What term would best be used to complete the Venn diagram above?
mobile
vertebrate
heterotrophic
unicellular
What characteristic could not be used to complete the Venn diagram above?
made of cells
contains DNA
uses ribosomes
has nuclei
Kingdom Eubacteria and Kingdom Archaea contain organisms which were once placed into the same kingdom. While biochemical analysis of their genomes and metabolisms shows that they are significantly different, they were once thought to belong to the same kingdom because they both -
maintain steady metabolisms
contain only prokaryotic organisms
construct proteins using ribosomes and mRNA
act as the main producers in forest biomes
Fungi were once thought to be a variety of plants. This was primarily because both plants and fungi contain organisms which are –
heterotrophic
prokaryotic
immobile
photosynthetic
Fish are animals and euglena are protists. One thing that a fish and euglena have in common is that they are both –
eukaryotic
autotrophic
chemosynthetic
vertebrate
A student is asked to compare the similarities and differences of plants, animals and fungi. What is one thing that the student might list as a unique characteristic of plants?
The ability to move freely
The use of ATP as an energy molecule
The use of DNA as its genetic material
The ability to make its own food
Unlike a tiger, a tree or a mushroom, a bacterium does not contain –
water
ribosomes
a nucleus
a cell membrane
An elephant and a mushroom are very different organisms, but they are similar in that both of these organisms –
can move large distances to find water
maintain homeostasis in their cells
obtain nutrients from their surroundings
have cell walls of chitin around each cell
Which of the following sets of kingdoms contains organisms which would be considered autotrophic and the producers in their respective food webs?
Protista and Fungi
Archaea and Animalia
Plantae and Protista
Animalia and Plantae
Which of the following sets of characteristics shown above are shared by members of both Kingdom Eubacteria and Kingdom Plantae?
I, III and IV
I, II and III
I, II and IV
II, III and IV
Which of these would you expect to find in the cells of both a horse and a bacterium?
nucleus
DNA
Golgi bodies
endoplasmic reticulum
While fungi and plants are both multicellular, immobile organisms, they are very different types of organisms. One of the primary differences is that unlike fungi, plants are able to –
perform photosyntesis
avoid being eaten by animals
maintain homeostasis
survive indefinitely without water
Kingdom Protista contains a wide variety of organisms. Some protists are compared to plants while others are more similar to animals. What is one thing that all of the members of Kingdom Protista have in common?
Lay eggs in order to reproduce
Ingest nutrients for all cellular energy
Perform photosynthesis
Made of one or more eukaryotic cells
Flagella are organelles which are found in both protists and bacteria.
A flagellum provides cells with the ability to be –
photosynthetic
motile
multicellular
ectothermic
Which of the following taxonomic groups would contain the most related group of fungi?
class
family
genus
species
Which of the following sets of organisms would be the least closely related?
Organisms in the same kingdom
Organisms in the same phylum
Organisms in the same species
Organisms in the same domain
Which of the following sets of vertebrates would contain the most closely related animals?
Vertebrates in the same family
Vertebrates in the same order
Vertebrates in the same class
Vertebrates in the same phylum
Which of the following groups contains organisms with the greatest degree of differences?
class
domain
phylum
kingdom
Which of the following taxonomic categories contains organisms with the greatest amount of genetic similarities?
kingdom
genus
order
class
