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
