Unit 11 Science Taxo
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| cell | the smallest unit of an organism life functions |
| nucleus | a structure found in enkaryatic cells that contain DNA and is responsible for controlling the activities of the cell |
| eukaryotic | a cell containing a membrane-enclosed 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 |
| bacteria | prokaryotic single celled organisms that lacks a nucleus in a 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: animalia, fungi, plantae,protista, archaea ,and eubacteria |
| autotroph | an organism that is able to make its own food; known as a producer in the food chain |
| heterotroph | an organism that CANNOT make its own food; known as a consumer in the food chain |
| asexual reproduction | a method of reproduction that requires only 1 parent. 100%DNA from 1 parent |
| sexual reproduction | a method of reproduction that requires both male and female parents. 50%from 1 parent 50% from 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 cell come from other cells |
| archeabacteria | unicellular, asexual, auto and hetrotroph, prokaryotic organism that live in extreme environments |
| eubacteria | unicellular, asexual, auto and heterotroph, prokaryotic organsim that live in moderate environments |
| protista | uni- and multicellular, sexual or a sexual auto- and heterotrophic, eukaryotic organism that are microscopic |
| fungi | uni-and multicellular sexual or asexual, heterotrophic, eukaryotic ;known as a decomposer in the food chain |
| plantae | multicellular, sexual and asexual, autotrophs, eukaryotic organism ;known as a producer on the food chain |
| animilia | multicellular, sexual, and asexual, heterotrophs, eukaryotic organisms; known as a consumer in the food chain |
