10 Questions
Match the following kingdoms with their classification in the text:
Kingdom Monera = Prokaryotes Kingdom Protista = Unicellular organisms Kingdom Fungi = Non-photosynthetic organisms Kingdom Plantae = Photosynthetic organisms
Match the following historical figures with their contribution to biological classification:
Aristotle = Used simple morphological characters for classification Linnaeus = Developed a Two Kingdom system of classification
Match the following terms with their description in the text:
Eukaryotes = Not distinguished in the Two Kingdom system Prokaryotes = Included in the Two Kingdom system Unicellular organisms = Not categorized in the Two Kingdom system Multicellular organisms = Not categorized in the Two Kingdom system
Match the following organisms with their classification issue in the Two Kingdom system:
Green algae = Not distinguished from non-photosynthetic organisms Fungi = Not distinguished from unicellular organisms Viruses, Viroids and Lichens = Did not fall into either plant or animal category
Match the following criteria with their use for early classification:
Morphological characters = Used by Aristotle for plant classification Presence of red blood = Used by Aristotle for animal classification Eukaryotic or prokaryotic nature = Not considered in early classifications Photosynthetic or non-photosynthetic nature = Not considered in early classifications
Match the following characteristics with their corresponding kingdoms in the Five Kingdom Classification:
Prokaryotic cell type = Monera Eukaryotic cell type = Protista Cell wall present with chitin = Fungi Autotrophic mode of nutrition = Plantae
Match the following modes of nutrition with their corresponding kingdoms in the Five Kingdom Classification:
Heterotrophic (Saprophytic/Parasitic) = Fungi Autotrophic (Photosynthetic) = Plantae Heterotrophic (Holozoic/Saprophytic) = Animalia Autotrophic (chemosynthetic and photosynthetic) = Monera
Match the following characteristics with their corresponding domains in the Three-Domain System:
Prokaryotic organisms = Domain Archaea Eukaryotic organisms = Domain Eukarya Eukaryotic organisms with a cell wall = Domain Eukarya Eukaryotic organisms without a cell wall = Domain Eukarya
Match the following organisms with their previous grouping under 'Plants' in earlier classification systems:
Bacteria = 'Plants' Blue green algae (cyanobacteria) = 'Plants' Ferns = 'Plants' Angiosperms = 'Plants'
Match the following criteria with the main criteria for classification used by R.H. Whittaker in the Five Kingdom Classification:
Cell structure = R.H. Whittaker's classification Body organisation = R.H. Whittaker's classification Mode of nutrition = R.H. Whittaker's classification Reproduction and phylogenetic relationships = R.H. Whittaker's classification
Study Notes
Classification of Organisms
