Compare the main difference between the plant kingdom and the animal kingdom.

Plants perform photosynthesis, animals do not

Plants can move, animals cannot

Animals have cell walls, plants do not

Animals are unicellular, plants are multicellular

Explain why scientists use taxonomy when studying new organisms.

To make it easier to name and group organisms based on shared characteristics

To make organisms look more interesting

To increase the number of species

Which of the following best describes the animal kingdom?

Organisms that are multicellular, lack cell walls, and are usually able to move

Organisms that are unicellular and have cell walls made of cellulose

Organisms that perform photosynthesis and have chitin in their cell walls

Organisms that live only in water

If you were to classify a mushroom, which kingdom would it belong to and why?

Fungi kingdom, because it absorbs nutrients and has chitin in its cell walls

Plant kingdom, because it is green

Animal kingdom, because it moves

Protist kingdom, because it is unicellular

Which of the following statements best explains the relationship between the bacteria and archaea domains?

Both are prokaryotic, but they have different genetic and biochemical characteristics

Both are eukaryotic and multicellular

Why might scientists need to revise the taxonomic system over time?

Because new information and discoveries can change our understanding of relationships among organisms

Which of the following is a reason why the protist kingdom is considered diverse?

It includes both unicellular and multicellular organisms

If you were given a group of organisms, what evidence would you use to determine which taxonomic group they belong to?

Their physical characteristics and genetic information

Which of the following is true about the plant kingdom?

Members are multicellular and perform photosynthesis

Members are unicellular and lack cell walls

Members absorb nutrients from other organisms

Members are only found in the ocean

What is a key difference between the fungi kingdom and the plant kingdom?

Fungi absorb nutrients, while plants make their own food through photosynthesis

Fungi are always unicellular, plants are always multicellular

Fungi have cell walls made of cellulose, plants have cell walls made of chitin

How does the taxonomic system help scientists communicate about organisms?

By providing a universal system for naming and classifying organisms

By making organisms look more interesting

By changing the color of organisms

By making organisms grow faster

Which of the following is a characteristic of the animal kingdom?

Multicellular and lack cell walls

Unicellular and have cell walls

Absorb nutrients from other organisms

If you were to create a new classification for an organism, what steps would you take using the taxonomic system?

Observe its characteristics, compare with known groups, and use evidence to place it in the correct group

Name it after your favorite color

Which of the following kingdoms or domains includes only prokaryotic organisms?

Bacteria domain and Archaea domain

Plant kingdom and Animal kingdom

Fungi kingdom and Protist kingdom

Animal kingdom and Protist kingdom

Why is it important to compare similarities and differences when classifying organisms?

To accurately group organisms and understand their relationships

To make them look more interesting

Which of the following best describes the main purpose of taxonomy?

To organize and classify living things based on shared characteristics

What is the correct hierarchical order of taxonomic classification from broadest to most specific?

Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species

Genus, Species, Family, Order, Class, Phylum, Kingdom, Domain

Kingdom, Domain, Class, Phylum, Order, Family, Genus, Species

Species, Genus, Family, Order, Class, Phylum, Kingdom, Domain
