Match the following characteristics with the correct biological kingdom:

Multicellular, move with cilia or flagella = Animalia Acquire nutrients by absorption = Fungi Organelles including chloroplasts and cell walls = Plantae Mostly single-celled, may have chloroplasts = Protists

Match the following reproductive methods with the correct biological kingdom:

Asexual reproduction through binary fission = Protists Reproduce by means of spores or binary fission = Fungi Reproduce sexually by the fusion of gametes = Plantae Sexual reproduction observed rarely = Protists

Match the following plant habitat types with their descriptions:

Plants that live in moderate temperature = Mesophyll Plants that live in scarce water supply and dry conditions = Xerophytes Aquatic or water plants that live in extreme water conditions = Hydrophytes Plants that grow in salt or saline soils = Halophytes

Match the following characteristics with the correct kingdom:

Single-celled organisms, may or may not move, no nucleus = Monera Single-celled organisms, move by cilia, flagella, or amoeboid mechanisms = Protista Absorb nutrients through cell wall or produce their own by photosynthesis = Monera Have a visible feeding mechanism and usually no cell wall = Protista Signup and view all the answers

Match the following kingdoms with their classification based on the presence of nuclei and membrane-bounded organelles:

Prokaryotic cells without nuclei and membrane-bounded organelles = Monera Eukaryotic cells with nuclei and membrane-bounded organelles = Protista Cells with no chloroplasts or other organelles = Monera Cells that usually move by cilia, flagella, or amoeboid mechanisms = Protista Signup and view all the answers

Match the following kingdoms with their examples of organisms:

True bacteria (eubacteria), Archeobacteria, cyanobacteria (Blue-green algae) = Monera Fungus = Plantae Animals = Animalia Algae = Protista Signup and view all the answers

Match the following characteristics with the correct kingdom based on size and DNA structure:

Usually very tiny, smaller circular molecules of DNA called plasmids = Monera Larger organisms = Animalia Individuals have a cell wall and no chloroplasts or other organelles = Monera Individuals usually move by cilia, flagella, or amoeboid mechanisms = Protista Signup and view all the answers

Match the following kingdoms with their method of reproduction:

Reproduction by binary fission = Monera Reproduction by spores or budding = Fungi Reproduction by sexual and asexual methods = Protista Reproduction by fertilization and development of embryos = Animalia Signup and view all the answers

What are the key characteristics of organisms in the kingdom Monera?

Single-celled, may or may not move, have a cell wall, have no chloroplasts or other organelles, and have no nucleus Signup and view all the answers

How do organisms in the kingdom Monera obtain nutrients?

They absorb nutrients through the cell wall or produce their own by photosynthesis Signup and view all the answers

What are the five kingdoms used to classify living organisms?

<ol> <li>Monera (prokaryotes) 2) Protista (Eukaryotes) 3) Fungi (fungus , Eukaryotes) 4) Plantae (plants , Eukaryotes) 5) Animalia (animals , Eukaryotes)</li> </ol> Signup and view all the answers

What are the key differences between plant-like protists and animal-like protists?

Plant-like protists acquire nutrients by photosynthesis, while animal-like protists acquire nutrients by ingestion of other organisms. Signup and view all the answers

How do fungi acquire nutrients, and what distinguishes them from plant-like protists and animal-like protists?

Fungi acquire nutrients by absorption from decaying material. Unlike plant-like protists, they do not perform photosynthesis, and unlike animal-like protists, they have no mechanisms for locomotion. Signup and view all the answers

Describe the reproductive methods of plant-like protists, fungi, and plants.

Plant-like protists may reproduce asexually through binary fission, or sexually. Fungi reproduce by means of spores or binary fission, and also through sexual reproduction. Plants reproduce sexually by the fusion of gametes, and rarely reproduce vegetatively. Signup and view all the answers

What are the distinguishing characteristics of the Kingdom Animalia, and how do they acquire nutrients?

Animals are multicellular, move with the aid of cilia, flagella, or muscular organs, have organelles including a nucleus but no chloroplasts or cell walls, and acquire nutrients by ingestion. Signup and view all the answers

Explain the differences between the branches of botany, Plant Morphology, and Plant Anatomy.

Plant Morphology deals with the external features and structure of different plant organs, while Plant Anatomy focuses on the internal structure of plant bodies. Signup and view all the answers
