Archaea Domain

Domain of single celled organisms that are prokaryotic; ancient bacteria that are found in extreme environments; one kingdom - Archaebacteria

Bacteria Domain

Domain of single celled organisms that are prokaryotic; typical bacteria that are found almost everywhere; one kingdom - Eubacteria

Eukarya Domain

Domain that includes organisms that are eukaryotes; includes four kingdoms - plant, animal, fungi, protist

Heterotroph

An organism that cannot make its own food and instead obtains its food and energy by consuming other substances

Autotroph

Organisms such as plants and algae, which can use energy from sunlight to create their food

Sexual reproduction

production of new living organisms (offspring) by combining genetic information from two parent organisms

Asexual reproduction

new living organisms (offspring) arise from a single organism, and inherit the genes of one parent organisms only

Unicellular

Made of a single cell

Multicellular

Made up of more than one cell.

Prokaryote

A unicellular organism that lacks a nucleus and membrane bound organelles

Eukaryote

A cell that contains a nucleus and membrane bound organelles
