Question |
Answer |
cell |
the smallest unit of an organism that performs life functions |
nucleus |
a structure found cells that contain DNA and is responsible for controlling the activities of the cell |
Eukaryotic |
a cell containing a membrane – enclosed 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 of cells |
classification |
the process of grouping things based on similarities |
taxonomy |
the branch of science that formally names and classifies organism by their structure function and relationships |
domain |
the highest and largest rank of grouping organism Three groups: Archaea,Bacteria |
Bacteria |
Prokaryotic single- celled organism that lacks a nucleus in its cells
|
Archaea |
prokaryotic, single- celled organism that lacks a nucleus in its cell and can live in extreme environment |
Eukarya |

Cell Theory |
states that all living organisms are made up of 1 or more cells, cells are the basic unit of life and all cells come from other cells |
Archeabacteria |
unicellular, asexual,auto and heterotroph, prokaryotic organism that live in extreme envirments |
Eubacteria |
unicelleular,asexual auto and hetero-troph, prokaryotic organism that live in moderate environments |
