QUESTIONNAIRE: THE FIVE KINGDOMS
MONERA KINGDOM
1.
Which of the following characteristics apply to bacteria?
a.
They are present everywhere.
b.
They are multicellular.
c.
They reproduce through binary fission.
d. Some have chlorophyll.
e.
2.
They have nucleus.
Bacteria reproduce extremely quickly through
binary fission. Under optimal conditions, they
can grow and divide every half hour.
a.
Based on the data of the diagram, how
many bacteria would there be after one
hour?
4
b.
And after an hour and a half?
c.
Is it possible to continue this
8
reproduction rate indefinitely? Why?
No, because not always the conditions
are optimal.
3.
Draw a bacteria and label it.
4.
Do you think that all bacteria are harmful
for humans? Give examples.
No, many of them are beneficial for us, for example: yogurt bacteria or bacteria that live in our
intestine and help us to digest the food and produce vitamins (intestinal flora).
PROTISTA KINGDOM
5.
Which of the following characteristics refer to protozoa?
a.
They have prokaryotic cells.
b.
They consist of a single cell.
c.
They form spores.
d. They have chloroplasts.
6.
e.
They are heterotrophs.
f.
They live attached to a substrate.
How are algae and plants alike? Why are not algae included in the Plant kingdom?
Both are autotrophs, but algae can be unicellular whereas plants not (only multicellular).
7.
Indicate through a schema the different groups we can find in both protozoa and algae.
Trypanosome
Protozoa
Vorticella
Amoeba
8.
Green
Algae
Red
Brown
A group of scientists has collected data on the amount of oxygen released by algae in a pond. Data
was collected for two days. The results are shown in the following graph:
Analyse the results and explain the reason for the amount of oxygen released over the two days.
The more light there is, more photosynthesis they do, so more oxygen they produce.
FUNGI KINGDOM
9.
Why do you think fungi are not include in the Plant kingdom?
Because they are not autotrophs.

Both are heterotrophs.

bacteria?
Antibiotics

Descomposers
Fungi
Symbiotics
Parasites

c.
During pollination, pollen grains travel from the anther to the stigma.
d. A fertilized ovule develops into a fruit.
e.
All flowering plants produce fruits.
f.
Gymnosperms don’t have flowers.
g.
Spores and seeds have the same function.
h.
Ferns and mosses are heterotrophs and produce spores.

2.
Sepal
3.
Petal
4.
Stigma
5.
Style
6.
Ovule
7.
Filament
8.
Anther
16. How are ferns and mosses alike and how are they different?
Similarities: Ferns and mosses are both plants without flowers and seeds. They reproduce by spores.
Differences: Mosses are not vascular plants, they don’t have real leaves, stems and roots whereas ferns
do.
17. The following picture show different moments in the life cycle of an angiosperm.
a.
Label the numbered part of the plant.
b.
Order the pictures and
explain what they show.
1. Root
2. Stem
3. Leaf
Order of the pictures:
B
A
D
C
The plant (B) produce flowers (A). The
flower is fertilized producing the fruit
(D) with the seeds inside. The fruit falls
to the ground and the seed (C) grows
when the conditions are good.
18. Indicate through a schema the different groups of plants we can find.
Angiosperms (produce fruits)
Plants with flowers and seeds
Gymnosperms (don’t produce fruits)
Mosses (no vascular, without true roots, stem and leaves)
Plants without flowers and seeds
(they reproduce by spores)
Ferns (vascular plants, with true roots, stem and leaves)
ANIMAL KINGDOM
INVERTEBRATES
19. Indicate if the following sentences are true or false:
a.
Polyps and jellyfish use tentacles to catch their prey. T
b.
Annelids have bilateral symmetry. T
c.
Most molluscs are terrestrial. F
d. Echinoderms have an exoskeleton made of plates. F
e.
Arthropods moult periodically until they reach adult size. T
f.
Invertebrates are present in terrestrial and aquatic environments. T
20. The following pictures show a polyp and a sponges.
Which one is the polyp and which one the sponges. How do you know?
A
Polyps, because of their tentacles
B
Sponges, because of their pores
21. The number of limbs that arthropods have helps to identify the different groups of arthropods. Classify
the arthropods from the picture into arachnids (4 pairs), crustaceans (5 pairs), myriapods (many pairs)
or insects (3 pairs).
Centipede
Arachnid
Crustacean
Myriapod
Moth
Insect
Insect
Insect
22. Match each invertebrate with its group.
Oyster: mollusc
Earthworm: annelid
Jellyfish: cnidaria
Ant: artrophod
Sponge: porifera
Starfish: echinoderm
VERTEBRATES
23. Indicate if the following sentences are true or false.
a.
Animals can be heterotrophs or autotrophs. F (only heterotrophs)
b.
The body of all vertebrates is divided into three segments. T
c.
Fish have scales, fins and gills. T
d. Reptiles can breathe through their skin. F (amphibians can breathe through their skin and also
through their lungs, but reptiles only through lungs)
e.
Reptiles and birds are oviparous and incubate their eggs. T
f.
Mammals are vertebrates that live in a terrestrial or an aquatic environment. T
g.
Amphibians and mammals have gland in their skin. F (only mammals)
h.
Reptiles and mammals can keep their body temperature constant. F (reptiles are cold-blooded,
that means that their temperature depends on the temperature outside, whereas mammals are
warm-blooded, so they keep their body temperature constant)
24. Reptiles are cold blooded vertebrates. However, by adapting their behavior, some keep their body
temperature lower or higher than their environment.
The following picture shows a lizard from the desert at different hours of the day.
a.
What do we mean when we say an animal is
cold-blooded?
That means that their temperature depends on
the temperature outside.
b.
Describe the behavior of the lizard at the
different times of the day and explain the effect this behavior has on its body temperature.
To warm up, reptiles and amnthoids find sunny places and adopt positions that maximise their
exposure; at harmfully high temperatures they seek shade or cooler water.
