Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. This worksheet covers the characteristics and classification of organisms into the five kingdoms of life.
1. Which characteristic is unique to organisms in the Kingdom Fungi?
Possess cell walls made of cellulose
Are heterotrophic and absorb nutrients
Are motile and lack cell walls
Are prokaryotic and unicellular
2. Which of the following kingdoms primarily consists of multicellular, eukaryotic organisms that are autotrophic?
Animalia
Fungi
Plantae
Protista
3. Organisms in the Kingdom are typically unicellular and prokaryotic.
4. The primary mode of nutrition for organisms in the Kingdom Animalia is .
5. A key difference between Kingdom Plantae and Kingdom Fungi is that plants have cell walls made of , while fungi have cell walls made of .
6. All organisms in the Kingdom Protista are unicellular.
True
False
7. Fungi are considered producers because they obtain nutrients by absorbing decaying organic matter.
True
False
8. Briefly describe two key characteristics that distinguish organisms in the Kingdom Animalia from those in the Kingdom Plantae.
Match each kingdom with its primary characteristic.
9. Monera

12. Plantae
d. Multicellular, autotrophic by photosynthesis
13. Animalia
e. Heterotrophic by absorption, cell walls of chitin
14. Observe the image below, which represents a phylogenetic tree. Identify the three domains of life and briefly describe how the concept of domains differs from kingdoms in biological classification.
