(Also called protoctists)

Question 6

List 5 facts about plantae

Answer 6

• multicellular (made of many cells)
• cells have a nucleus
• contain chloroplasts (carry out photosynthesis). They are autotrophic.
• cellulose walls
• stores carbohydrates as starch and sucrose

Question 7

Give at least one example of a plantae

Answer 7

• flowering plants such as a cereal (e.g. Maize)

- herbaceous legume (e.g. peas or beans)

Question 8

Give 6 facts about Animalia

Answer 8

• multicellular (made of many cells)
• cells have a nucleus
• NO chloroplasts (DO NOT carry out photosynthesis). They are heterotrophic.
• NO cell walls
• have nervous control (ability to move)
• store carbohydrates as glycogen

Question 9

Give at least one example of animalia

Answer 9

• mammals (e.g. humans)

- insects (e.g. housefly and mosquito)

Question 10

Give 6 facts about fungi

Answer 10

• multicellular and unicellular
• NO chloroplasts (DO NOT carry out photosynthesis)
• feed by saprotrophic nutrition (extra cellular secretion of digestive enzymes onto food material and absorption of the products)
• body is organised into a mycelium made from thread-like structures called hyphae, which contain many nuclei.
• cell walls made of chitin (NOT cellulose)
• may store carbohydrates as glycogen

Question 11

Give at least one example of fungi

Answer 11

• mucor which has a typical fungal hyphal structure

- yeast which is single celled

Question 12

Give 5 facts about prokaryotae (pro-carry-o-Tay)

Answer 12

• unicellular and microscopic
• have a cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm
• no nucleus but contain circular DNA
• some have additional circular DNA called plasmids
• some can carry out photosynthesis - most feed on dead organisms (decomposers)

Question 13

Give at least one example of prokaryotae

Answer 13

• lactobacillus bulgaricus, a rod shaped bacteria used in production of yogurt
• pneumococcus, bacterium that causes pneumonia

Question 14

Give 2 facts about protoctista’s

Answer 14

• dustbin kingdom they are a mixed group of organisms that do not fit anywhere
• generally microscopic single-celled organisms (but some forms of algae are multicellular like seaweed)

Question 15

Give at least one example of protoctista

Answer 15

• amoeba that live in pond water, have features like an animal cell
• chlorella have chloroplasts and are more like plants
• plasmodium is responsible for causing malaria
