A

bacteria & archaea

18
Q

What types of organisms (by domain) have a nucleus?

A

eukarya

19
Q

What are the main differences between Bacteria & Archaea?

A

the chemistry between their cell walls & ribosomal RNAs

20
Q

What are the similarities between Bacteria & Archaea?

A

they are all unicellular & prokaryotic (no nucleus)

21
Q

What Kingdom of organisms are both unicellular and eukaryotic?

A

Protista

22
Q

What kingdom of organisms are both unicellular and prokaryotic?

A

Monera, of the bacteria & archaea domains

23
Q

Why do Fungi have their own kingdom, instead of being part of Plantae?
