kingdom Archaebacteria?

Answer 2

unicellular (extremely small), Prokaryotic (no nucleus or membrane-bound organelles), live in very harsh environments: methanogens, halophiles, and thermophiles, they share common characteristics with more advanced, multicellular organisms.

Question 4

kingdom Protista?

Answer 4

Eukaryotic (larger than bacteria), contain nucleus membrane-bound organelles, live in a variety of environments. catch-all group for eukaryotes which don’t fit into other categories, include plant-like, animal like and fungi like organisms.

Question 5

Answer 5

multicolour eukaryotes, heterotrophic (must consume other organisms for food), lack motility, cell walls made of chitin.

Question 6

kingdom Plantae?

Answer 6

multicellular eukaryotes, Autotrophic (make their own food using photosynthesis), non-motile (most), cell walls made of cellulose.

Question 7

kingdom Animalia?

Answer 7

multicellular eukaryotes, heterotrophic (must eat other organisms for food), motile (some only in certain life stages), lack cell walls.

Question 8

domain?

Answer 8

the largest taxonomic category, three domains: bacteria (eubacteria), archaea (archaebacteria), eukarya (Animalia, Protista, plantae, fungi).

Question 9

The three domains are?

Answer 9

Bacteria, archea, eurkarya
