Explain the characteristics scientists use when observing organisms and placing them in the six kingdoms .
Scientists use several key characteristics to classify organisms into the six kingdoms. These include: 1. Cell type: Whether the organism is prokaryotic (lacks a nucleus) or eukaryotic (has a nucleus). 2. Cell number: Whether the organism is unicellular (single-celled) or multicellular (made of many cells). 3. Method of obtaining energy: Whether the organism is an autotroph (produces its own food) or a heterotroph (must consume other organisms for food). 4. Cell structure: The presence or absence of a cell wall and its chemical composition.

Using microscope slides and dipping them into the boiling hot springs at Yellowstone National Park, scientists were able to collect these organisms. They are unicellular, prokaryotes with a cell wall. What are they?
Streptococci can give you strep throat. They are unicellular, prokaryotes that contain a cell wall. They are so small that a powerful microscope must be used to see them. In which kingdom would you place them?
