Term | Definition |
---|---|
cell | the smallest unit of an organism that performs life functions |
nucleus | a structure found on Eukaryota cells that contain DNA and is responsible for controlling the activities of the cell |
Eukaryotic | a cell containing a membrane-enclosed or 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 |
classifiction | 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 longest rank of grouping organisams three groups:archea ,bacteria,and eukary |
domain bacteria | prototypical,single-celled organism that lacks a nucleus in its cell |
domain archaea | prototypical single-celled,orga |
domain eukarya | organisms with s cells that contain a nucleus |
kingdom | a taxonomic rank below domain 6 groups: animal,fungi,plantae,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 a consumer in the food chain |
asexual reproduction | a method of reproduction that requires only one parent 100% DNA from 1 parent |
sexual reproduction | a method of reproduction that requires both male and female parent 50% from 1 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 cells come from other cells |
kingdom archeabacteria | unicellular,asexual,auto and heterotroph,prokaryotic organism that live in extreme environment |
kingdom eubacteria | unicellular,asexual,auto and heterotroph,prokaryitic orgamisam |
kingdom protista | uni-and multi cellular sexual or a sexual auto-and Heterotrophic Eukaryota organism that are microsopic |
kingdom fungi | uni-and multi cellular sexual or asexual,heterotrophic,Eukaryota organism;known as a decomposer in the food chain |
kingdom plantae | multi-cellular,sexual and asexual,autotrophs,Eukaryota organism;known as a producer in the food chain |
kingdom animilia | multicellular,sexual and asexual,heterotrophs Eukaryota organisms; known as a consumer in the food chain |
