Question | Answer |
---|---|
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 organelles |
prokaryotic | a cell lacking a nucleus or any other membrane enclose organelles |
unicellular | an organism made up of one single cell |
multicellular | an organism made up of more than one cell, often 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: Archaea, Bacteria, Eukarya |
Domain Bacteria | prokaryotic, single celled organism that lacks a nucleus in it's cell. |
Domain Archaea | prokaryotic, single celled organism that lacks a nucleus in its cell and can live in extreme envirements |
Domain Eukarya | organisms with cells that contain a nucleus |
Kingdom | a taxonomic rank below Domain 6 groups: Animalia, Fungi, Plantae, Protista, Archea, and Eubacteria |
autotroph | an organism that is able to make its own food |
heterotroph | an organism that cannot make its own food |
asexual reproduction | a method of reproduction that requires only one parent |
sexual reproduction | a method of reproduction that requires both male and female parent. 50% and 50% |
cell theory | states that all living organisms are made up of one or more cells: tells basic unit of life |
Kingdom Archeabacteria | unicellular,asexual, auto and heterotroph, prokarotic organism that that live in extreme environments. |
Kingdom Eubacteria | unicellular, asexual, auto and heterotroph, prokaryotic organism that lives in moderate environments. |
Kingdom Protista | uni and multi cellular sexual or asexual,auto and heterotrophic, eukaryotic, organism that are microscopic |
Kingdom Plantae | multi cellular sexual or asexual,autotrophs, eukaryotic organism known as producer in the food chain. |
Kingdom Animilia | multicellular,sexual and asexual, heterotrophs, eukaryotic organism known as consumers in the food chain. |
