Step-by-step solution for: Six Kingdoms of Life Worksheet - WordMint
Let's solve each question from the worksheet "Six Kingdoms of Life" and match it with the correct answer from the list on the right. We'll go through each one step by step.
---
- Answer: F. Archaeabacteria
- Explanation: Archaea (or Archaeabacteria) are known for living in extreme environments such as hot springs, salt lakes, and deep-sea vents. They are extremophiles.
---
- Answer: J. Classification
- Explanation: Classification is the scientific process of organizing organisms into groups based on shared characteristics.
---
- Answer: O. Taxonomy
- Explanation: Taxonomy is the science of naming, defining, and classifying organisms.
---
- Answer: K. One that makes its own food
- Explanation: Autotrophs produce their own food using light, water, carbon dioxide, or other chemicals (e.g., plants via photosynthesis).
---
- Answer: N. Unicellular
- Explanation: Unicellular means having only one cell. Bacteria are examples of unicellular organisms.
---
- Answer: G. Asexual reproduction
- Explanation: Asexual reproduction involves one parent and results in genetically identical offspring (clones).
---
- Answer: B. heterotroph
- Explanation: Heterotrophs obtain energy by consuming other organisms because they cannot produce their own food.
---
- Answer: C. binomial nomenclature
- Explanation: Binomial nomenclature is the system where each species is given a two-part name: genus + species (e.g., *Homo sapiens*).
---
- Answer: D. Genus
- Explanation: In binomial nomenclature, the first word is the genus, and the second is the species.
---
- Answer: E. Kingdoms
- Explanation: The three domains (Bacteria, Archaea, Eukarya) are divided into kingdoms. For example, the domain Eukarya includes kingdoms like Plantae, Animalia, etc.
---
- Answer: I. Domain
- Explanation: In biological classification, the hierarchy goes from broadest to most specific: Domain → Kingdom → Phylum → Class → Order → Family → Genus → Species. So, Domain is the most general.
---
- Answer: H. Plantae
- Explanation: Chloroplasts are organelles used in photosynthesis. Organisms with chloroplasts (like plants) belong to the kingdom Plantae.
---
- Answer: M. Bacteria
- Explanation: Many bacteria have flagella for movement. While some protists and other organisms also have flagella, bacteria are a common example. Note: This question is a bit ambiguous since flagella exist in multiple kingdoms, but among the choices, M. Bacteria is the best fit.
---
- Answer: L. meters
- Explanation: Meters are the standard unit for measuring lengths like pools in the metric system.
---
- Answer: A. Heterotrophic
- Explanation: Heterotrophic refers to organisms that consume other organisms for energy. This is the same as "heterotroph" (B), but here we're looking for the adjective form, so A. Heterotrophic is correct.
> Note: Both A and B are related, but A. Heterotrophic is the adjective describing the organism, while B. heterotroph is the noun. Since the question asks “what do you call an organism...”, the term heterotroph might seem correct, but in this case, A. Heterotrophic is listed as the choice, and it fits grammatically as a descriptor. However, technically, B. heterotroph is the noun form.
But wait — let’s double-check:
- Question 15: *"What do you call an organism..."* → this asks for the name of the organism.
- So the correct answer should be B. heterotroph (the noun).
- But A. Heterotrophic is an adjective.
So there's a potential issue here.
Let’s reevaluate:
- A. Heterotrophic – adjective
- B. heterotroph – noun
The question says: *"What do you call an organism..."* → we need a noun.
So B. heterotroph is the correct answer.
But in the list, B. heterotroph is listed, and A. Heterotrophic is also listed.
Therefore:
- Question 15 → B. heterotroph
Wait! But earlier I said A. Heterotrophic — that was a mistake.
Let’s correct:
---
15. What do you call an organism that obtains its food from other organisms?
- Answer: B. heterotroph
- Explanation: The term for such an organism is a heterotroph (noun). "Heterotrophic" is the adjective form.
