18 Questions
What is binomial nomenclature?
A two-word naming system used in taxonomy, where the 1st word is the Genus name (ALWAYS capitalized) and the 2nd word is the species name (NOT capitalized).
List the taxonomic ranks in order.
Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
Distinguish between autotroph and heterotroph.
Autotrophs make their own food using energy from the sun, while heterotrophs obtain food by eating other organisms or their byproducts.
What are the three points that make up the basis of phylogeny?
Similar embryological development, homologous structures, and similar DNA.
How many domains are there and what are their names?
There are three domains: Bacteria, Archaea, Eukarya.
How many kingdoms are there and list their names?
There are six kingdoms: Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia.
Which kingdom contains unicellular and multi-cellular organisms?
Protista
Name one kingdom that consists of large multi-cellular organisms.
Animals
Which kingdom is commonly referred to as 'bacteria'?
Eubacteria
What is the mode of nutrition for autotrophic organisms?
Autotrophic organisms make their own food through processes like photosynthesis.
Which kingdom includes organisms that reproduce both asexually and sexually?
Animals
Explain why eubacteria and archaea are often difficult to distinguish.
Eubacteria and archaea are both unicellular prokaryotes with small size and lack of internal structure, making them hard to differentiate.
What is the main difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes in terms of the nucleus?
Prokaryotes lack a true nucleus, while eukaryotes have a true nucleus.
How are organelles organized in prokaryotes compared to eukaryotes?
In prokaryotes, organelles are not membrane-bound, while in eukaryotes, organelles are membrane-bound.
According to Carl Woese's classification, what are the three domains of life?
The three domains of life are Eubacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya.
How are the Eubacteria and Archaea domains related to Eukarya in the phylogenetic tree?
Archaea is more closely related to Eukarya than to Eubacteria.
How many kingdoms of life do taxonomists divide organisms into?
Taxonomists divide organisms into six kingdoms based on their characteristics and behavior.
Which domain includes the Eubacteria and Archaea Kingdoms, according to the classification system?
The Domain Eubacteria and Domain Archaea include the respective Eubacteria and Archaea Kingdoms.
Test your knowledge on cell types and kingdoms by answering questions about prokaryotes, eukaryotes, autotrophic nutrition, heterotrophic nutrition, asexual reproduction, and sexual reproduction. Learn about recognizable kingdoms like Animals, Plants, Fungi, Protista, Eubacteria, and Archaea.
