Define Prokaryote
Define Eukaryote
Prokaryote - a cell that lacks a nucleus
Eukaryote - a cell that contains a nucleus

This kingdom contains organism that are all multicellular heterotrophs that live in many diverse environments
Animal Kingdom

True/False: Species with similar evolutionary histories are not classified together.
True/ False: Two groups of organisms with similar characteristics did not descend from a common ancestor.
False ; False
200
process of change over time
evolution
200
Which group of organism would be the smallest group

What are the 3 domains of Life?
Archaea, Bacteria, Eukaray
300
This kingdom contains organisms that are all multicellular autotrophs
Plant kingdom
300
True/False: Bacteria are a domains of only unicellular prokaryotes that can be autotrophs or heterotrophs.
True/ False: Archaea are unicellular prokaryotes that live in harsh conditions that can be autotrophs or heterotrophs.
True ; True
300
the process by which individuals that are better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce
Natural Selection
300
Amphibians are more closely related to which other group 
Bony Fish
400
How are Archaea and Bacteria similar (2 similarities)?
How are Archaea and Bacteria different (2 differences)?
unicellular, prokaryotes, can be autotrophs or heterotrophs
chemical and structural differences
400
this kingdom contains organisms that are mostly multicellular with unicellular exceptions, heterotrophs that are considered decomposers
Fungi Kingdom
400
The process by which unrelated organisms evolve similar characteristics
convergent evolution
400
What are two methods scientists use to determine the evolutionary history of a species?
One way to to compare the structure of organisms. Scientists can also analyze DNA.
400
Did amphibians evolve from reptiles? 
No, Because amphibians and reptiles show to have evolved from a common ancestor not each other
500
Organisms are placed into domains based on what 3 things
cell type; ability to make food; number of cells
500
any organism that cannot be classified into the other 3 kingdoms; can be autotrophs or heterotrophs; can be unicellular or multicellular... belongs to what kingdom?
protist kingdom
500
a trait that the common ancestor of a group had an passed on to its descendants.
shared derived characteristic
500
How has the theory of evolution changed how biologists classify organisms?
Scientists now understand that certain organisms may be similar because they share a common ancestor and an evolutionary history
500
Are birds more closely related to mammals or reptiles? 
to reptiles - because the diagram shows that birds evolved from reptiles
