| Question | Answer |
| Binomial Nomenclature | The naming culture (of different organisms) practiced uniformly across the world is known as binomial nomenclature. |
| T/F
Eukaryotes are complex in structure | True |
| Archea(Archeabacteria) | It comprises the bacteria that live in extreme environments. |
| Name the five kingdoms | Monera
Fungi
Plantae
Animalia
Protista |
| T/F
Prokaryotes reproduce asexually | True
Reproduction is asexual; basically mitosis type. |
| How many kingdoms are the 3 domains broken down into? | 5 |
| What are the three broad categories of the Domain? | Archea(Archeabacteria)
Eubacteria
Eukaryote |
| What two groups are cells fundamentally classified into? | Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes |
| What criteria are needed for writing the scientific name? | The first word, the genus, must begin with a capital letter. The second word, the species, must begin with a common letter. The name should be italicized or each must be underlined |
| Why is it important that living organisms have scientific names? | The vast numbers of living organisms must be named and arranged in an orderly manner so that biologists all over the world can be sure they know the exact organism that is being examined and discussed. |
| Describe the genome of Eukaryotes. | Eukaryotes’ Genome consists of numerous chromosomes. |
| Fungi | It is a group of eukaryotic organisms that comprises microorganisms such as yeasts, molds, and mushrooms. The organisms of this kingdom do not make their food, they are basically parasites. |
| What type of reproduction takes place in Eukaryotes? Asexual or sexual | Reproduction is sexual; by mitosis and meiosis |
| Why is classification important? | Groups of organisms must be defined by the selection of important characteristics, or shared traits, that make the members of each group similar to one another and unlike members of other groups. |
| The only taxon in which the biological characteristics are clearly identifiable is the ______. | Species |
| Which type of cells have no true nucleus and no membrane bound organelles? | Prokaryotes |
| Who developed the modern taxonomic system? | Swedish botanist Carolus (Carl) Linneaeus |
| Describe the structure of Eukaryotes. | Eukaryotes have nuclei and membrane-bound organelles. |
| Eukaryote | It comprises almost all the world's visible living things. |
| Taxonomy | Technique of classifying organisms.
It is made up of two words i.e. ‘Taxis,’ which means ‘arrangement’ and ‘Nomos,’ which means ‘method.’ |
| Plantae | All plants from smallest (such as algae) to the largest (such as Pine, Eucalyptus trees, etc.) are studied under this kingdom. |
| The lowest hierarchy level in biological classification is the _______. | Species |
| The red maple is also known as Acer rubrum...Its scientific name is _____. | Acer rubrum |
| Eubacteria | It comprises the bacteria that found in everyday life. |
| An organism that breaks down dead and dying organic matter, which it then absorbs, is in the kingdom ______. | Fungi |
| The science of classifying living organisms is called ______. | Taxonomy |
| Animalia | It includes all the multicellular and eukaryotic organisms (of animal group). It is also known as Metazoa. |
| A group of closely related genera is called ______. | Family |
| Monera | It comprises the unicellular organisms, e.g. bacteria. |
| List the hierarchy of taxa in order | Kingdom
Phylum
Class
Order
Family
Genus
Species |
| Nearly all single-celled eukaryotes that are either heterotrophic or photosynthetic belong to the kingdom ________. | Protista |
| Scientific names are _____ because they consist of 2 words. | Binomial |
| Protista | Similar to monera (unicellular), but more developed and complex. It contains nucleus. |
| What are the smallest and simplest types of cells? | Prokaryotes |
| Describe the genome of prokaryotes. | Prokaryotes’ Genome consists of single chromosome. |
| Scientific names are written in what language? | Latin |
| Explain how naming of organisms is done through binomial nomenclature | Consists of two words – the first word beginning with a capital letter and known as genus (of the organism) and the second word begins with lower case letter and defines the species of the organism. |
