an organism made up of one single cell |
multicellular |
an organism made up of different types of cells |
classification |
the process of grouping things based on similarities |
taxonmy |
the branch of science that formally names and classifies organism by their structure function and relationship |
Domain |
the highest and largest rank of grouping organism three groups archaea bacteria and Eukarya |
Domain Bacteria |
prototypical single-celled organism that lacks a nucleus in its cell |
Domain Archaea |
prokaryotic single celled organism that lacks a nucleus in its cell and can live in extreme enviroments |
Domain Eukarya |
organism with cells that contain a nucleus |
Kingdom |
a taxonomic rank below Domain 6 groups: Animalia Fungi Plantae Protista Archae and Eu-bacteria |
autotroph |
an organism that is able to make its own food known as a producer in food chain |
heterotroph |
an organism that is able to make its own food known as a consumer in the food chain |
asexual repoduction |

sexual reproduction |
a method of reproduction that require both male and female parent 50% from 1 parent 50% from 1 parent |
cell theory |
states that all living organisms are made up of 1 or more cells cells are the basic unit of life and all a cell come from other cells |
