2. According to the domain system of classification, list the three “Domains” of classification below. (Highlight prokaryotes one color and eukaryotes another color)

1______2______3______

3. What color did you code prokaryotes______eukaryotes______? 4. How are organisms classified within each kingdom?

K______P______C______O______F______G______S______

5. Create a sentence to help you remember the above levels of classification.______6. What levels of organization are used in binomial nomenclature: ______(Highlight them in #4) Which one is capitalized?______7. Give two examples of the names of organisms: ______8. Create a four square for the following terms: prokaryote, eukaryote, multi-cellular, & unicellular

Draw a plant cell and an animal cell in the spaces below, and include the organelles and structures each cell has, 2 be sure to label each structure and organelle. 2

In the table below list the name of an organelle, and detail its structure and state its function and place a check in the box under either plant or animal cell or both if the organelle is in those organisms.

Organelle Structure Functions Animal Cell Plant Cell Bacterial Cell

9. What structure does a plant cell have that an animal cell does not have?______10. What is the difference between a prokaryotic cell and a eukaryotic cell?______

Answer Key Page 1 1. Five Kingdom System 1.Monera 2. Protista 3. Fungi 4. Plantae 5. Animalia

a. Eubacteria b. Archaea Bacteria

2. Three Domains

1.Eubacteria 2. Archaea 3.Eukarya

3. (Color Choices will vary see example, students should use two colors)

4. Kingdom, Phyla, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species

5. King Phillip Came Over For Good Sushi (Students can make up their own)

6. Genus Species should be written and highlighted with a 3rd color.

7. Students should give two examples of the name of organisms using binomial nomenclature. Ex. Homo sapien.

8. Four Squares typically have 4 components: the term in one quadrant, the definition in one quadrant, a picture in one quadrant, and a sentence using the term in one quadrant. Students could be allowed to put a fact in one quadrant as well.

Prokaryote No true nucleus Term: Eukaryote Definition: True nucleus where

DNA is contained within a nucleus. Picture: Sentence:

A bacteria cell is an Animals are example of a eukaryotes.

prokaryote.

A single celled An organism Unicellular Multicellular organism composed of more

than one cell.

An amoeba pictured A plant is a is a unicellular multicellular organism. organism.

ANSWER KEY PAGE 2 4

Plant Cell (Students can draw, and label and color their own cells.) Animal Cell

Notes for Teacher: Students should be provided a text book or a resource with information on cell types, and information on organelles found in plant and animal cells where the structure and function is explained. Students should use their resource to complete the chart. A few examples are detailed below. (Several rows have been filled in to use for an example. The student handout is a few rows short for all cell components, so have them either list key structures you want them to know, or students may want to complete additional rows on their own paper, or below the rows.)

Organelle Structure Functions Animal Cell Plant Cell Chloroplast Oval double Captures light No Yes membrane Makes glucose In photosynthesis Cell Wall Waxy cuticle Protection No Yes covering cell Prevention of membrane Water loss Cell Membrane Bilayer structure It is a selectively Yes Yes composed of permeable hydrophilic heads, membrane and hydrophobic regulating what fatty acid tails enters and exits a cell

9. A plant cell has a cell wall and an animal cell does not. 10. The DNA in a prokaryotic cell is not enclosed within a nuclear membrane (No true nucleus), but eukaryotic cells have their DNA enclosed within a nuclear membrane (true nucleus). © Copyright-All rights reserved www.cpalms.org
