Levels of Taxonomy
the highest and most inclusive taxonomic level, containing the largest number of species.
Domain
maintain balance in the ecosystem, pollinate plants, and spread seeds
Animalia
organisms that consume other organisms for energy
Heterotroph
A Tiger is a autotroph or heterotroph?
Heterotroph
The taxonomic level between Domain and Phylum
Kingdom
produce O2 through photosynthesis, provide shelter and energy, and filter air, water and soil
Plantae
reproduction that requires two parents whose offspring result with unique genetic combinations
Sexual Reproduction
A fern is an autotroph or heterotroph?
Autotroph
The taxonomic level between class and family
Order
decompose organic matter, recycle nutrients, and have symbiotic relationships with other organisms
Fungi
composed of more than one cell (often many cells) that specialize in different functions
multicellular
A fungi is an autotroph or heterotroph?
heterotrophic
Family
produce O2 through photosynthesis, decompose organic matter, and recycle nutrients
Protista
organisms whose cells have a membrane-bound nucleus
Eukaryotic
A Archaebacteria is an autotroph or heterotroph?
autotrophic or heterotrophic
the most exclusive and specific taxonomic level, containing only organism's with the same characteristics
Species
aid in digestion, decompose organic matter, produce O2 through photosynthesis, recycle nutrients, and convert nitrogen into usable forms
Eubacteria
single-celled organism whose cell lacks a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles
Prokaryotic
