Definition |
cell |
the smallest unit of an organism that performs |
nucleus |
a structure found in Eukaryota cells that contain DNA and is responsible for controlling the activities of the cell |
eukaryotic |
a cell containing a nucleus or any other membrane-enclosed organelles |
prokaryotic |
a cell lacking a nucleus or any other membrane-enclosed organelles |
unicellular |
organism made up of 1cell |
multicellular |
organism made more than one cell |
classification |
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: Archean, Bacteria, and Eukarya |
domain bacteria |
prokaryotic, single-celled organism that lacks a nucleus in its cell |
domain eukarya |
organisms with cells that contain a nucleus |
domain archaea |
prokaryotic single-celled organism that lacks a nucleus in its cell and can live in extreme enviroments |
kingdom |
a taxonomic rank below Domain 6 Groups: Animal, fungi,, plantade, protista, archaea, and Eubacteria |
autotroph |
an organism that make its own food; known as a producer in the food chin |
heterotroph |
CANNOT make its own food; known as a consumer in the food chin |
asexual reproduction |
requires only one parent 100% DNA from 1 parent |
sexual reproduction |
requires both parents 50% from 1 parent and another 50% from the other parent |
cell theory |
that all living organism are made up of 1 or more cells; cells are the basic unit of life |
kingdom archeabacterea |
unicellular, asexual, auto and heterortroph, pro karyota organisum lives in extreme enviroments |
kingdom eubacteria |
uni cellar , asexual ,,auto and hetrerotroph, prokaryotic orgainisum that live in moderate enviroments |
kingdom protista |
