Taxomic Groups
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| cell | the smallest unit of an organism that performs life functions |
| 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 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 structures function and relationship |
| Domain | the highest and largest rank of grouping organisms three group; arch, bacteria, and eukarya |
| bacteria | porkaryotic, single-celled organisms that lack a nucleus in its cell |
| Archaea | prokaryotic single-celled organisms that that lack a nucleus in its cell and can live in extreme environments |
| Eukarya | organisms with cells that contain a nucleus |
| Kingdom | a tax rank below Domain 6 groups: animalia, fungi, plantea, protista, archaed, and eulbacteria |
| autotroph | an organism that is able to make its own food; known as a producer in a food chain |

| Arceabacteria | unicellular, asexual, auto and heterotroph, prokaryotic organisms that live in extreme environment |
| Eubacteria | unicellular, asexual, auto and heterotroph, prokaryotic organisms that live in moderate environments |
| protista | uni-multicellular sexual or asexual auto- and heterotrophic eukaryotic organisms that are microscopic |
| Fungi | uni- and multicellular sexual or asexual, heterotrophic, eukaryotic organisms; known as a decomposer in the food chain |
| Plantae | multicellular, sexual and asexual, autotrophs, eukaryotic organisms known; as a producer in the food chain |
| Animilia | multicellular, sexual and asexual, heterotrophs, eukaryotic organisms; also known as a consumer in a food chain |
