Cards (66)

  • An organism is defined as an individual animal, plant, or single-celled life form.
  • Organisms are classified into groups.
  • Organisms in the same kingdom have similar characteristics.
  • An organism that manufactures its own food is referred to as an autotroph.
  • Most produce food through photosynthesis from the Sun’s energy, for example, green plants.
  • Some produce food through chemosynthesis from chemical reactions, for example, deep ocean communities.
  • An organism that cannot manufacture its own food and obtains food from eating other organisms is referred to as a heterotroph.
  • Examples of heterotrophs include all animals, protozoa (one-celled animals), fungi, and most bacteria.
  • Protists cannot be classified as animals, plants, or fungi and consist of a single cell.
  • Kingdoms of organisms include Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia.
  • Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia are all kingdoms of organisms.
  • Main groups of unicellular organisms include Bacteria, Archaea, Protists, Algae, and some are prokaryotic (no membrane-bound nucleus), and some are eukaryotic (membrane-bound nucleus).
  • Organisms can be classified into groups based on their characteristics.
  • Examples of complex organisms include all plants and animals, and some unicellular organisms like yeast, algae, and protozoa.
  • The rate of reproduction in asexual reproduction is fast.
  • A primitive organism is an organism that is simple and has no membrane-bound organelles.
  • A heterotroph is a microscopic organism with a membrane-bound nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, and is found in multicellular organisms.
  • Sexual reproduction is a process of cell division that consists of more than one cell, involves two parents, and the offspring are not genetically identical.
  • A unicellular organism is an organism that consists of a single cell.
  • Examples of primitive organisms include bacteria and cyanobacteria.
  • A complex organism is an organism that is advanced and has membrane-bound organelles.
  • The rate of reproduction in sexual reproduction is slow.
  • A multicellular organism is an organism that consists of more than one cell.
  • An autotroph is a microscopic organism with no membrane-bound nucleus and no membrane-bound organelles, and is unicellular and primitive.
  • Asexual reproduction is a process of cell division where offspring arise from a single cell or other method, inherit the genes of only one parent, and are identical to the parent.
  • True bacteria, prokaryotic, unicellular, autotrophs and heterotrophs, spherical or rod-shaped, found in soil, rocks, oceans, snow, and living organisms, belong to the Kingdom Eubacteria.
  • Vers does not include living things.
  • Carolus Linnaeus, also known as the "Father of Taxonomy", gave us the hierarchical system we now use, with three kingdoms: Animals, Plants, and Minerals, each divided into phylum and classes.
  • Archaebacteria, found in extreme environments such as hydrothermal vents, intestinal tracts/wetlands, and very salty areas, are different from other bacteria, prokaryotic, unicellular, autotrophs and heterotrophs, and can be classified as either eubacteria or euryarchaeota.
  • Aristotle is credited with creating the first classification system and only classified objects as plants or animals.
  • Scientists group things based on similarities, a process known as taxonomy.
  • Characteristics are used as a means to classify organisms into the six kingdoms.
  • Organisms that cannot be classified as animal, plant or fungus, are eukaryotes, most are unicellular, and examples include slime mold, protozoa, and primitive algae, belong to the Kingdom Protista.
  • Organisms can be classified into groups based on their characteristics.
  • Organisms in the same kingdom have similar characteristics.
  • An individual animal, plant, or single-celled life form is an organism.
  • Organisms that manufacture their own food are known as autotrophs.
  • Most organisms produce food through photosynthesis from the Sun’s energy, such as green plants.
  • Some organisms produce food through chemosynthesis from chemical reactions, such as deep ocean communities.
  • Organisms that cannot manufacture their own food and obtain food from eating other organisms are known as heterotrophs.
