Unit 11 Science
Taxonomy Groups
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| cell | the smallest unit of an organism that performs life function |
| nucleus | a structure found in eukaryotic cells that contains 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 grouping organisms Three groups: Archaea,Bacteria, and Eukarya |
| Domain Bacteria | prokaryotic, single-celled organism that lacks a nucleus in its cell |
| Domain Archaea | prokaryotic, single-celled organism that lacks a nucleuse in its cell and live in extreme enviroments |
| Domain Eukarya | organisms with cells that contain a nucleus |
| kingdom | a taxonomic rank below Domain 6 groups: Animalia, Fungi, Plantae, Pritista,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 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 parent 50% from 1 perent |
| 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,sexual,auto and heterotropgh, prokaryotic orgamism that live in extreme enviroments |
| Kingdom Eubacteria | unicellular, asexual , auto and heterotroph,prokaryotic organism that live in moderate enviroments |
| Kingdom Protista | unicellular and multicellular , sexual or asexual, auto and heterotrophic, eukaryotic organism that are microscopic |
| Kingdom Fungi | uni-and multicellular, sexual or asexual,heterotrophic, eukaryotic organism; known as a decomposer in tyhe food chain |
| Kingdom Plantae | multicellular, sexual and asexual, autotrophs, eukariatic organism; known as a producer i n the food chain |
| Kingdom Animilia | multicellular, sexual and asexual, heterotrophs eukaryotic orgamism; known as a consumer in the food chain |
