Taxonomic
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| cell | the smallest unit of an organism that performs life functions |
| nucleus | a structure fond 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 |
| Prokaryoyic | a cell lacking a nucleus of 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 relationships |
| 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 and can live in extreme environments |
| Domain Eukarya | organisms with cells that contain a nucleus |
| Kingdom | a taxonomic rank below Domain 6 Groups; Animal, Fungi, Plantae, Protista, Archaed, and Eubacteria |
| autotroph | an organism that is able to make its own food , known as a producer in the 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 parent |
| cell theory | states that all living organisms are made up of 1 or more cells; cells are the basic come from other cells |
| kingdom Archeabacteria | unicellilar, asexual, auto and heterotroph, prokaryotic organism that live in extreme environments |
| kingdom Eubacteria | unicellular, asexual, auto and heterotroph, prokaryotic organism that live in moderate environments |
| kingdom Protista | uni-and multicellular sexual or asexual, heterotrophic, eukaryotic organism that are microscopic |
| kingdom Fungi | uni-and multicellular sexual or asexual heterotrophic, eukaryotic organism; known as a decomposer in the food chain |
| kingdom Plantea | multicellular sexual and asexual, autotrophs, eukaryotic organism; known as a produser in the food chain |
| kingdom Animilia | multicelular, sexual and asexual, heterotrophs, eukaryotic organism; known as a comsumer in the food chain |
