The chart shows the characteristics of organisms that are found in three domains.
Characteristic Domain A Domain B Domain C
Single celled Some Yes No
Cell wall No Yes Yes
Nuclear membrane No No Yes
Ribosomes Yes No Yes
Membrane-bound organelles No No Yes
Based on the information in the chart, which statement BEST describes Domain C?
a
Domain C represents the Eukarya domain because only eukaryotic cells have cell walls.
b
Domain C represents the Bacteria domain because bacterial cells are always multi-cellular.
c
Domain C represents the Eukarya domain because eukaryotic cells contain nuclear membranes.
d
Domain C represents the Bacteria domain because bacterial cells contain membrane-bound organelles.
Question 2
Based on their names, one can tell that the baboons Papio annubis and Papio cynocephalus do NOT belong to the same
a
class.
b
genus.
c
family.
d
species.
Question 3
Charlotte created a table with characteristics of the modern classification system for her science project.
Kingdom Type of Cell Number of Cells
Archaebacteria eukaryotic unicellular
Eubacteria prokaryotic unicellular
Protista eukaryotic unicellular and multicellular
Fungi eukaryotic unicellular and multicellular
Plantae eukaryotic multicellular
Animalia eukaryotic multicellular
Charlotte did not get a good grade on her science project. Which describes the mistake she made on her table?
a
Organisms found in the kingdom Protista are only unicellular.
b
Organisms found in the kingdom Animalia are prokaryotic.
c
Organisms found in the kingdom Archaebacteria are prokaryotic.
d
Organisms found in the kingdom Eubacteria are multicellular.
Question 4
Read the passage "Scientific Names" in the box.
SCIENTIFIC NAMES
Long ago, when humans first started to name organisms, every group of people had a different name for the same living thing. Many years later, scientists fixed this problem by giving every living thing a scientific name that would be known worldwide. For example, in English we call a certain bird a "bald eagle." In Spanish, the same bird is called "águila calva." However, scientists around the world know the bird by its scientific name: Haliaeetus leucocephalus.
Why is assigning scientific names to living things important?
a
It helps scientists identify the same living thing, even in a different language.
b
It helps identify where the living thing was first found in the world.
c
It prevents scientists from using the same organisms to replicate experiments.
d
It stops the use of common names like "bald eagle" and "águila calva."
Question 5
Amanda learns that some species of algae share the characteristics of being single-celled and producing sugar by photosynthesis. These species of algae fall into the category of which of the following kingdoms?
a
Animalia
b
Fungi
c
Eubacteria
d
Protista
d
Protista
