| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| cell | the smallest unit of an organism that performs life funtions |
| nucleus | a structure found in Eukaryota 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 |
| Domain Archaea | prokaryotic, single-celled organism that lacks a nucleus in its cell an can live in extreme enviroments |
| Domain Eukarya | organisms with cells that contain a nucleus |
| Kingdom | a taxonomic rank below Domain. 6 Groups; animilia, Fungi, Plantae, Protista, Archea, and Eubacteria |

| Kingdom Fungi | uni-and multicellular sexual or asexual auto- and heterotroph, eukaryotic organism; known as a decomposer in the food chain |
| Kingdom Plantae | multicellular, sexual and asexual, autotrophs, eukaryotic organism; known as a producer in the food chain |
| Kingdom Animilia | multicellular, sexual, autotrophs, eukaryotic organism; known as a consumer in the food chain |
