The 6 Kingdoms- what makes organisms fall under them? HELP!

Question

alright i have to explain why certain organisms are placed in certain kingdoms.

for fungi, i have mushroom balls

for that i put the following-

The mushroom belongs in the fungi kingdom because it is a mushroom and has pores. It is also part of the Eukarya domain.

please add or tell me if its good enough.

For protista, i had the silver slipper.

i put the following-

The silver slipper belongs to the kingdom protista because, it are eukaryotes and unicellular

MOST DEFINITLEY ADD!

For the kingdom plantae i had the Watsonia-

The Watsonia is part of the plantae family because it cell walls and chloroplasts, is multicellular, and belongs to the eukaryotic category. They are not fungi because they can use photosynthesis to fill them with the fluids and nutrients it needs.

this is good right?

For the kingdom Animalia, i had the bibly.

I put the following-

The Bibly is in the mamalia category because it gives milk to young, has hair, and has mammary glands used for different functions, one of which is sweating. The paws of its feet help cool them down instead of sweating. They also are homoeothermic, which is when you can control the temperature of your body somewhat and keep a healthy temperature most of the time.

For the kingdom Archibacteria, i had a gas cloud picture.

i have NO IDEA, PLEASE HELP!

For the kingdom eubacteria i have bacterial pili,

and i dont know what to put!

HELPP!!!

please help me by tomorrow.

i will keep looking and the littlist bit helps!

Answer 1

Your fungus definition is silly.  A mushroom is a fungus because mushrooms are fungi?  I think the definition depends on being parasitic.

You are right about protists and plants.  You are also right about the characteristics of mammals, but the metabolic stuff is extraneous.  Hair and milk are enough, I'm pretty sure.  But you need the definition for animals, which is probably going to involve being multi-cellular, and some other things.

I don't know that you can distinguish between eubacteria and archebacteria just by looking.  And the genetic level, sure, by comparing rRNA.  But both are prokaryotes, they lack nuclei, and a bunch of other membrane bound organelles that eukaryotes possess.
