|---|---|
| cell | the smallest unit of an organism that performs life functions |
| nucleus | a structure found on Eukaryota cells that contain DNA and is responsible for controlling the activities of the cell |
| Eukaryotic | a cell containing a membrane-enclosed or nucleus and organelles |
| 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 |
| classifiction | 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 |
