Taxonomy Groups
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| cell | the smallest unit of an organism that preforms 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 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 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, and Eukarya |
| domain bacteria | prokaryotic, single-celled organisms that lacks a nucleus in it's cell |
| domain Eukarya | organisms with cells that contain a necleus |
| Kingdom | a taxonomic rank below Domain 6 groups: Animalia,Fungi,Plantae,Protista,Archaea,and Eubacteria |
| Autotroph | an organism that is able to make it's own food; known as a consumer in the food chain |
| Heterotroph | an organism that CANNOT make it's own food; know as a consumer in the food chain |
| asexual reproduction | a method of reproducing that requires only ONE parent 100% DNA from 1 parent |
| sexual reproduction | a method of reproduction that required both male and female parent 50% from 1 parent and 50% from 1 parent |
| cell theory | states that all living organisms are made up of 1 or more cells;are the basic unit of life and all cells come from other cells |
| Kingdom Archeabacteria | unicellular,asexual,auto and heterotroph, prokaryotic organism that live in EXTREME enviroments |
| Kingdom Eubacteria | unicellular, asexual, auto and heterotroph,prokaryotic organisms that live in moderate enviroments |
| Kingdom Protista | uni- and multi cellular sexual or asexual auto- and heterotroph eukaryotic organisms that are microscopic |
| Kingdom Fungi | uni - and muticellular sexual or asexual, heterotrophic,eukaryotic organisms; known as a decomposer in the food chain |
| Kingdom Plantae | Multicellular,sexual and asexual,autotrophs, eukaryaotic organisms; known as a producer in the food chain |
| Kingdom Animilia | multi cellular, sexual and asexual, autotrophs,eukaryotic organisms; known as a consumer in the food chain |
