Biology Chapter 17.3

TermDefinition
Bacteria In a modern taxonomic system, a domain made up of prokaryotes that usually have a cell wall and that reproduce by cell division; this domain aligns with the traditional kingdom Eubacteria.
Archaea Prokaryotes, most of which are known to live in extreme environments; differentiated from other prokaryotes by genetic differences and differences in the make up of their cell walls.
Eukarya In a modern taxonomic system, a domain made up of all eukaryotes; aligns with the traditional kingdoms Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia.
Eubacteria In a traditional taxonomic system, a kingdom that contains all prokaryotes except Kingdom Archaebacterial (Domain Archaea); biologists more recently prefer to classify these organisms as Domain Bacteria.
Archaebacterial In taxonomic system, a kingdom made up of prokaryotes that can live in extreme environments; differentiated from other prokaryotes by various important chemical differences; biologists more recently prefer to classify these organism as Domain Archaea.
Protista In a traditional taxonomic system, a kingdom made up of mostly one-celled eukaryotic organisms that are not readily classified as either plants, animals, or fungi.
Fungi In a traditional taxonomic system, a kingdom made up of non-green, eukaryotic organisms that get food by breaking down organic matter and absorbing the nutrients, reproduce by means of spores, and have no means of movements.
Plantae In taxonomic system, a kingdom made up of eukaryotic, multicellular organism that have cell walls made mostly of cellulose, that have pigments that absorb light, that supply energy and oxygen to themselves and to other life-forms through photosynthesis.
Animalia In a traditional taxonomic system, a kingdom made up of complex, multicellular organisms that lack cell walls, are usually able to move around, and possess specialized sense organs that help them quickly respond to their environment.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
