Question | Answer |
Domain | -The highest rank of organisms in a biological taxonomy
-It divides all cellular life form into three groups.
Archaea
Bacteria
Eukarya |
Domain - Archaea | -Unicellular
-Prokaryotes – no nuclear membrane
-Found in extreme environments (Salty water Volcanic hot springs)
-Kingdom: Archaebacteria
-3 types...heat loving, salt loving, methane making |
Domain - Bacteria | -Found everywhere
-Unicellular
-Prokaryotes – no nucleus
Example: Streptococcus (the bacteria that causes strep throat)
-Kingdom: Eubacteria |
Domain - Eukarya | -Found everywhere
-Most of the world’s living things.
-Eukaryotes – cell has a nucleus
Example: Humans, a tree
Kingdom: Protista, Fungi, Animalia and Plantae |
Kingdom Eubacteria | -True bacteria
-Prokaryotic
-Unicellular
-Autotrophs and Heterotroph
-Spherical or rod-shaped
-Found in soil, rocks, oceans, snow and living organisms |
Kingdom Archaeabacteria | -Differs from other bacteria
-Prokaryotic
-Unicellular
-Autotroph and Heterotroph
-Found in hydrothermal vents |
Kingdom - Protista | -Cannot be classified as animal, plant or fungus.
-Eukaryotes
-Most are unicellular
-Autotroph and Heterotroph
Ex: (A)slime mold, (B)protozoa, (C)primitive algae |
Kingdom - Fungi | -Multicellular
-Eukaryotes
-Nongreen
-Reproduce with spores
-All heterotrophs – consumers--break down substances and absorb the nutrients
-Do not move
Ex: yeast (A), mushrooms (B), ringworm (C) |
Kingdom - Plantae | -Multicellular
-Eukaryotes
-Most live on land
-Autotrophs – producer, makes its own food
-Provides food for heterotrophs. |
Kingdom - Animalia | -Multicellular
-Eukaryotes
-Live everywhere
-Can move
-Respond to their environment
-Heterotrophs - consumers |

Spaghetti`. |
Annelids | Bilateral symmetry
Segmented bodies
Live in moist areas
Ex: Leaches and worms |
Chordates | Backbone
Bilateral symmetry
Have a digestive, circulatory and nervous system
Ex: humans, fish |
Arthropods | Segmented body
Exoskeleton
Invertebrate
Jointed Appendages
Ex: centipedes, spiders, crustaceans |
Echinoderm | Radial symmetry--mirror image
Invertebrate
Live in the ocean
Some have spiny skin
Ex: sea stars, sea urchins, sea cucumber |
Cnidaria | Radial symmetry
Aquatic organisms
Most have tentacles
Some have stinging cells
Only 1 digestive opening
No internal organs
Ex: Jellyfish |
Molluscs | Most have a shell
Invertebrate
Muscular foot and/or tentacles
Soft bodies
Not segmented
Ex: octopus, snails |

What are the names of the 3 domains? | Eukarya, Bacteria, and Archaea. |
What are the types of cells the 3 domains are? | Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes |
What kingdoms are Archaea-Prokaryotes? | Archaebacteria |
What kingdoms are Bacteria-Prokaryotes? | Eubacteria |
What kingdoms are Eukaryote-Eukaryotes? | Protista
Fungi
Animalia
Plantae |
How do animals, Plant, Protist, and Fungi get their food? | Heterotroph, photosynthesis Autotroph, Heterotroph autotroph, and Heterotroph. |
Which kingdom is has mostly unicellular cells? | Protists. |
How does fungi reproduce? | With spores. |
Which organisms belong in the phylum mollusca? | Organisms with shells, snails, clams. |
Which organisms belong in the phylum Cnidaria? | Jelly like animals, jellyfish |
Which organisms belong in the phylum Chordates? | Me, fish, birds. Organisms that can move, and are vertebrates. |
What does classify mean? | To sort something due to its characteristics. To simplify something. |
What is another name for “scientific name”? | Binomial nomenclature |
What is one difference between plants and animals? | Plants can make there own food (autotroph). Animals have to intake food (heterotroph). |
What does Autotroph mean? | Autotroph: Make their own food. |
What does Heterotroph mean? | Heterotroph: Get food from outside world. Breakdown food, and also take in nutrients. |
How do scientists classify organisms? | They use the Taxonomic hierarchy. |
What does vertebrate mean? | Definition: It means backbone and/or spine. |
Name a vertebrate animal and an invertebrate animal. | Snail, and birds. |
Plants are divided into what instead of phyla | Division, Non vascular and Vascular (Xylem and Phloem) |
Non Vascular characteristics | No true roots, stems or leaves
Reproduce with spores
Found in moist shady areas
Example: Moss |
Vascular Plants broken into... | Seed Plants or seedless plants |
Seedless Plants | Vascular tissue
No seeds...use spores to reproduce
Have stems, roots, and leaves
Grow in moist shady areas
Example: Ferns |
Seed Plants | Broken down into Gymnosperms and Angiosperms |
Gymnosperm Plants | Have exposed seeds |
Angiosperms Plants | Seeds are in fruit |
Gymnosperms--conifer trees Characteristics | Needle like leaves
Produce cones |
Angiosperms--fruit trees or plants Characteristics | Produce flowers
Form a fruit to protect the seed |
