Unit 11 Science
Taxonomy Groups
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| 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 nucleus and organelles |
| Prokaryotic | a cell lacking a nucleus a nucleus or any other membrane-enclosed organelles |
| unicellular | an organism made up of one single cell |
| multicellular | a 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 eukarya |
| bacteria | prokaryotic single celled organism that lacks a nucleus in its cell |
| archaea | prokaryotic single celled organism that lacks a nucleus in its cell and can live in extreme environments |
| eukarya | organisms with cells that contain a nucleus |
| kingdom | a taxonomic rank below domain 6 groups anamilia fungi plantae protista archaea and eubacteria |
| autotroph | an organism that is able to make its own food; known as a producer in food chain |
| heterotroph | an organism that cannot make its own food; known as the consumer in the food chain |
| asexual | a method of reproduction that requires only 1 parent 100% DNA from 1 parent |
| sexual | a method of reproduction that requires both male and female parent 50% 1 parent 50% 1 parent |
| cell theory | states that all living organisms are made up of 1 or more cells; cells are the basic unit of life and all cells come from other cells |
| archeabacteria | unicellelar, asexual, auto and heterotroph, prokaryotic organism that live in extreme environments |
| eubacteria | unicellular, asexual, auto and heterotroph, prokaryotic organism that live in moderate environments |
| protista | uni and multicellular sexual or asexual, heterotrophic eukaryotic organism that are microscopic |
| fungi | uni and multicellular sexual or asexua, heterotrophic, eukaryotic organism; known as decomposer in food chain |
| plantae | multicellular, sexual and asexual, autotrophs, eukaryotic organism; known as producer in food chain |
| animilia | multicellular, sexual and asexual, heterotrophs, eukaryotic organism; known as the consumer in the food chain |
