1. Using Tables and Graphs According to the chart, what is the main difference between the
domain Bacteria and the domain Archaea? 2. Applying Concepts If you know an organism has a cell wall and is a multicellular autotroph,
could you use the chart to determine in which kingdom it belongs? Why or why not? 3. Using Tables and Graphs Using the chart, can you determine which kingdom contains the
greatest number of species? Why or why not? 3. Applying Concepts If you were told only that an organism is unicellular and has chloroplasts
and a nucleus, could you use the chart to determine to which kingdom it belongs? Why or why not?
4. Using Tables and Graphs Considering the data presented in the chart, which characteristic
seems more important in assigning an organism to a specific domain—the presence or absence of a nucleus or its mode of nutrition? Why?
