Question

aviannas period oct 23th kingdom classification worksheet assign each mystery organism to a kingdom based on the description. complete the chart below. organism names: shelf fungus, paramecium, apple tree, kelp, mushroom, e. coli, slime mold, venus flytrap, decomposer bacteria (pseudomonas), cow, algae, hawk kingdom names: eubacteria, archaebacteria, plantae, protista, animalia, fungi 1 i am a multicellular, photosynthetic, marine, organism with motile sperm cells. i grow very fast and live my adult life attached to rocks being pounded by waves. 2 i am a single - celled, prokaryotic organism that lives in the large intestines of mammals like humans. i reproduce asexually by binary fission and can reproduce this way very fast 3 i am a multicellular autotroph that lives on land. i grow flowers with eggs and pollen inside them, and produce seeds inside of fruits 4 i am a motile unicell that lives in pondwater. my body is covered with cilia and i can swim very fast. i eat bacteria by endocytosis. 5 i am both unicellular and multicellular depending on how old i am. when i am getting ready to reproduce, my cells join together to make a slippery, shivering mass that is bright orange. when mature, i dry out and release millions of spores. i eat by digesting dead leaves and absorbing the nutrients. 6 i am multicellular, and my body is shaped like a thread. i live in water and turn it bright green when my population explodes. i reproduce using motile sperm. 7 i am a multicellular heterotroph that eats by ingesting grass. my species have males and females, and we cannot reproduce asexually. 8 i am enormous but mostly invisible because my body is hidden under soil. when sexually mature i make spores in fruiting bodies that rise above the soil and release millions of spores. i eat by digesting dead plant material in the soil as i grow through it.

Explanation:

1. Kelp is a multicellular, photosynthetic, marine organism with motile sperm cells. It grows very fast and lives its adult life attached to rocks being pounded by waves. It belongs to the Plantae kingdom.
2. E. coli is a single - celled, prokaryotic organism that lives in the large intestines of mammals like humans. It reproduces asexually by binary fission and can reproduce this way very fast. It belongs to the Eubacteria kingdom.
3. Apple tree is a multicellular autotroph that lives on land. It grows flowers with eggs and pollen inside them, and produce seeds inside of fruits. It belongs to the Plantae kingdom.
4. Paramecium is a motile unicell that lives in pondwater. Its body is covered with cilia and it can swim very fast. It eat bacteria by endocytosis. It belongs to the Protista kingdom.
5. Slime mold is both unicellular and multicellular depending on how old it is. When it is getting ready to reproduce, its cells join together to make a slippery, shithering mass that is bright orange. When mature, it dry out and release millions of spores. It eat by digesting dead leaves and absorbing the nutrients. It belongs to the Protista kingdom.
6. Algae is multicellular, and its body is shaped like a thread. It live in water and turn it bright green when its population explodes. It reproduce using motile sperm. It belongs to the Plantae kingdom.
7. Cow is a multicellular heterotroph that eats by ingesting grass. Its species have males and females, and it cannot reproduce asexually. It belongs to the Animalia kingdom.
8. Shelf fungus is enormous but mostly invisible because its body is hidden under soil. When sexually mature it make spores in fruiting bodies that rise above the soil and release millions of spores. It eat by digesting dead plant material in the soil as it grow through it. It belongs to the Fungi kingdom.
