Unit 11 Science
Taxonomy Groups
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| cell | the smallest unit of an organism that preforms life functions |
| nucleus | a structure found in Eukaryotic cells that contain DNA and is responsible for controlling the activites of the cell |
| Eukaryotic | a cell containing a membrane - enclosed 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 |
| Domain Eukarya | prokaryotic, single-celled organism that lacks a nucleus in its cell and can live in extreme enviorments |
| Kingdom | a taxonomic rank below Domain 6 groups: Animalia, Fungi, Plantae, Protista, 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 the consumer in the food chain |
| asexual | a method of reproduction that requires only one parent 100% DNA from 1 parent |
| sexual | 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 unit of life and all cells come from other cells |
| Kingdom Archeabacteria | unicellular, asexual, auto and heterotroph, prokaryotic organism that live in extreme enviorments |
| Kingdom Eubacteria | unicellular, asexual, auto and heterotroph, prokaryotic organism that live in moderate enviorments |
| Kingdom Portista | uni- and multicellular sexual or asexual auto- and heterotrophic eukaryotic organism that are microscope |
| Kingdom Fungi | uni-and multicellular sexual or asexual, heterotrophic, eukaryotic organism; known as a decomposer in the food chain |
| Kingdom Plantae | multicellular, sexual and asexual, autotrophs, eukaryotic organism; known as the producer in the food chain |
| Kingdom Animilia | multicellular, sexual and asexual, heterotrophs, eukaryotic organisms; known as a consumer in the food chain |
