IV. _______________ is the science of identifying and classifying organisms according to certain rules. The taxa (classification categories from the broadest, most inclusive to the narrowest, most exclusive include: Domain, ____________, ______________, __________, ______________, _____________, ____________, species. There are three domains: ______________, ______________, and ___________________. Prokaryotes lack a true, membrane-bound ________________. Two domains consist of prokaryotic organisms: _____________ and _____________. So all bacteria are prokaryotic, the Archebacteria and the Eubacteria (“true” bacteria). Protists, fungi, ____________, and ___________ are all eukaryotic organisms.
V. Match each kingdom with its characteristics:
1. Animalia (the animals) a. multicellular; ingest food
2. Plantae (the plants) b. include plant-like algae, animal-like
protozoa, and fungal-like slime molds and
water molds
3. Protista c. multicellular; photosynthetic
4. Fungi d. include the “true bacteria;” ubiquitous
5. Bacteria (Eubacteria) e. include “extremophiles” that live at high
temperatures; may be more similar to eukaryotes than they are to eubacteria
6. Archaea (Archebacteria) f. include molds, mushrooms, and yeast;
ecologically important as decomposers
