Animalia
Cell Type: Prokaryotic v. Eukaryotic
1. What do eukaryotic cells have that prokaryotic cells do not? (Refer to your vocabulary
on the front of the kingdom chart.
Eukaryotic cells have an organized nucleus & organelles
2. Label the following cells as prokaryotic or eukaryotic.
Prokaryote
Eukaryotic
3. If the Kingdom has “bacteria” (Archaebacteria & Eubacteria) in the name, it has
prokaryotic cells. If it is any other kingdom (Protista, Fungi, Plantae,
Animalia), it has eukaryotic cells.
Cell Structures
Chitin, Cellulose, and peptidoglycan are all compounds that are found in the cell walls of
different groups of organisms. We can use these compounds to distinguish between the
members of different kingdoms.
4. We separate the two bacterial kingdoms (Archaebacteria & Eubacteria) by whether or
not their cell walls contain peptidoglycan. Which bacterial kingdom does NOT have
peptidoglycan in its cell walls? Archaebacteria
5. Which two kingdoms have members which have cellulose in their cell walls? These
are the same two kingdoms which have members with chloroplasts.
Protista & Plantae
6. Which kingdom has members which have chitin in their cell walls?
Fungi (Animalia in exoskeleton)
7. Which kingdom does not have any members with cell walls? (It’s members do NOT
have cell walls)?
Animalia
Cell Number: Unicellular or Multicellular
8. Members of the two bacteria kingdoms are always unicellular____.
9. Which two kingdoms have both multicellular AND unicellular members?
Protista & Fungi (yeast) (Plantae)
10. Which two kingdoms contain only multicellular members?
Animalia, Plantae
Mode of Nutrition: Autotroph or Heterotroph
11. Which 3 kingdoms contain autotrophic AND heterotrophic members?
Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, Protista
12. Which kingdom only has autotrophic members?
Plantae
13. Which 2 kingdoms have only heterotrophic members?
Fungi & Animalia
14. Heterotrophs
15. Heterotrophs
