/14 Biology Chapter 6 : Test Yourself 1 / 14 In which kingdom would you place a multicellular land organism that performs photosynthesis: A) animalia B) protista C) plantae D) monera Reasoning: Multicellular organisms that perform photosynthesis belong to kingdom Plantae. 2 / 14 Which kingdom is mismatched with the characteristics? A) protista - various modes of nutrition B) fungi - usually saprotrophic C) plantae – photosynthetic D) animalia - rarely ingestive Reasoning: Animals are ingestive heterotrophs, so “rarely ingestive” is incorrect. 3 / 14 The kingdom to which most algae belong is: A) protista B) fungi C) plantae D) animalia Reasoning: Most algae are placed in Protista due to simple organization. 4 / 14 A scientific name has the advantage that it: A) has no scientific basis. B) same organisms have different name in different areas C) has scientific basis and is universally accepted. D) same name applied to different organisms. Reasoning: Scientific names are standardized and universally accepted. 5 / 14 Binomial nomenclature was introduced by: A) Ernest Haeckel B) Carolus Linnaeus C) R.H Whittaker D) Aristotle Reasoning: Linnaeus introduced the binomial naming system. 6 / 14 The organisms that feed on dead, decaying matter are called: A) parasites B) saprotrophs C) heterotrophs D) autotrophs Reasoning: Saprotrophs obtain nutrition from dead and decaying organic matter. 7 / 14 Viruses are assigned to the kingdom: A) Plantae B) Not included in any kingdom C) Fungi D) Protista Reasoning: Viruses are acellular and not included in any kingdom. 8 / 14 The common characteristic of viruses, prions and viroids is: A) Excretion B) Movement C) Infectious nature D) Respiration Reasoning: All are infectious agents, though non-cellular. 9 / 14 Colonial organization is the unique feature of kingdom: A) Animalia B) Plantae C) Protista D) Fungi Reasoning: Some protists form colonies (e.g., Volvox). 10 / 14 Which option correctly matches animal, prokaryote, fungus, and plant with their usual modes of nutrition? A) Animal—absorptive; prokaryote—autotrophic; fungus—ingestive; plant—autotrophic B) Animal—ingestive; prokaryote—absorptive; fungus—autotrophic; plant—heterotrophic C) Animal—heterotrophic; prokaryote—heterotrophic; fungus—ingestive; plant—autotrophic D) Animal—ingestive; prokaryote—heterotrophic; fungus—absorptive; plant—photosynthetic Reasoning: Animals ingest, fungi absorb, plants photosynthesize, and prokaryotes are mostly heterotrophic. 11 / 14 Viruses are not included in any domain or traditional classification because: A) they are of various colours. B) they are too large. C) they are poorly understood. D) they are not considered as organism. Reasoning: Viruses are not considered true living organisms. 12 / 14 A related group of genera forms: A) a phylum B) a family C) an order D) a class Reasoning: A family consists of related genera. 13 / 14 In which of the following the first letter is capitalized in binomial nomenclature?
