| 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 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 organisms three groups: archaea, bacteria, and eukarya |
| domain bacteria | prokaryotic ,single-celled organism that lacks a nucleus in its cell this is our environment |
| domain archea | prokaryotic , single-celled organisms that lacks a nucleus in its cell and can live in extreme enviroments |
| domain eukarya | organisms with cells that contains a nucleus |
| kingdom | a taxonomic rank below domain 6 groups: animilia, fungi, plantae, prosista, archea, and eubacteria |
| autotroph | an organism that is able to make its own food;known |
| heterotroph | an organism that is able to 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 |
| sexual reproduction | a method of reproduction that requires both male and female parent 50% from 1 parent 50% from 1 parent |
| cell theory | states that all living orginisms are made up 1 or more cells; cells are the basic unit of life and all cells come from other cells |
| kingdom archeabacteria | unicellular, asexual, auto and heterotrioph, prokaryotic organisms that live in extreme environments |
| kingdom eubacteria | unicellular , asexual, auto and heterotroph , prokaryotic organisms that live in moderate environments |
| kingdom protista | uni- and multicellular cellular sexual |
