A. They are multicellular organisms.

B. They depend on other organisms for their energy.

C. They can move on their own.

D. Their cells contain cell walls and nuclei.

A. Fungi B. Protista C. Eubacteria D. Archaebacteria

6. Which of the following statements identifies a difference between eubacteria and protists?

A. Eubacteria are unicellular, but protists are multicellular.

B. Eubacteria are heterotrophs, but protists are autotrophs.

C. Eubacteria do not have a nucleus, but protists do.

D. Eubacteria can move, but protists cannot.

7. Which kingdom includes organisms that reproduce by spreading spores?

8. Match each kingdom on the left with a characteristic on the right.

|Kingdom |Characteristic |

|Archaebacteria |Single-celled organisms that contain a nucleus |

|Eubacteria |Multicellular heterotrophs with no cell walls |

|Protista |Unicellular prokaryotes that can live in salty places |

|Fungi |Multi-celled producers |

|Plantae |Prokaryotes that live inside your body |

|Animalia |Decomposers with nuclei and many cells |

9. Fill in all the blank spaces in the table below for three of the six kingdoms.

|Characteristics |Kingdom Name |

| | |Protista | |

|Cell number |Multicellular | | |

|Cell type | | | |

|Do their cells have nuclei?| | |Yes |

|How do they get energy? |Produce food from sunlight |Some are autotrophs; some are heterotrophs |Eat other organisms |

10. The genus Euglena is part of the kingdom Protista. Euglena can either make their own food through photosynthesis, or they can eat other organisms. They move around using flagella. Fill in the Venn Diagram below comparing Euglena to Homo sapiens (human beings), which are in the kingdom Animalia.

Euglena Homo sapiens

11. Which kingdom contains an organism with all of the characteristics listed below? Using complete sentences, explain how you know it is NOT in each of the other five kingdoms.

Organism Characteristics:

• is eukaryotic

• has cell walls

• is multicellular

• does not depend on other organisms for nutrition

12. Look at the table below, which shows characteristics of two unknown organisms. In which kingdom does organism X belong, and in which kingdom does organism Y belong? Using complete sentences, explain how you know that they belong in these kingdom, and not in one of the other five kingdoms.

|Organism |Characteristics |

| |Nucleus |Cell wall |Chloroplasts |Consumer |Multicellular |

|X |Yes |Yes |No |No |Yes |

|Y |Yes |No |No |Yes |Yes |

13. Look at the chart below, which lists characteristics of two unknown organisms.

|Organism 1 |Organism 2 |

| |Unicellular |

|Contains chlorophyll |Can only get food by consuming other organisms |

|Can make food from sunlight using photosynthesis |Eukaryotic |

|Made of one cell |Able to move around using pseudopods |

|Has a nucleus |Does not contain chlorophyll |

|Able to move on its own | |

Christian and Antineshia are arguing over which kingdoms these organisms should be classified in. Christian says that the two organisms should be classified in different kingdoms. Antineshia says that both organisms belong in the same kingdom. Who is correct? Explain how you reached your conclusion, using specific information provided in the table and what you know about the different kingdoms.

14. Deonte is conducting a scientific investigation of organisms that live in the Dead Sea. He predicts that he will find multi-celled eukaryotic organisms living in the Dead Sea. Do you think his prediction is correct? If his prediction is incorrect, explain what kinds of organisms you think he’ll find instead, and what characteristics those organisms will have.
