BrainPop Biology Watch the video to answer the following questions. BrainPop It! Click the link above. :) What were the first two categories that all organisms were sorted into? Fungi Eubacteria Archaebacteria Plants Protists Animals Where can you find Eubacteria? Living organisms Air Water Everywhere (all of the above) Do Eubacteria have a nucleus? Yes No What makes a fungi different than a plant? Fungi are prokaryotic. Fungi do not make their own food. Fungi have nuclei in their cells. Fungi can be found in nature. Read It! Which cellular process is used by autotrophs to produce food? Cellular Respiration Chemical Energy Photosynthesis Heterotrophs Which category of organisms depends on the other to survive? Autotrophs depend on heterotrophs Heterotrophs depend on autotrophs What is the ultimate source of all energy moving between living organisms? Sunlight Plants Animals Bacteria Which organism is not an autotroph? Tree Mrs. Peterman Algae Bacteria Which is true about autotrophs? Autotrophs automatically catch their own food. Autotrophs include all organisms in the Animalia kingdom. Autotrophs hunt for food. Autotrophs make their own food through photosynthesis. Infer It! Use the information in the picture above to help you fill in the missing words. Organisms can be divided in many different ways. One of the most basic ways is how many cells they are composed of. All organisms fall into one of two categories: unicellular or multi-cellular.Unicellular organisms are very small and only need to perform basic functions. They contain both kingdoms that are prokayotic and protists, which are sometimes eukaryotic. The word stem "uni" means one, therefore we can infer that these organisms are only made of one, single cell.Multi-cellular organisms are much more complex and are all made out of eukaryotic cells. The cells in multi-cellular organisms need to perform different functions based on where they are located in the organism. Multi-cellular organisms require cells that can be differentiated, which means similar cells can be modified to perform specific functions throughout the body. Plants and animals are the kingdoms that are multi-cellular.The kingdom fungi is special, because it contains organisms that are both uni- and multi-cellular. The typical mushrooms you are familiar with are multi-cellular, while other fungi such as yeast are unicellular. Watch It! Watch the video to help you answer the following questions. How many parents are involved in sexual reproduction? 0 1 2 How many parents are involved in asexual reproduction? 0 1 2 What percentage of DNA is passed to an offspring in asexual reproduction? 0% 25% 50% 75% 100% Summary of Reproduction in Kingdoms Summarize information you have learned into the chart below. Kingdom Name Single Celled or Multi-Cellular? Prokaryotic or Eukaryotic? Autotrophic or Heterotrophic? Sexual or Asexual Reproduction? Examples Archaebacteria Single Prokaryotic Autotroph Asexual Bacteria that live in extreme heat and chemicals. Euacteria Single Prokaryotic Autotroph Asexual Bacteria that live in our digestive track. Protista Single Eukaryotic Both Auto Hetero Both Sexual and Asexual The miscellaneous category containing amoebas, algae, and paramecium. Fungi Multi Eukaryotic Heterotroph Both Sexual and Asexual Mushrooms and yeast. Plants Multi Eukaryotic Autotroph Both Sexual and Asexual Trees, grasses, and flowers. Animals Multi Eukaryotic Heterotroph Sexual Lions, tigers, and bears.
