/14 Biology Chapter 6 : Test Yourself 1 / 14 In which kingdom would you place a multicellular land organism that performs photosynthesis: A) animalia B) monera C) plantae D) protista Reasoning: Multicellular organisms that perform photosynthesis belong to kingdom Plantae. 2 / 14 Which kingdom is mismatched with the characteristics? A) plantae – photosynthetic B) protista - various modes of nutrition C) fungi - usually saprotrophic 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) animalia B) protista C) fungi D) plantae Reasoning: Most algae are placed in Protista due to simple organization. 4 / 14 A scientific name has the advantage that it: A) same organisms have different name in different areas B) has scientific basis and is universally accepted. C) same name applied to different organisms. D) has no scientific basis. 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) heterotrophs B) autotrophs C) parasites D) saprotrophs Reasoning: Saprotrophs obtain nutrition from dead and decaying organic matter. 7 / 14 Viruses are assigned to the kingdom: A) Not included in any kingdom B) Protista C) Fungi D) Plantae Reasoning: Viruses are acellular and not included in any kingdom. 8 / 14 The common characteristic of viruses, prions and viroids is: A) Respiration B) Infectious nature C) Movement D) Excretion Reasoning: All are infectious agents, though non-cellular. 9 / 14 Colonial organization is the unique feature of kingdom: A) Fungi B) Plantae C) Animalia D) Protista 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—ingestive; prokaryote—heterotrophic; fungus—absorptive; plant—photosynthetic B) Animal—heterotrophic; prokaryote—heterotrophic; fungus—ingestive; plant—autotrophic C) Animal—absorptive; prokaryote—autotrophic; fungus—ingestive; plant—autotrophic D) Animal—ingestive; prokaryote—absorptive; fungus—autotrophic; plant—heterotrophic 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 too large. B) they are not considered as organism. C) they are of various colours. D) they are poorly understood. Reasoning: Viruses are not considered true living organisms. 12 / 14 A related group of genera forms: A) a class B) a family C) an order D) a phylum Reasoning: A family consists of related genera. 13 / 14 In which of the following the first letter is capitalized in binomial nomenclature? A) species B) class C) family D) genus Reasoning: Genus name always starts with a capital letter. 14 / 14 If humans and cats belong to the same class, they must belong to the same: A) phylum B) order C) family D) genus Reasoning: Same class means they share higher ranks like phylum and kingdom.
