Term	Definition
Classify	To arrange into groups.
Scientific Name	To write the Scientific Name of an organism, write the Genus name and the species name. Always capitalize the Genus name.
Dichotomous Key	A set of yes/no questions of characteristics used to identify a species.
Archaea	One of the three domains. Prokaryotic cells that are extremophiles.
Taxon	One level of the taxonomy is a taxon.
Genus	Organisms in this group have similar genes.
Species	Members of this taxon level can breed together.
Eukaryotes	One of the three domains. Eukaryotes are type of cell that has an enclosed nucleus and organelles. Larger and more complex.
Extremophiles	Archaea that can live in extreme conditions - salty, hot, cold, acidic, alkaline.
Prokaryote	Prokaryotes are a type of cell that does not have an enclosed membrane or organelles. Smaller and simpler.
Kingdoms	The top four kingdoms of Eukaryotes are: 1) animals 2) plants 3) fungi 4) protoists
Bacteria	One of the three domains. Prokaryotic cells that are rod, sphere, or spiral shaped.
DOMAINS	The largest groups of living organisms. The three domains are: 1) eukaryotes 2)archaea 3)bacteria
KPCOFGS	Use these letters to remember the order of the taxonomy. Kingdom - Phylum - Class - Order - Family - Genus - Species
Taxonomy	The ranking of living organisms into groups according to their relationships.
