| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| archae | a group of single-celled microorganisms that lack a nucleus, |
| bacteria | a member of a large group of unicellular microorganisms which have cell walls but lack organelles and an organized nucleus |
| eukarya | a domain of life distinguished by complex cells with a membrane-bound nucleus and other specialized, membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum. |
| protist | a eukaryotic organism that is not an animal, plant, or fungus |
| fungi | any of a group of spore-producing organisms feeding on organic matter, or the fruiting body of such an organism, e.g. a mushroom. |
| plant | a living organism of the kind exemplified by trees, shrubs, herbs, grasses, ferns, and mosses, typically growing in a permanent site, absorbing water and inorganic substances through its roots, and synthesizing nutrients in its leaves by photosynthesis |
| animal | a living organism that feeds on organic matter, typically having specialized sense organs and nervous system and able to respond rapidly to stimuli. |
| cindarians | an aquatic invertebrate animal of the phylum Cnidaria, which comprises the coelenterates. |
| mollusks | an invertebrate of a large phylum which includes snails, slugs, mussels, and octopuses. They have a soft unsegmented body and live in aquatic or damp habitats, and most kinds have an external calcareous shell. |

| binomail nomenclature | using two words to name organisms |
| classify | to group organism based on similarities |

| kingdom | largest classification group |
| orders | group a class is divided into |
| class | largest group within a phylum |
| genus | a group of different and similar species |
| families | group orders are divided into |
| scientific name | identifies an organism by genus and species |
| dichotomous | key that helps identify organisms |
| species diversity | the great variety of organisms on earth |
| eukaryote | cells have a nuclear membrane |
| prokaryote | cells do not have a nuclear membrane |
| autotroph | organism cableable of photosynthesis |
| hetrotroph | organism is not cableable of photosynthesis |
| multicellular | made up of more than one cell |
| unicellular | made up of only one cell |
