Question 6

what the 5 kingdoms we used in our classification system:

Answer 6

Monera, Plantae, Fungi, Animalia, Protista

Question 7

If an organism is made up of several Eukaryotic cells and eats only dead organism to which organism does it belong to?

Answer 7

Fungi

Question 8

If an organism is made up of several Eukaryotic cells, it makes its own food and is made up of specialized structures to do specialized task, what cell do I belong to:

Answer 8

Plantae

Question 9

If an organism is made up of Prokaryotic cell and eats only dead organisms to which kingdom does it belong to:

Answer 9

Monera

Question 10

If an organism is made up of several Eukaryotic cells and makes its own food, to which kingdom does it belong to:

Answer 10

Protista

Question 11

If an organism is made up of one Eukaryotic cell and eats other living organisms, to which kingdom does it belong to:

Answer 11

Protista

Question 12

If an organism is made up of several Eukaryotic cells and eats only living plants to which kingdom does it belong to:

Answer 12

animaila

Question 13

why can a dehydrated food be stored for a long time without worry of it being contaminated by bacteria?

Answer 13

Bacteria must have water to survive, dehydrated food has almost all the water removed so it has almost no place to grow and reproduce.

Question 14

why did people salt meat before refrigeration was available?

Answer 14

Because the presents of salt reduces the growth and reproduction of bacteria.

Question 15

when you store food for a long time why does converting it reduce the amount of bacterial contamination

Answer 15

bacteria can be introduced onto food or liquid by dust particles in the air, covering the food keeps the dust particles off preventing the addition of new bacteria onto the food.

Question 16

a member of the kingdom Protista can move on its own, is it part of the protozoa or the algae

Answer 16

Protozoa

Question 17

are there any pathogenic organisms in the kingdom protisa

Answer 17

yes

Question 18

why are the decomposers essential to creation

Answer 18

Decomposer’s recycle the dead matter in creation, without them there would be no way that the materials in dead organisms could be used again by living organisms

Question 19

what is the main part of a mushroom: the cam the stalk the gills or the mycelium?

Answer 19

mycelium.

Question 20

icebergs are dangerous to ships because the visible part of an iceberg is actually very small, most of an iceberg is underwater where it cannot be seen how is a mushroom like an iceberg

Answer 20

like an iceberg, the visible part of a mushroom is actually a small part of the organism, most of the org lies unseen underground

Question 21

are all members of kingdom fungi made of many cells? If not, give an example of a single celled member of kingdom fungi

Answer 21

no, yeast is an example.

Question 22

a cell has a cell wall and a central vacuole is it prokaryotic cell, a plant cell, or an animal cell

Answer 22

plant cells

Question 23

what is turgor pressure

Answer 23

pressure inside of a plant cell that is caused by the central vacuole pushing the cell contents against the cell wall, it allows the plants to stand upright

Question 24

what kingdom are humans apart of?

Answer 24

Animalia! but we are VIP’s in this kingdom!
