| what are the levels of classification? | 1-kingdom
2- phylum
3-class
4-Order
5-family
6-genus
7- species |
| what is the scientific name for humans? | Homo sapiens |
| what are all the kingdom systems? | 1-Kingdom Archaebacteria
2- Kingdom Eubacteria
3- Kingdom Protista
4-kingdom fungi
5- Kingdom Plantae
6-Kingdom Animalia |
| kingdom archaebacteria characteristics? | A) Are unicellular prokaryotes and have cell membrane.
B) Some of Archaebacteria are Autotrophs, producing food by chemosynthesis
C) Many Archaebacteria live in harsh environment such as sulfurous hot spring and salty lakes.
D) Reproduced by Binary fission |
| kingdom eubacteria characteristics? | A) Are unicellular prokaryotes
B) Most eubacteria effect human life such as turn milk into yogurt and cause food poisoning.
C) Most eubacteria use oxygen and some live without oxygen.
D) Reproduced by Binary fission |
| kingdom protista characteristics? | A) Are eukaryotes, mostly single-celled organisms and some multicellular
