| Organism | Organism living thing made up of one or more cells, use energy, move, respond to their environment, reproduce and have a life span. We do not know any organism that lives for ever |
| Species | The most specific category in the classification of living things. A species is a group of organisms that resemble each other in appearance and behavior, and can interbreed under natural conditions to produce fertile offspring. |
| Animalia | The kingdom of multi celled organisms that live by taking in food. |
| Fungi | The kingdom on multi celled organisms that live by first digesting their food outside their body, then absorbing their food. |
| Monera | The kingdom of single celled organisms that lack a nucleus. |
| Protista | The kingdom of single celled organisms whose cells have a nucleus |
| Abiotic Factors | Something in an ecosystem that is non-living and has no living origin |
| Dichotomous key | A step by step guide to identifying an organism. At each step of the key, the scientist is required to make a choice between at least two characteristics. The identity of the organism is eventually determined in this manner |
| Genus | The second-most specific category in the classification of living things. All organisms are known by a two word name consisting of their genus and species |

| Vertebrate | An animal with a backbone. Vertebrates make up less then 10% of the Animal Kingdom, because of insects. |
| Ecosystem | A group of organisms and their physical (Abiotic/non-living) environment. |
| Community | Different populations of species living together in the same area |
| Population | Organisms of the same species living in the same area. |
| Consumer | An organism that feeds on other organisms. |
| Producer | An organism that makes it own food through process of photosynthesis. |
