Kingdom
Has a cell wall (answer NEVER,
SOMETIMES or ALWAYS, AND what it
is made of: chitin, cellulose,
peptidoglycan)
What Domain does each
group belong to (Domain
Bacteria, Domain Archae,
Domain Eukarya)
Does this kingdom contain
chloroplasts (Has
chloroplasts, some have
chloroplasts, no
chloroplasts)
Archaebacteria

5. Which taxon is the most GENERAL? _______________ Most SPECIFIC? _________________
6. Scientists use binomial nomenclature to give organisms a common two part name. The first name, which is
capitalized is the ______________ name and the second name, which is not capitalized, is the ______________
name. What must you do to both names?
____________________________________________________________________
BACTERIA
7. For each characteristic, write E if it is a characteristic of Eubacteria, A if it is a characteristic of archaebacteria and B if
it is a characteristic of both:
