Multicellular, eukaryotic organisms that contain Amphibians, Reptiles, etc.
What is Animalia
100
An organism that thrives in physically or geochemically extreme conditions that are detrimental to most life on earth.
What are Extremophiles
100
Spherical or roughly spherical bacterium
What is coccus
100
a group of living organisms consisting of similar individuals capable of exchanging genes or interbreeding. The species is the principal natural taxonomic unit.
What is Species
100
an organism that cannot fix carbon from inorganic sources but uses organic carbon for growth.
What is Heterotroph
200
Eukaryotic organisms that includes unicellular organisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as multicellular organisms that produce familiar fruiting forms known as mushrooms.
What is Fungi
200
An organism that thrives at relatively high temperatures. Suggested to be among the earliest bacteria.
What are Thermophiles
200
Rod shaped bacterium
What is Bacillus
200
one of the eight major taxonomic ranks; it is classified between order and genus
What is Family
200
An organism that produces complex organic compounds from simple substances present in its surroundings, generally using energy from light or inorganic chemical reactions.
The second highest taxonomic rank that is composed of smaller groups called phyla.
What is Kingdom
300
capable of synthesizing their own food from inorganic substances using light as an energy source.
What is photoautotroph
400
Eukaryotic organisms that cannot be classified as a plan, animal, or fungus. They are mostly unicellular, but some may be multi-cellular.
What is Protista
400
Microorganisms that produce methane as a metabolic byproduct in anoxic conditions
What are Methanogens
400
Twisted; in the form of a twisted chain
What is strepto-
400
The highest taxonomic rank of organisms, there are three of these.
What is Domain
400
organisms that obtain energy by the oxidation of electron donors in their environments.
What is Chemoautotroph
500
Referred to as true bacteria. They are organisms that are complex yet single-celled. Example: Streptococci, the bacterium for strep throat.
What is Eubacteria
500
Domain and kingdom of single-celled microorganisms that are prokaryotic.
What is Archaea
500
Appear round, and in the form of grape-like clusters
What is staphylo-
500
taxonomic category ranking used in biological classification that is below a family and above a species level, and includes group(s) of species that are structurally similar or phylogenetically related.
What is Genus
500
organisms that use light for energy, but cannot use carbon dioxide as their sole carbon source.
