This animal's scientific name is Llama glama. To which genus does it belong?

• Llama

• glama

• animalia

• chordata

Cells that have NO nucleus are

• eukaryotic

• prokaryotic

• multicellular

• autotrophs

Both Domain Archaea and Domain Bacteria contain organisms that are single-celled and prokaryotic. But Archaea are in their own domain because

• • 
    

    Archaea are eukaryotic

• Archaea have the same kind of cell wall as Bacteria

• Archaea live in mainly EXTREME places and have a different cell wall and genetic make up as Bacteria

• • 
    

    Archaea have the same genetic code as Bacteria and the same cell wall composition

A newly discovered single-celled organism was found living in 113°C water near an ocean vent. The organism is autotrophic and requires sulfur, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide. Scientists most likely classified this organism as a type of Archaea because many organisms within Archaea —

• • 
    

    produce sugars by photosynthesis

• can survive in extreme environments

• contain chitin in their cell walls

• are able to reproduce by binary fission
