| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| cell | the smallest organism that preforms life functions |
| nucleus | found in eukaryotic cells that contain DNA and is responsible for controlling cell activites |
| Eukaryotic | a cell contains a nucleus and organelles-true nucleus |
| Prokaryotic | a cell lacking a nucleus-before, NO nucleus |
| unicellular | an organism with single cell-1 cell |
| multicellular | an organism with many cells of different types-many cells |
| classification | process of grouping based on similarities |
| taxonomy | the branch of science that formally names and classifies organism by their structure function and relationship |
| Domain | broadest rank of grouping-Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya |
| Domain Bacteria | prokaryotic,unicellular organism that lacks a nucleus |
| Domain Archaesa | prkaroyotic,unicellular organism that lacks a nucleus and can live in extreme weather |
| Domain Eukarya | organism with cells that contain a nucleus |
| Kingdom | a taxonomic rank below Domain with 6 groups: Animalia, Fungi, Plantae, Prostista, Archaea, and Eubacteria |
| autotroph | self feeds;producer |
| heterotroph | different feed;consumer |
| asexual reproduction | reproduction that only requires one parent:source a:without |
| sexual reproduction | reproduction that requires both female male |
| cell theory | states that all living organisms are made up of 1 or more cells |
| Kingdom Archeabacteria | unicellular,asexual,auto and heterotroph, prokaryoticorganism that live in extreme enviorments |
| Kingdom Eubacteria | unicellular, asexual, auto and heterotroph, prokaryotic organism that can live in moderate enviorment |
| Kingdom Protista | unicellular, asexual, auto and heterotrophic, prokaryotic eukaryotic organism that are microscopic organism |
| Kingdom Fungi | uni and multicellular, sexual or asexual, auto and heterotrophic, eukaryotic organism;known as a decomposer in the food chain |
| Kingdom Plantae | multicellular, sexual, and asexual,autotrophs, eukaryotic organism;know as a producer in the food chain |
| Kingdom Animalia | multicellular, sexual and asexual,heterotrophs,eukaryotic organisms;known as a consumer in the food chain |
