|
prokaryotes |
a microscopic single-celled organism that has neither a distinct nucleus with a membrane nor other specialized organelles. Prokaryotes include the bacteria and cyanobacteria. |
|
|
animals |
any member of the kingdom Animalia, comprising multicellular organisms that have a well-defined shape and usually limited growth, can move voluntarily, find and crave food, have sensory and nervous systems that allow them to respond rapidly to stimuli: some classification schemes also include protozoa and certain other single-celled eukaryotes that have motility and animallike nutritional modes. |
|
|
fungi |
any of a diverse group of eukaryotic single-celled or multinucleate organisms that live by decomposing and absorbing the organic material in which they grow, comprising the mushrooms, molds, mildews, smuts, rusts, and yeasts, and classified in the kingdom |
|
|
eukarya |
Eukarya: eukaryotic organisms. Organisms with a nucleus as well as membrane-bound organelles. kingdoms associated are: Eukarya are the Plantae, Animalia, and Fungi kingdoms. amoebas and some seaweeds, classified as Eukarya. humans, are Eukarya. All of our own cells have a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. all complex organisms are eukaryotic. There is just no real way for prokaryotic organisms to grow into the complexity that eukaryotes have. |
|
|
plants |
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 using the green pigment chlorophyll. |
|
|
multicellular organism |
While single-celled organisms can't usually be seen without a microscope, you can see most multicelluar organisms with the naked eye. Plants and animals are multicellular — although they all, including humans, start as a single cell that reproduces into many. Multi means "many," and the Latin root of cellular is cellularis, "of little cells," from cella, "small room." |

characteristics of life |
reproducing with DNA :) cheya boiiii |
|
|
organelles |
A structure/part enclosed within its own membrane inside a cell, has a particular function. only in eukaryotic cells, not in prokaryotes(bacteria) The nucleus, the mitochondrion, the chloroplast, the Golgi apparatus, the lysosome, and the endoplasmic reticulum are all examples of organelles. Some organelles, mitochondria and chloroplasts-has own genome apart from nucleus. |
|
|
electron |
An electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle. It can be either free (not attached to any atom), or bound to the nucleus of an atom. Electrons in atoms exist in spherical shells of various radii, representing energy levels. The larger the spherical shell, the higher the energy contained in the electron. |
|
|
water containing heat |
The capability for a molecule to absorb heat energy is called heat capacity, which can be calculated by the equation shown in the figure . Water's high heat capacity is a property caused by hydrogen bonding among water molecules |
