and salt lakes
• 9. What makes archeabacteria and eubacteria
structurally 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.

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

life”?
• Amphibian
•
•
•
•
39. Give an example of an amphibian
Frog, Toad, Salamander, Caecilian

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.
