Questions to answer:
1. Draw the overall phylogenetic tree shown in this presentation (you can use straight lines, if you
want). Label each branch.
2. Explain what qualifies a eukaryotic organism as belonging to each of the following kingdoms, and give an
example member of each kingdom:
a. Protista
b. Plantae
c. Fungi
d. Animalia
3. Why are seaweeds classified as protists even though they are multicellular?
4. Explain the advantage of each of the following adaptations seen in plants:
a. vascular tissue
b. seeds
c. pollen
d. flowers
e. fruit
5. Why is it thought that fungi are more closely related to animals than they are to plants?
6. Draw the overall phylogenetic tree shown for the invertebrates (you can use straight lines, if you
want). Label each branch.
7. Define and compare the following groups of terms
o radial symmetry vs. bilateral symmetry
o aceolomates vs. pseudocoelomates vs. coelomates
o protostomes vs. deuterostomes.
o diploblastic vs. triploblastic
8. Explain the advantage of cephalization in animals.
Things you should make sure you understand:
(feel free to ask questions about them in class)
