Correct Answer(s)
B. Multi-cellular organism
C. Complex cell structures
D. Move by using cilia or a psuedopod (a false foot)
F. Share characteristics with animals, plants, or fungi
G. Have a nucleus

Explanation
The Protist Kingdom includes organisms that are multi-cellular, have complex cell structures, move by using cilia or a pseudopod, share characteristics with animals, plants, or fungi, and have a nucleus. These organisms can have a variety of characteristics and can be found in different environments. They are not the most numerous type of organism, and they do not absorb food by decomposing other organisms.

Which of the following are kinds of bacteria?
- A.
  
  Mushrooms, Amanitas,
- B.
  
  Amoebas, Slime mold, Algae
- C.
  
  Cocci, Bacilli, spirochetes
Correct Answer
C. Cocci, Bacilli, spirochetes

Explanation
Cocci, Bacilli, and spirochetes are all types of bacteria. Cocci are spherical or oval-shaped bacteria, Bacilli are rod-shaped bacteria, and spirochetes are spiral-shaped bacteria. Mushrooms, Amanitas, Amoebas, Slime mold, and Algae are not bacteria, but rather belong to different groups such as fungi and protists. Therefore, the correct answer is Cocci, Bacilli, spirochetes.

Which of the following are kinds of protists?
- A.
  
  Mushrooms, Amanitas,
- B.
  
  Amoebas, Slime mold, Algae
- C.
  
  Cocci, Bacilli, spirochetes
Correct Answer
B. Amoebas, Slime mold, Algae

Explanation
Amoebas, slime mold, and algae are all examples of protists. Protists are a diverse group of eukaryotic microorganisms that do not fit into any other kingdom. Amoebas are single-celled organisms that move and feed by using pseudopods. Slime mold is a type of protist that can exist as a single-celled organism or as a multicellular organism with a complex life cycle. Algae are photosynthetic protists that can be found in various aquatic environments and can range from single-celled organisms to large multicellular forms.

Archaebacteria and Eubacteria are the 2 kingdoms of bacteria.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Archaebacteria and Eubacteria are indeed the two kingdoms of bacteria. Bacteria are classified into these two kingdoms based on their genetic and biochemical characteristics. Archaebacteria are known for their ability to survive in extreme environments, such as hot springs and salt flats. Eubacteria, on the other hand, are the more common type of bacteria found in various habitats, including soil, water, and the human body. Therefore, the statement "Archaebacteria and Eubacteria are the 2 kingdoms of bacteria" is true.
