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 containing a 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 Eukarya | organism with cell that contain a nucleus |

cell theory | states that all living organisms are made up of 1 more cells; cells are the basic unit of life and all cells come from other cells |
kingdom Archeabacteria | unicellular, asexual, auto and heterotroph, Prokaryotic organism that live in extreme enviroments |
kingdom Eubacteria | unicellular, asexual, auto and heterotroph, prokaryotic organism that live in moderate enviroments |
kingdom protista | uni-and multicellular sexual or asexual auto - and Heterotrophic Eukaryotic organism that are microsopic |
Kingdom Fungi | uni - and multicellular sexual or asexual, heterotrophic, Eukaryotic organism; known as a decomposer in the food chain |
