| 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 organelles |
| prokaryotic | a cell lacking nucleus or any other membrane - enclosed organelles |
| unicelluar | an organism made up of one single cell |
| multicelluar | an organism made up of more than one cell, and often made up of different types of cells |
| classification | the process 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 |
| Domain Bacteria | prokaryotic single- celled organism that lacks nucleus in its cell |
| Domain Archaea | prokaryotic, single - celled organism that lacks nucleus in its cell and can live in extreme enviroments |
| Domain Eukarya | organisms with cells that contain a nucleus |
| Kingdom | a taxonomic rank below Domain 6 Groups: Animalia, Fungi, Plantae, 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 food chain |

| 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 heteortroph, prokaryotic organism that live in extreme enviroments |
