eukaryotic a cell containing a membrane- enclosed nucleus and oranelles
prokaryotic a cell lacking a nucleus or any other membrane-enclosed organelles
unicellular an organism made up of one single cell
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 prokaryotic,single-celled organism that lacks a nucleus in its cell and can live in extreme environment
domain eukarya organism with cells that contain a nucleus
kingdom a taxonomic rank below domain 6: 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 it its own food ; known as a consumer in the food chain
asexual a method of reproduction that requires both male and female parent 50% from 1 parent 50% from 1 parent
cell theory state that all living organisms are made up of 1 or more cells; cells are basic unit of life and all cell come from other cells
kingdom archeabacteria unicellular, asexual,auto and heterotroph , prokaryotic organism that live in extrmeme enviroments
kingdom eubacteria unicellular , asexual, auto and heterotroph , prokaryotic organism that live in
kingdom protista uni- and multicellular sexual or a sexual auto- and heterotroph eukaryotic organism that are microscopic
kingdom fungi uni – and multicellular sexual or a sexual, heterotrophic, eukaryotic organism; known as a decomposer in the food chain
kingdom plantae multicellular, sexual and asexual, autotrophs, eukaryotic organism; known as a producer in the food chain
kingdom animilia multicellular, sexual and a sexual, heterotroph, eukaryotic organism; known as a consumer in the food chain
