Explain the differences between a kingdom and a species.

A kingdom is the largest level while species is the smallest level.

A kingdom is made up of the largest number of organisms while a species contains the smallest number.

A kingdom consists of organisms that are not very similar to each other while a species consists of organisms that are most similar to each other.

In which group do all the organisms belong to the same kingdom?

1. Dog, mushroom, maple tree

2. Paramecium, ameba, euglena

3. Bacteria, ameba, rose

4. Bacteria, moss, lettuce

1. worms

2. fungi

3. bacteria

4. protists
