Question 0

Six kingdoms of life

Answer 0

1) eubacteria
2) Archaeabacteria
3) protista
4) fungi
5) plantae
6) animalia

Question 1

What is the use of a dichotomous key?

Answer 1

• to identify organisms in the field

- utilizes observable characteristics

Question 2

How are the 6 kingdoms related on a phylogenetic tree?

Answer 2

1) eubacteria evolved first
2) archaea next–> than eukarya
- more closely related
3) then protists
- less advanced than other kingdoms
4) then plantae (autotrophs)
5) then fungi and animalia (heterotrophs)

Question 3

What are basic defining characteristics of each kingdom?

Answer 3

• heterotroph/autotroph
• unicellular/multicellular
• reproduction

Question 4

7 levels of classification

Answer 4

1) kingdom
2) phylum
3) class
4) order
5) family
6) genus
7) species

Question 5

Domain taxon

Answer 5

• more inclusive

- less specific

Question 6

separating monera

Answer 6

• bacteria and archaea much too different to be kept in the same kingdom
  
  • archaea more closely related to eukarya
    
    • coding introns
    • diff amino acids and lipids to bacteria
    • lacks peptidoglycan
    • live in extreme environments

Question 7

Archaeabacteria

Answer 7

• very closely related to eukarya
  
  • have coding introns
  • lack paptidoglycan
  • food source for many diff organisms in extreme environments
