| An example of a fungus that is usually found as a unicellular (single-celled) organism is _____. | yeast |
| Most protists are ______-celled organisms. | single-celled (unicellular) |
| Protists are considered to have ______ cells. | eukaryotic (because their cells have a nucleus in their cells that stores the DNA) |
| What is the major characteristic that all protists have in common? | They don't really have anything in common that makes them a protist. The reason they are classified as protists is that they don't really fit into any of the other kingdoms. |
| What is an example of a multicellular protist? | Seaweed or multicellular freshwater algae |
| Which feeding mode do members of the Protist kingdom employ? | Both. Some are heterotrophic (a.k.a. consumers) while others like algae are autotrophic (a.k.a. producers) |
This unicellular organism that has an obvious nucleus (to hold DNA) and chloroplasts (for conducting photosynthesis) would be in the ____ domain and the ____ kingdom.,  | It would be in the Eukarya domain because all members of this domain have a nucleus. It would be in the Protist kingdom because the only other Eukaryotic kingdom with some unicellular organisms is Fungus (yeasts are usually unicellular) but all fungus are heterotrophic (a.k.a. consumers) and therefore wouldn't have chloroplasts for conducting photoynthesis., |
| What are the three things that all fungi have in common? | They are consumers with cell walls and have eukaryotic cell structure., 
|
| What is the role of most fungi in nature? | Decomposers |
| Where do fungi digest their food? | Outside their bodies by secreting digestive enzymes onto their food |
| Where do heterotrophic prokaryotes digest their food? | Heterotrophic prokaryotes are commonly referred to as bacteria, belonging to either the eubacteria kingdom or the archaebacteria kingdom. Both digest their food outside their bodies by secreting digestive enzymes onto their food (just like fungi do) |
Which domain and which kingdom would this organism belong to?,  | Domain Eukarya and Kingdom Fungi, |
| What are the cell walls of fungi made of? | Chitin |
| What type of molecule is the cell wall of plants made of? | cellulose,
|
| What's the difference between prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells? | Eukayotic cells have a nucleus to store their DNA in. Prokaryotic cells are much smaller and do not have a nucleus. |
| What do all members of the animal kingdom have in common? | They are multicellular heterotrophs and their cells have no cell walls. |
| In which domain and in which kingdom would you find organisms that can live in extremely harsh conditions similar to those found when the Earth was first forming? | The domain is Archaea and the Kingdom is Archaebacteria. |
| What is the only kingdom found in the Bacteria domain? | Eubacteria |
| What is the main cellular difference between the Archaebacteria and the Eubacteria? | Eubacteria have cell walls with a molecule called peptidoglycan in them. The cell walls of archaebacteria do not. |
| Which four kingdoms are found in the domain called Eukarya? | Protists, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia |
| When writing a scientific name, what is capitalized and what font style is used? | Only the first letter of the genus name is capitalized. Italics are used for all letters. |
| The scientific name is composed of the organism's ______ name and _____ name. | genus and species name |
| Felis catus and Felis concolour belong to the same ____. | They belong to the same genus, but not species. Since they belong to the same genus, they automatically belong to the same family, order, class, phylum, kingdom and domain also. |
| Put the following terms in order from largest group to smallest as far as the number of species that belong to each: Class, Domain, Family, Genus, Kingdom, Order, Phylum, Species, | Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species (Remember the phrase, "Did King Phillips court order fresh grilled salmon?" |
| A genus is composed of a number of related ____. | species |
| An order is composed of a number of related ____. | families |
| A phylum is composed of a number of related ____.,
| classes |
| Cat is a _______ name that is different from country to country or language to language but Felis catus is a _______ name that is used by all scientists throughout the world. | common, scientific |
| What genus does Ursus maritimus belong in? | Ursus (the first part of a scientific name is always the name of the genus to which the organism belongs) |
| Homo sapien belongs to which species? | sapien (the second name of the scientific name is always the species name to which the organism belongs) |
| The animals Panthera leo (lion) and _____ tigris (tiger) belong to the same genus. | Panthera |
| What kind of analysis focuses on the order in which derived characters appeared in organisms? | cladistic analysis |
| In biology, an evolutionary innovation is also referred to as a | derived characteristic (for example, feathers were an evolutionary innovation that set feathered dinosaurs, a later, birds, apart from all other reptiles. Therefore feathers are a type of derived characteristic that today would only be seen in birds and not other animals) |
| What do scientists consider when they perform a cladistic analysis? | derived characteristics |
| A ____ is a diagram that shows evolutionary relationships based on derived characteristics. | cladogram |
| Similar genes and DNA are evidence of _____. | common ancestory |
| Scientists have found that even organisms as dissimilar as yeast and cows still have similar ____ for the assembly of certain key proteins. | genes (or DNA. Genes are made of DNA) |
| What does the presence of similar genes in very dissimilar organisms imply? | The two organisms once shared a common ancestor. |
| The more recently two different species shared a common ______, the more closely related they are. | ancestor |
The diagram pictured below is an example of a ___.,  | cladogram, |
