oldest form of life; prokaryotic; unicellular; extremely salty, hot, or acidic environments

organisms that break down dead organisms for food

sexual reproduction; meiosis- produces spores or seeds

eukaryotic; multicellular; land and water; heterotroph; consumer

made of many cells

made of one cell

sexual reproduction- meiosis by producing a fertilized egg

eukaryotic; most unicellular; watery environments; animal-like, plant-like, or fungi-like

reproduces asexually and sexually- produces spores

asexual reproduction; some use mitosis

organisms that make their own food

eukaryotic; multicellular; land and water; autotrophs; producers

organisms that consume other organisms for food

asexual reproduction- one cell splits into two cells through binary fission

organism with a backbone

organism without a backbone

largest bacteria kingdom; prokaryotic; unicellular; found everywhere there is O2 and H2O

a cell with a defined nucleus and defined organelles

a cell with no nucleus or defined organelles

organisms that eat other organisms for food

Eukaryotic; mostly multicellular; damp environments; heterotrophs; decomposers

organisms which make their own food using photosynthesis
