Kingdoms of Life

What is the Protist kingdom?

• A kingdom that can be single-celled or many-celled, plant-like or animal-like, and may eat food for energy or make their own food.

• A kingdom that consists only of multicellular organisms that photosynthesize.

• A kingdom that includes only prokaryotic organisms that reproduce asexually.

• A kingdom that is exclusively made up of fungi and decomposers.

What are the characteristics of Plants?

• Many-celled organisms that do not move around and make their own food for energy.

• Single-celled organisms that can move and consume other organisms for energy.

• Many-celled organisms that move around and rely on sunlight for energy.

• Single-celled organisms that do not move and make their own food for energy.

What is a defining feature of Fungi?

• They absorb nutrients from their surroundings and do not perform photosynthesis.

• They produce their own food through photosynthesis.

• They are primarily unicellular organisms.

• They reproduce only through binary fission.

What is photosynthesis?

• The process by which plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

• A method used by animals to breathe and obtain energy.

• The way in which plants absorb nutrients from the soil.

• A chemical reaction that occurs only in the dark.

Where can Archaebacteria typically be found?

• In the human gut

• Near hot sulfur springs and salty lakes.

• In the Arctic ice

• In freshwater rivers

What are some examples of single-celled organisms?

• Bacteria and some Protists.

• Fungi and some Algae.

• Mammals and Birds.

• Plants and Insects.

What kingdom do grass, trees, bushes, and ferns belong to?

• Animals

• Fungi

• Plants

• Bacteria

What is the significance of the kingdom Animalia?

• Organisms in this kingdom are unicellular and photosynthetic.

• Organisms in this kingdom are multicellular, consume organic material, and are capable of movement.

• Organisms in this kingdom are primarily aquatic and reproduce asexually.

• Organisms in this kingdom are all herbivorous and live in colonies.

What are the four main kingdoms of life?

• Animals, Plants, Fungi, and Bacteria.

• Animals, Plants, Fungi, and Protists.

• Mammals, Reptiles, Birds, and Amphibians.

• Insects, Arachnids, Crustaceans, and Mollusks.

How do Protists obtain energy?

• They exclusively make their own food through photosynthesis.

• They consume only plant material.

• They can either make their own food through photosynthesis or consume other organisms.

• They rely solely on chemosynthesis.
