Answers
1
Which of the following describes the MOST significant role of fungi in nature?
produce oxygen
create energy
decompose matter
capture nitrogen from the air
2
Why would scientists want to use a taxonomic system that is standardized?
In order to place organisms in different groups
So that Latin names can be applied for a practical purpose
Because Linnaeus established the system
In order to avoid confusion with the ID of organisms
3
Which kingdom contains organisms that have cell walls of chitin and cannot photosynthesize?
fungi
plantae
animalia
protista
4
How are plants and protists similar?
both contain only unicellular organisms
both groups contain autotrophs
both groups are prokaryotic
both have cell membranes, but no cell wall
5
One characteristic that fungi and plants have in common is --
heterotrophic
multicellular
mobile
prokaryotic
6
An organism that has stringlike hyphae, spores and lacks chlorophyll is most likely
plant
animal
fungi
protist
7
Methanogens, thermophiles, and halophiles thrive in harsh environments. They are ---
fungi
protista
eubacteria
archaebacteria
8
In which of the following Kingdoms would an organism not have a cell wall?
plant
fungi
archaebacteria
animal
9
The branch of science that identifies and categorizes organisms
microbiology
taxonomy
pathology
nomenclature
10
Which characteristic applies to all organisms in the kingdom protista?
unicellular
photosynthetic
eukaryote
prokaryote
11
The organisms Felis catus and Felis silvestris do not belong to the same
species
family
class
genus
12
Which of the following characteristics describes Kingdom Animalia?
multicellular hetrotrophs
cells contain a cell wall
unicellular
multicellular autotrophs
13
What are the advantages of having a universal naming system for organisms?
The same organism name can be recognized in all countries
Because latin is the widely accepted language in science
Viruses scientific name can be applied to disease
The scientific name does not address habitat
14
Which kingdom consists of mainly multicellular producers?
plant
animal
fungi
protist
15
An organism that is autotrophic, with membrane-bound organelles is most likely--
eubacteria
animalia
protista
archaebacteria
16
Similarity at which of these levels indicates the closest relationship?
Kingdom
Class
Genus
Order
17
What factors do the kingdoms Protista, Plantae, Fungi and Animalia have in common?
They are all prokaryotes
They are all photosynthetic organisms
They are all eukaryotes
They are all multicellular organisms
18
Why is it best for scientists to use the name from the standardized taxonomic system?
Communication with other scientists will be reduced
The standardized name differentiates organisms
All scientists will be using one name for an organism
The standardized name is less descriptive of the organism
19
Which of these arthropods are most closely related?
Arthropods of the same family
Arthropods of the same genus
Arthropods of the same class
Arthropods of the same species
20
All bacteria
have cell walls containing cellulose
are eukaryotes
are multicellular heterotrophs
have cell walls and no nuclei
21
An organism described as single-celled, no nucleus, with a cell wall is most likely --
animal
plant
protist
bacteria
22
Which statement best describes members of the plant kingdom?
Unicellular, simple, autotrophic
Unicellular/multicellular, autotrophic
Multicellular, autotrophic
Unicellular/multicellular, heterotrophic
