| Cell | the smallest unit of an organism that performs life functions |
| Nucleus | a structure found in eukaryotic cells |
| Eukaryotic | a cell containing a membrane – enclosed nucleus and organelles |
| Prokaryotic | a cell lacking a nucleus or any other membrane – enclosed organelles |

| multicallular | 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:arch |
| 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 |
| domain eukarya | organism with cells that contain a nucleus |
| kingdom | a taxonomic rank below Domain 6Groups;animalias ,archaea, and eubacteria |
