| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| cell | the smallest unit of an organism that perform life function |
| nucleus | a structure found in eukaryotic cells that contain DNA and is responsible for controlling the activities of the cell |
| eukaryotic | a cell containing a membrane- enclosed nucleus and organelles |
| prokarotic | a cell lacking a nucleus or any other membrane-enclosed organelles |
| unicellular | an organism made up of more than one cell,and often made up of different types of cells |
| multicellular | an organism made up of more than one cell, and often made up of different types of cells |
| classification | the process of grouping things based on similarities |
| taxonomy | the branch of science that formally names and classifies organisms by their structure, function and relationship |
| domain | the highest and largest rank of grouping organisms three groups :archaea, bacteria, and eukarya |
| domain bacteria | prokaryotic, single-celled organism that lacks a nucleus in its cell |
| domain archaea | porkaryotic ,single celled organism that lacks a nucleus in its cell and can live in extreme enviroments |
| domain eukarya | organisms with cells that contain a nucleus |
| kingdom | a taxonomic rank below domain 6 groups: animalia, fungi plantae protista archaea, and Eubacteria |
| autotroph | an organism that is able to make its own food; known as a producer in food chain |
| heterotroph | an organism that cannot make its own food;known as a consumer in the food chain |
| asexual reproduction | a method of reproduction that requires only one parent 100%DNA from 1 parent |
| sexual reproduction | a method of reproduction that requires both male and female parent 50% from 1 parent 50%from 1 parent |
| cell theory | states that all living organisms are made up of 1 or more cells; cells are the basic unit of life and all cells come from other cells |
| kingdom archeabacteria | unicellular ,asexual, auto and heterotroph, prokaryotic organism that live in extreme enviroments |
| kingdom eubacteria | unicellular,asexual,auto and heterotroph,prokarotic organism that live in moderate envirments |
| kingdom protista | uni-and multicellular sexual or asexual auto-and herterotrophic eukaryotic organism that are microscopic |
| kingdom fungi | uni-and multicellular sexual or asexual, heterotrophis, eukaryotic organism known as a decomposer in the food chain |
| kingdom plantae | multicellular, sexual ,and, asexual, autotrophs,eukarotic organism;known as a producer in the food chain |
| kingdom animilia | multicellular, sexual and asexual, heterotrophs, eukarotic organisms; known as a consumer in the food chain |
