Answer 11

Animals and Fungi

Question 12

What do plants use for storage?

Answer 12

Starch (Carbohydrate)

Question 13

What do animals use for storage?

Answer 13

Glycogen (Carbohydrate)

Question 14

What are prokaryotic/bacterial cell wall made of?

Answer 14

Peptidoglycan

Question 15

What is the type of nutrition in fungi?

Answer 15

Saprotrophic

Question 16

Which of the 5 kingdoms have eukaryotic cells?

Answer 16

• Animal
• Plant
• Fungi
• Protoctista

Question 17

Which of the 5 kingdoms have prokaryotic cells?

Answer 17

Bacteria

Question 18

What is the definition of a eukaryotic cell?

Answer 18

A cell with membrane bound organelles - especially a proper nucleus

Question 19

Which kingdoms contain only multi-cellular organisms?

Answer 19

Plants and animals

Question 20

What is autotrophic nutrition?

Answer 20

Making your own food - e.g. photosynthesis

Question 21

What is heterotrophic nutrition?

Answer 21

Eating other organisms for food

Question 22

What is saprophytic nutrition?

Answer 22

Eating only dead things

Question 23

Which kingdom is made up of only saprophytic organisms?

Answer 23

Fungi

Question 24

Explain why a virus is not considered to be a living organism?

Answer 24

They do not respire, therefore they are not living cells but are made by living cells

Question 25

What is a pathogen?

Answer 25

An organism (or virus) that makes you ill - causes disease

Question 26

Where is DNA found in prokaryotic cells?

Answer 26

In the cytoplasm - no nucleus. Bacterial cells have 1 large circular chromosome and smaller circles of DNA called plasmids.

Question 27

What is the name of the protective layer outside of bacterial cell walls?

Answer 27

Capsule

Question 28

Some species (not all) of bacteria have a kind of ‘tail’ that helps them to move. What is this structure called?

Answer 28

Flagellum

Question 29

What effect does Tobacco Mosaic Virus have on leaves?

Answer 29

Causes brown patches by stopping chlorophyll production

Question 30

Green algae are single celled autotrophs with cells that look very similar to plants. Why are they categorised as protoctista and not as plants by biologists?

Answer 30

Because they are not multi-cellular

Question 31

Why are the protoctista so varied?

Answer 31

Any single celled eukaryotic organism that doesn’t fit into the other kingdoms is called a protoctista. Therefore, different species have many of the characteristics of other kingdoms.

Question 32

Which kingdoms store carbohydrates as glycogen?

Answer 32

All Animals and Fungi and some species of Protoctista.

Question 33

What does MRS C GREN stand for?

Answer 33

- Move - Respire - Sensitive - Control - Grow - Reproduce - Excrete - Nutrition

Question 34

What are the common feature/characteristics of plants?

Answer 34

- Multicellular - Contain chloroplasts - Able to carry out photosynthesis - Cellulose cell wall - Store carbohydrates as starch or sucrose

Question 35

What are common features/characteristics of animals?

Answer 35

- Multicellular - Don’t contain chlorophyll so cannot carry out photosynthesis - No cell wall - Usually have nervous coordination and are able to move from place to place - Often store carbohydrates as glycogen

Question 36

What are the common features/characteristics in fungi?

Answer 36

- Body organised in mycelium (but some are single celled) - Not able to carry out photosynthesis - Cell walls made of chitin - Saprotrophic nutrition(extracellular secretion of digestive enzymes on to food material and the absorption of organic products) - May store carbohydrates as glycogen

Question 37

What are the common features/characteristics of bacteria?

Answer 37

- Microscopic single celled organisms - Simple cell structure with no nucleus but a single circular chromosome of DNA - Most feed on other living or dead organisms but some can carry out photosynthesis - They have a cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm and plasmids

Question 38

What are the common features/characteristics of viruses?

Answer 38

- Small particles (smaller than bacteria) - Parasitic and can only reproduce inside living cells - No cellular structure but a protein coat and contains one type of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA)

Question 39

What are the levels of organisation within an organism?

Answer 39

Cells, tissues, organs, organ systems

Question 40

What can pathogens be in the form of?

Answer 40

Viruses, bacteria, unicellular, multicellular eukaryotes
