Classification of Living Organisms

The video explores the classification of living organisms into five kingdoms: Plantae, Animalia, Fungi, Protista, and Monera. Initially, organisms were thought to be either plants or animals, but fungi, protists, and bacteria required additional categories. Fungi are decomposers with cell walls made of chitin. Protists include organisms like amoeba and algae, which don't fit into other categories. Monera consists of bacteria, which are unicellular and prokaryotic. The video concludes with a comparison of these kingdoms, highlighting differences in cellular structure and complexity.

What is the primary difference between plants and animals in terms of nutrition?

• Plants are heterotrophs, while animals are autotrophs.

• Plants are autotrophs, while animals are heterotrophs.

• Both plants and animals are autotrophs.

• Both plants and animals are heterotrophs.

Why can't mushrooms be classified under Animalia?

• They are autotrophs.

• They are unicellular.

• They perform photosynthesis.

• They have cell walls.

What is a unique feature of fungi cell walls?

• They are made of cellulose.

• They lack a cell wall.

• They are made of protein.

• They are made of chitin.

Which of the following is an example of a unicellular fungus?

• Yeast

• Mushroom

Why do amoeba not fit into the Animalia category?

• They are autotrophs.

• They are multicellular.

• They have cell walls.

• They are unicellular.

What characteristic is common among most Protista?

• They are multicellular.

• They are prokaryotic.

• They are decomposers.

• They are mostly unicellular.

What distinguishes Monera from Protista?

• Monera are autotrophic only.

• Monera are multicellular.

• Monera are eukaryotic.

• Monera are prokaryotic.

Which kingdom includes all bacteria?

• Monera

• Protista

• Animalia

• Fungi

Which kingdoms are entirely multicellular?
