6.10 Part 1

1. The classification system developed by Linnaeus in the early 1700s divided living organisms into plant and animal kingdoms. Today, that has been expanded into five kingdoms. Which of the following inventions was most responsible for creating the need for the additional three kingdoms and why?

a) The internet allowed scientists to discuss differences between organisms easily.
b) Genetic engineering created new species which then needed new kingdoms.
c) Fossil fuel-based transportation made it easier to explore and discover new species.
d) Microscopes made it possible to learn more about single-celled organisms.

2. Which of the following categories contains the most species?

a) Order
b) Genus
c) Class
d) Phylum

3. Why might knowledge of the gene and protein sequences of a species be useful in classifying that species?

a) It would keep the species from being interbred with any other species that might appear physically similar to it.
b) It would make it possible to compare that species to other species at a level deeper than outward appearance.
c) It would allow more accurate naming of the species by basing names on genes rather than appearance.
d) It would prove that all the members of a given species were genetically identical to each other.

4. Which best explains why viruses are not classified by Linnaean taxonomy?

a) Viruses do not contain any genetic information or a cell wall.
b) Viruses share many characteristics with several of the kingdoms.
c) Viruses cannot reproduce outside a host cell and are therefore nonliving.
d) Viruses lack a protein coat and any metabolic activity.

5. If two different organisms have nuclei in their cells and have young that are produced from eggs, what else can be assumed about them based on their phylogeny?

a) They are members of the domain Archaea, but not necessarily members of the same kingdom.
b) They both belong to the same phylum, and possibly to the same species.
c) They both belong to the same class, but not necessarily to the same genus.
d) They are members of the domain Eukaryota, and possibly members of the same kingdom.

6. Which of the following correctly summarizes why Bacteria and Archaea are not in the same kingdom?

a) Their cell walls are created from different substances and Bacteria has an RNA polymerase that Archaea lacks.
b) Only Bacteria are both prokaryotic and single-celled organisms
c) Only Archaea have cell membranes made from straight chains of peptidoglycan.
d) Archaea are believed to be the ancestor of Bacteria and therefore cannot be in the same kingdom as Bacteria.

7. Among the Bacteria and Archaea, which process produces results that are most similar to the results of sexual reproduction in eukaryotes and why?

a) Binary fission, because it is used to produce identical daughter cells
b) Conjugation, because one cell trades genetic material directly with another cell
c) Transformation, because the cell picks up genes from its environment
d) Transduction, because genes are added to the cell through an intermediary

8. A pathogenic strain of bacteria has become resistant to an antibiotic that once could kill it. What has happened to these bacteria to make this happen? (2 points)

a) The bacterial cells learned to remove the receptors on their cell surfaces, making it impossible for the antibiotic to attack them.
b) Most of the bacteria make changes to their DNA to protect themselves, making themselves immune to future attacks.
c) Some of the bacterial cells were able to produce toxins against the antibiotics, making them more likely to survive.
d) Only the few bacteria that were immune to the antibiotic survived and reproduced, making all their offspring immune to it as well.

9. Why are amoebas more likely to use endocytosis than red algae?

a) Amoebas live in harsh environments and need to form endospores through endocytosis, while red algae rarely need to.
b) Reproduction in amoebas involves endocytosis, while reproduction in red algae involves spore formation.
c) The amoebas have to use endocytosis for photosynthesis while the red algae use pinocytosis during photosynthesis.
d) Endocytosis is the only way amoebas can bring food into their cells, while red algae can produce food by photosynthesis.

10. A hurricane tore holes in the roof of your house, allowing a good deal of moisture inside. Very quickly, mold began to grow because of it. What would be the most effective and ecologically friendly way of killing the mold and why?

a) Since mold is one of the immobile protists, releasing heterotrophic protists to act as predators would kill it.
b) Since mold is an autotrophic protist, depriving it of light would keep it from photosynthesizing, and it would die.
c) Since protists need moist environments in order to grow well, drying out the area would kill the mold.
d) Since protists need to move their flagella to gather food, spraying red tide toxins on the mold would paralyze and kill it.

The correct answers are as follows:
1. D.
Linnaeus was the scientist who developed the modern system of giving names to living organisms, this naming system is called binomial nomenclature. During  the time that this naming system was developed, scientists have not known anything about micro organisms, thus, Linnaeus divided the living organisms in to just two kingdoms, that is, plants and animal kingdom. It was later after the development of the microscope that scientists become aware of microbes. 
2. D.
Living organisms are divided into seven categories, which are: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species. The kingdom is the highest biological organisation and it contains the largest number of living organisms. The next level is phylum. The phylum category has many living organisms more than the levels that are below it. The species level has the least amount of living organisms.
3. B.
Before the advent of DNA sequencing, scientists typically classify animals based on similarity in their physical appearances. But, nowadays, the development of DNA sequencing has made it possible for scientists to compare animal on the basis of similarity in their genetic make up, due to the fact that related animals will be genetically identical.
4. C.
Viruses are peculiar micro organisms. Virus are considered to be non living things when they are outside of living cells. Outside the living cells viruses have all the properties of non living things. But, immediately a virus gets an entrance into a living cell, it becomes a living thing and start using the biochemical mechanisms of the host to survive and to multiply. Because of this dual nature, virus was not recognized in Linnaean taxonomy.
5. D.
The members of the domain Archaea do not have nucleus in their cells. All prokaryotes generally do not have true nucleus in their cells. The member of the domain eukaryota on the other hand have true nucleus in their cells. We are told in the question that the two organisms produce their young ones by laying egg, this implies that both organisms are possibly from the animal kingdom.
6. A.
Prokaryotes are divided into two classes: bacteria and archaea. The two classes has some basic differences between them,the difference include the folowing:
a. Bacteria cell wall is composed of peptidoglycan which is absent in the archaea cell wall.
b. Bacterial has only one ribosomal RNA polymerase while archaea has three ribosomal RNA polymerase. These RNA are different from one another.
7. B.
Eukaryotes typically reproduce by means of sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction involves donation of reproductive cells by the female and the male that are involved in the production process. A reproductive process that is similar to sexual reproduction in bacteria and archaea is conjugation. Conjugation involves the transfer of genetic material by mean of direct contact. It is a sexual mode in which sexually distinct cells are brought in contact with each other.
8. D.
Antibiotic resistance is said to occur, when an antibiotic drug can no longer kill or control the growth of bacteria as it has been doing before. When antibiotics are used, the bacterial that can resist the action of the antibiotic survive while the other ones are wiped out. This result in the natural selection of the bacterial strain that can resist the antibiotic drugs. Bacterial developed resistance through many mechanisms, these include genetic mutation and acquisition of resistance from other bacteria.
9. D.
Endocytosis is the process by which some unicellular organisms such as Amoeba move food molecules into their cells. Amoeba can not produce its own food, it therefore feed on already prepared food molecules. It transport the food molecules into its cell by enclosing and engulfing it. Red algae on the other hand are plants which can photosynthesize, that is, they can produce their own food by using the energy from the sun.
10. C.
Mold grow in the presence of moisture, they need moisture to survive and to reproduce. That is why they are found in moist places. The best thing to do in this instance is to dry out the moisture in the moist place. This will automatically leads to the death of the molds because they will be deprived of sustenance.
