Taxonomy

Question 1

Monera (kingdom) includes: 2 other kingdoms

Answer 1

• Archaea

- Eubacteria

Question 2

Compare and contrast Eubacteria and Archaea.

Answer 2

• Archaea:
• • prokaryotes
• • glycerol-ether lipids cell membranes
• • extremophiles
• Eubacteria:
• • prokaryotes
• • morphological appearances cocci, bacilli, spirilla etc
• • glycerol-ester lipid cell membranes
• • i.e. cyanobacteria (photosynthetic pigments)

Question 3

Protista: prokaryotic or eukaryotic?

Answer 3

Eukaryotes

- single celled, simple

Question 4

3 phyla of Protista

Answer 4

Protozoa, Algae, Slime Molds

Question 5

Protozoa

Answer 5

heterotrophic eukaryotes (protista)
rhizopods move like animals with pseudopods i.e. amoebas
locomotion

Question 6

Algae

Answer 6

photosynthetic eukaryotes (protista)
(note blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) is not the same! they are prokaryotic)
-phytoplankton, kelp

Question 7

Slime molds

Answer 7

eukaryotes (protista)
similar to fungi
- asexual reproduction - flagellated spores, fruiting bodies (unicellular)

Question 8

Fungi

Answer 8

…similar to plants except

• chitin instead of cellulose cell walls
• non-photosynthetic
• heterotrophs not autotrophs (can be saprophytic)
• asexual sporulation

Question 9

Plantae

Answer 9

• multicellular autotrophs
• non-motile
• photosynthetic

Question 10

Bryophytes

Answer 10

• simple plants with FEW specialized organs
• no xylem
• generation alters between gametophyte (dominant) and sporophyte
  i. e. mosses, liverwarts

Question 11

Tracheophytes

Answer 11

• vascular plants

- xylem and phloem

Question 12

A prokaryotic organism with flagella in hydrothermal vents is in which taxonomic category?

Answer 12

Archaea

Question 13

Which taxonomic group has extremophiles?

Answer 13

archaea

Question 14

Which group in Monera have flagella?

Answer 14

Archaea

Question 15

Cyanobacteria belongs to what taxonomic group?

Answer 15

eubacteria

Question 16

This organism is prokaryotic and has no organelles. What group is it?

Answer 16

eubacteria

Question 17

This single celled organism is eukaryotic. What taxonomic group is it?

Answer 17

protista

Question 18

Are protista heterotrophs or autotrophs?

Answer 18

Both

Question 19

What types of protista are heterotrophs?

Answer 19

eukaryotes with the ability to move like animals
therefore, Protozoa (protist- zoa)
cilliary movement and pseudopods

Question 20

What protists are autotrophs?

Answer 20

photosynthetic algae

i/e phytoplankton and kelp
