| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| cell | the smallest unit of organism that preforms life functions |
| nucleus | a structure found in eukaryotic cells 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 |
| unicellelar | a organism made of one single cell |
| multicellular | an organism made up more than one cell and often made up of different cells |
| classification | the process of grouping things based on simalarities |
| taxonomy | the branch of science that formally names and classifies organisms by their structure functions and relationship |
| domain | the highest and largest rank of grouping organism three groups: archaea bacteria eukarya |
| bacteria | prokarotic single celled organism that lacks a nucleus in its cell |
| archaea | prokarotic single celled organism that lacks a nucleus in its cell and can live in extreme enviorements |
| eukarya | organisms with cells that contain a nucleus |
| kingdom | a taxonomic rank below the domain 6 groups :animalia fungi ' plantae protista archea and eubacteria |
| autotroph | an organism that is able to make its own food known as a producer in food chain |
| hetrotroph | an organism that cannot make its own food known as a consumer in the 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 |
| Archeabacteria | unicellular asexual auto hetrotrouph prokaryotic organism that live in extreme enviorements |
| eubacteria | unicellular asexual auto and hetrotrouph prokaryotic organism that live in moderate enviorements |
| protista | uni and multi cellalar sexual or asexual hetrotroph eukaryotic organism that are microscopic |
| fungi | uni and multicellular sexual and asexual htrotrophic eukaryotic organism known as a decomposer in the food chain |
| plantae | multicellular sexual and a sexual autotrophs eukaryotic organism known as a producer in the food chain |
| animilia | multicellular sexual and asexual hetrotrophs eukaryotic organisms known as a consumer in the food chain |
