Taxonomic Grups
Term | Definition |
---|---|
cell | the smallest unit of an organism that preforms life function |
nucleus | a structure found in eukaryotic cell 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-enclosed organelles |
unicellular | an organism made up of one single cell |
multicellular | an organism made up of more than one cell and often made up of many different types of cells |
classification | the process of grouping things based on similarities |
taxonomy | the branch of science that formally names and classifies organism by their structures ,function and relationship |
domain | the highest and largest rank of grouping organisms;three groups: Archea Bacteria and Eukaraya |
domain bacteria | prokaryotic single celled organism that lack a nucleus in its cell |
domain archaea | prokaryotic single celled organism that lacks a nucleus in its cell and can live in EXTREME ENVIORMENTS |
domain Eukaraya | organisms with cells that contain a nuclues |
kingdom | a taxonomic rank below Domain, 6 groups: Animalia, Archaea, Plantae,Protistia, and Eubacteria |
autotroph | an organism that can make its own food ;know as the producer in the foodchain |
hetertroph | an organism that CANNOT make its own food;know as a consumer in the food chain |
asexual reproduction | a method of reproduction that requires only one parent = source 100% DNA from 1 parent=Source |
sexual reproduction | a method of reproduction that requires both male and female parents=source 50% one source 50% one source |
cell theory | states that all living organisms are made up of one or more cells;cells are the basic unit of life and all cells come from other cells |
Kingdom Arcgeabateria | unicellular, asexual, auto and heterotroph, prokaryotic organism that live in extreme enviorments |
Kingdom Eubacteria | unicellular, asexual, auto and heterotroph, prokaryotic organism that live in moderate eniviorments |
Kingdom Protista | uni and multi cellular sexual and asexual, auto and heterotrophic eukaryotic organism that are microscopic |
Kingdom Fungi | uni and multi cellular, sexual or asexual, heterotrophic , eukaryotic organism; known as a decomposer in the food chain |
Kingdom Plantae | multi cellular ,sexual, autotrophs, eukaryotic organism known as a producer in the food chain |
Kingdom Animilia | multi cellular, sexual and asexual, heterotrophs, eukaryotic organisms; known as a consumer in the foodchain |
