| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| species | A group of organisms that are very closely related. |
| genus | A group that includes similar species. |
| domain | The largest difference among organisms: Archaea, Bacteria, & Eukarya are the three domains. |
| Bacteria | Made up of prokaryotes(no nucleus) that usually have a cell wall and reproduce by cell division. Unicellular and known as "new" bacteria. |
| Archaea | Made up of prokaryotes(no nucleus)but the difference from bacteria is that it can live in harsh "extreme" environments. Known as the "old" bacteria. |
| Eukarya | Made up all eukaryote (nucleus). |
| Animalia | Multicellular organisms with no cell wall and most are able to move. They also have sensory organisms. Heterotrophs. We are part of this kingdom. |
| Plantae | Multicellular organisms with cell wall and it cannot move. They also make their own food, autotrophs which use the process of photosynthesis. |
| Protista | Eukaryotes. Single cell or simple multicellular organisms. Plant-like, animal-like and fungus like characteristis. Scientist sometimes call this group the mix and match kingdom. Examplea sre amoebas, euglenas,and paramecium that live in pond water. |
| Fungi | Heterotrophic: Gets energy by absorbing materials and have cell walls but no chloroplast. They can be single-celled or multicellular. This group includes yeasts, molds and mushroom. |
| dichotomous key | Paired statements to identify organisms. |
| binomial nomenclature (scientific name) | the two part naming system for living organisms where the first part is the genus and the second part is the species |
| classify | grouping based on similar characteristics |
| invertebrate | living organism without a backbone |
| vertebrate | living organism with a backbone |
| prokaryote | organism with no nucleus |
| eukaryotes | organism with a nucleus |
| unicellular | made of one cell |
| multicellular | made of many cells |
| autotrophs | organism that can make its own food |
| heterotroph | organism that gets its food from other organisms (living things) |
| DNA, RNA & bones | scientist group living things based on similar characteristics into six kingdoms |
