Classification Study Guide

1. To what domain does the eubacteria kingdom belong? 2. Bacteria are what type of cell?  Prokaryotes 3. What type of cell does not contain a nucleus? Prokaryotes

4. Where do you find Eubacteria?  Everywhere 5. Are all eubacteria harmful?  No, some are helpful 6. To which domain does the Archeabacteria Kingdom belong? Archaea

7. How many cells do archeabacteria consist of?  one, unicelluar 8. Where do you find archeabacteria?  In extreme environments such as hot springs and salt lakes 9. What makes archeabacteria and eubacteria structurally different? Their cell membranes are made of different substances

10. What four kingdoms are found in the Eukarya Domain?  Plant, Animal, Fungi and Protists 11. What type of cells are eukaryotes?  Cells with a defined nucleus 12. What kingdom consists of unicellular and a few multi-cellular organisms? Protists

13. How are protists different from bacteria?  Protists are eukaryotic and bacteria are prokaryotic. 14. In what habitat can you find protists?  Moist environments such as rivers, lakes, and ponds 15. In what two ways are protists classified? By movement and how they obtain nutrition

16. What are the three types of protists?  plant like, animal like, and fungi like 17. Are plant cells eukaryote or prokaryotes, explain. Eukaryotes because all plant cells contain a nucleus.

18. What kingdoms in the eukarya domain are solely made up of multi-cellular organisms?  Plant and Animal 19. What is an autotroph and in which kingdom(s) do you find them? Plant kingdom, they make their own food.

20. What are the two major types of plants?  Vascular and non-vascular 21. Where do you find non-vascular plants? Why? Near water, because they do not contain the tissue needed to move water.

22. What are three examples of non-vascular plants?  mosses, liverworts, and hornworts 23. What characteristics make vascular plants able to grow tall? The tube like structure insides the plant

24. In which domain do you find the Kingdom Fungi?  Eukarya 25. How are fungi different from plants? They cannot make their own food

26. What is the habitat for fungi?  Fungi live on dead or decaying matter 27. What are the three types of fungi? Yeast, mushrooms and mold

28. What term is used to describe fungi?  Decomposers 29. How do fungi absorb food?  By absorbing in through hyphae 30. What are the tubes inside a mushroom called? hyphae

31. In which domain do you find the animal kingdom?  Eukarya 32. What is the term used to describe organisms that cannot make their own food? Consumers / Heterotrophs 33. What type of cells do animals consist of? Eukaryotic

34. The animal kingdom is made up of what percentage of invertebrates? 97%  35. What invertebrates look like brightly colored flowers and live in colonies? (not the phylum, just the animal names)  Coral and Anemones 36. What characteristics do arthropods share? Arthropods have segmented bodies and exoskeletons

37. What differences make up the two major classes of fish?  Skeletons, one class contains boney fish, the other cartilage fish 38. What class or vertebrates have a “double life”? Amphibian

39. Give an example of an amphibian  Frog, Toad, Salamander, Caecilian 40. Which reptiles lack legs? Snakes

41. What characteristics do mammals share? All mammals have hair, mammary glands, breath air, contain a four chambered heart and are endotherms. 42. What is the correct order of the levels of classification? Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, & Species. Did King Phillip Come Over For Grape Soda?

Students will choose one the following to answer on their test. DISCUSSION QUESTION: What are the characteristics of invertebrates? Give three examples and describe them. DISCUSSION QUESTION: Compare and contrast vascular and non-vascular plants (What are the differences and similarities between vascular and non-vascular plants?) DISCUSSION QUESTION: What characteristics do Class Aves (birds) organisms share? Also, give an example of a specific avian.
