7. 8. Explain the differences between a kingdom and a species.
A kingdom is the largest level while species is the smallest level.
A kingdom is made up of the largest number of organisms while a species contains the smallest number.
A kingdom consists of organisms that are not very similar to each other while a species consists of organisms that are most similar to each other.

8. 9. This kingdom’s characteristics are very simple

WHAT KINGDOM AM I?
Animal

10. WHAT KINGDOM AM I? Eubacteria
11. This kingdom’s characteristics include being unicellular, prokaryotic, and both heterotrophic and autotrophic. They are found in things like yogurt, cheese, and in the throats of people with strept throat.
WHAT KINGDOM AM I?
Eubacteria

11. 12. This kingdom’s characteristics include being eukaryotic, heterotrophic, and most being multicellular. Most of these organisms live on land, and include molds, mildews, and mushrooms as species.

worms
fungi
bacteria
protists 4

d. An example is algae. c

19. a 20. The kingdom that contains prokaryotes is Eubacteria b. Protista
c. Fungi
d. Plants
e. All of these a

20. 21. The level of classification that consists of organisms that are most closely related is
Kingdom
Phylum
Genus
Species d

21. 22. Which kingdom consists of organisms in which its genetic information is found in the cytoplasm?
Fungi
Archaebacteria
Protist
Plant b

22. 23. Organisms classified within my kingdom get their food by feeding off of dead, decaying matter. Most species in my group are more than one cell big. Upon close examination, all of our cells have a nucleus inside to protect our chromosomes.
WHAT KINGDOM AM I?
Fungi

23. WHAT KINGDOM AM I? Eubacteria
24. Under a microscope, I am only one cell big. Some species in my kingdom can produce their own food, while others cannot. None of the living things in my group have nuclei in the middle of their cells. We are used in producing many of your favorite foods, but some of us can also cause you to get very sick.
WHAT KINGDOM AM I?
Eubacteria

24. WHAT KINGDOM AM I? Animal
25. My kingdom is full of organisms that are made up of many cells. Each of our cells have their own nuclei. We cannot make our own food, and must get our nourishment from outside sources to stay alive.
WHAT KINGDOM AM I?
Animal

25. WHAT KINGDOM AM I? Archaebacteria
26. I am only one cell big. When you look at me under the microscope, I am missing a major part called the nucleus. My nickname is “ancient,” although my kingdom was just created by scientists in recent years. I am capable of living in very extreme conditions.
WHAT KINGDOM AM I?
Archaebacteria

26. 27. Our kingdom of living things is unique because we can all make our own food inside of our cells. When you look at our cells under a microscope, you can see that we have nuclei. All of the organisms in my group are more than one cell big, and are the basis of every food chain on Earth.
WHAT KINGDOM AM I?
Plant

27. WHAT KINGDOM AM I? Protist
28. While most of the organisms in my kingdom are only one cell big. All of us have our own nuclei. When it comes to food, some of us have to hunt while others can make their own.
WHAT KINGDOM AM I?
Protist
