Answer 1

1. Monera
2. Protista
3. Fungi
4. Plantae
5. Animalia
6. Archaebacteria

Question 2

Answer 2

Prokaryotes
e.g bacteria, cyanobacteria, blue-green algae, spirochetes

Question 3

What organisms are in the kingdom Protista?

Answer 3

Eukaryotic single-celled microorganisms
e.g Protozoa, diatoms, slime molds

Question 4

Answer 4

Molds, mushrooms, and yeasts - heterotrophic, multi-celled

Question 5

What organisms are in the kingdom Plantae?

Answer 5

‘true’ plants e.g red, brown, and green algae, bryophytes and vascular plants. Photosynthetic, autotrophic, multi-celled

Question 6

Answer 6

Multicellular organisms. Ingestive, heterotrophic

Question 7

Anaerobic, methane-producing microorganisms

Question 8

Answer 8

3.4 BYA

Question 9

How long ago did eukarya emerge?

Answer 9

2 BYA

Question 10

How long ago did metazoans emerge?

Answer 10

(animals, multicellular): 875-650 MYA

Question 11

Give 2 potential reasons for the cambrain explosion (there are many more)

Answer 11

Ecological e.g increased Oxygen
→ critical level of o2 allowed bigger/complex animals = predators
Evolution of the eye
→ predators/prey, mating displays = more diversity

Question 12

What are 2 physical factors important in the evolution of animals?

Answer 12

• Changes in climate
• Continental drift
