- Q1
Why did scientists come up with a classification system?
To make it more difficult to group organisms.
So they can find organisms more easily in the wild.
To show that there are only a few important groups of organisms.
To make it easier to group and study organisms and share information about them.

30s - Q9
You are given the following clues about an organism.
- The organism can perform photosynthesis.
- The organism is multicellular.
- The organism has a cell wall.
After reading the clues, you start to eliminate the kingdoms that you know this organism does not belong to. Which statement below is TRUE?
The organism is not in either of the bacteria kingdoms because bacteria are multicellular.
The organism cannot be a Protist because protists cannot perform photosynthesis.
The organism is not in kingdom Fungi because Fungi are heterotrophs.
The organism cannot be in kingdom Animalia because they have cell walls but cannot perform photosynthesis.
120s - Q10
What can you tell from an organism's scientific name?
The organism's Family and Genus
The organism's Family and Phylum
The organism's Genus and Species
The organism's Domain and Kingdom
45s - Q11
What is true of the organism in the picture based on the listed observations?
The organism is unicellular and is most likely in Kingdom Plantae.
The organism has feet-like structures and can move so it is most likely in Kingdom Plantae.
The organism is multicellular so it is most likely in Kingdom Protista.
The organism has a nucleus and is unicellular. It is most likely in Kingdom Protista.
120s - Q12
What does "autotrophic" mean and what is an example?
It means an organism is able to produce its own food. An example is an Oak tree.
It means an organism cannot produce its own food. An example is a mushroom.
