| Gradually, the numbers of kingdoms increased as more information became available. What are the current 6 kingdoms used by scientists? | See figure 18-11: Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, & Animalia. |
| What new taxonomic system has been created? | It is Domain. Instead of 6 kingdoms, there are 3 main divisions. |
| What are the 3 Domains? | Eukarya, Bacteria, and Archaea. |
| What composes the domain Eukarya? | protists, fungi, plants, and animals |
| What is in the domain Bacteria? | It corresponds to the kingdom Eubacteria. |
| What does the domain Archaea correspond to in the Kingdom category? | Archaebacteria. |
| What are the characteristics of the members of domain Bacteria? | unicellular; prokaryotic; thick, rigid cell walss surrounding a cell membrane; peptidoglycan is in the cell walls; the bacteria range from free-living soil organisms to deadly parasites. Some photosynthesize; others do not; some need oxygen to survive, while others are killed by oxygen.l |
| What are characteristics of the domain Archaea? | Unicellular, prokaryotic; they live in extreme environments (volcanic hot springs, brine pools, black organic mud without oxygen. Their cell membranes contain unusual lipids not found in any other organism. |
| What is the most common characteristic of domain Eukarya? | They are organisms that have a nucleus. |
| What 4 Kingdoms correspond to the domain Eukarya? | Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia (see pg. 459-461). |
| Which Kingdom consists of heterotrophs that secrete digestive enzymes into their food source and asbsorb smaller food molecules into their bodies? | Fungi |
| Which kingdom displays the greatest variety among its members? | Protista |
| Which kingdom's members are multicellular photosynthetic autotrophs? | Plantae |
| Which kingdom's members are multicellular heterotrophs? | Animalia |
