Classification Study Guide

• 1. To what domain does the eubacteria kingdom belong?

• Bacteria• 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.
