| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| cell | the smallest unit of an organism that performs life functions |
| nucleus | a structure found in Eukaryotic cells that contain DNA and is responsible for controlling the activities of the cell. |
| Eukaryotic | a cell containing a membrane – enclosed nucleus and organelles |
| prokaryotic | a cell lacking a nucleus or any other membrane -encloses organelles |
| unicellular | an organisms 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: Archae,Bacteria,and eukarya |
| domain bacteria | Prokaryotic single celled organism that lacks a nucleus in its cells |
| domian archaea | prokaryoyic single celled organism that lacks a nucleus in its cells and can live in extreme environment |
| domain eukarya | organism with cells that contain a nucleus |
| Kingdom | a taxonomic rank below domain 6 groups: animalia fungi plantae protista archaea amd eubacteria |
| autograph | an organism that is able to make its own food known asa a producer in the food chain |
| heterotroph | an organism that CANNOT make its own food known as a consumer in the food chain |
| asexual | a method of reproduction that requires only one parent 100% DNA from 1 parent |
| sexual | a method of reproduction that requires both male and female parent 50% from 1 parent 50% from the other |
| 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 from other cells |
| kingdom archeabacteria | unicellular,asexual,auto and heterotroph,prokariotic organism that live in extreme environments |
| kingdom Eu bacteria | unicellular asexual auto and heterotroph prokaryotic organism that live in moderate environments |
| kingdom protista | uni and multicellular sexual or asexual auto and heterotrophic eukaryotic organism that are microscopic |
| kingdom fungi | uni and multicellular sexual or asexual hetrotrophic eukaryotuic organism known as a decomposer in the food chain |
| kingdom plantae | multicellilar sexual and asexual autotrophs eukaryotic organism,known as a producer in the food chain |
| kingdo, animilia | multicellular sexual and asexual heterotrophs eukaryotic organisms known as a consumer in the food chain |
