organisms into a new one, consisting of how many kingdoms?
1. two
2. five
3. six correct
4. four
5. three
Explanation:
The kingdoms (in ascending order) are bacteria, archaea, protista, fungi, plantae, and
animalia.
Eukaryotic organisms are classified into a total of how many kingdoms?
1. one
2. three
3. two
4. six
5. four correct
Explanation:
The kingdoms (in ascending order) are Protista, fungi, plantae, and animalia.
Which of the following cannot be included inthe main categories of archaebacteria?
1. nitrogen fixers correct
2. All can be included.
3. extreme halophiles
4. methanogens
5. extreme thermophiles
Explanation:
Recall
Into which of the domains of life should a new organism be assigned, if it is multicellular
and anatrophic (autotrophic)?
1. Eukarya correct
2. Archaebacteria
3. Bacteria
4. Monera
5. Protista
Explanation:
Recall
Which kingdom does not contain eukaryotes?
1. fungi
2. planta
3. animalia
4. protista
5. archaebacteria correct
A package arrives with the following label: “Beware. This package contains a
eukaryotic, multicellular, nonmotile, nonphotosynthetic life form. Open with extreme
caution.”
To which kingdom of life could this life form belong?
1. Protista
2. Archaebacteria
3. Fungi correct
4. Animalia
5. Plantae
Explanation:
Archaebacteria are most likely to be found today in
I) hot sulfur springs;
II) the Dead Sea;
III) a small pond in the Tropical Rain Forest.
1. II only
2. I and III only
3. III only
4. I and II only correct
5. I only
6. II and III only
7. None of these
8. All of these
Explanation:
Archaebacteria are adapted for extreme conditions. The Dead Sea has extreme salinity
and hot sulfur springs have extreme temperatures.
