Question 2

cell structure

Answer 2

eubacteria: prokaryotic (gram -/+), unicellular

Archaea: prokaryotes with rigid cell walls, unicellular

protista: eukaryotic, mostly unicellular

fungi: eukaryotes, mostly multicellular with chitin cell wall

Question 3

method of reproduction

Answer 3

eubacteria: asexual reproduction via binary fission (conjugate dna)

archaea: binary/multiple fission, fragmentation, and budding (see more on archaea flashcards) PRIMARY: BINARY

protista: asexual binary fission

fungi: (asexual) fragmentation, fission, and budding, and (sexual) spores
