100
This characteristic of life means the process of producing new organisms of the same type.
What is Reproduction

This Kingdom contains the most complex organisms which all contain nervous systems. Most are motile.
What is Animalia

These are plant like Protista that are green and contain chlorophyll.
What is Algae
100
These organisms occupy the first trophic level. These organisms make their own food.
What are Producers
100
This Biome usually occurs in tropical, warm and wet climates. This biome contains a rich variety of plants and animals.
What is tropical rainforst
200
This characteristic means to change overtime
What is Evolve (Evolution)
200
All organisms in this Kingdom contain chlorophyll and conduct photosynthesis to make their own energy.
What is Plantae
200
These protista are free-moving and swim with small hair-like projections
What is Cilliates
200
These organisms occupy the second trophic level and feed off of Producers
What are Primary Consumers
200
This is a Treeless Biome with a very cold climate and short growing season.
What is Tundra
300
This characteristic of life means an organisms ability to maintain constant internal conditions.
What is Homeostasis
300
This kingdom contains organisms that are not motile, absorb nutrients and have cell walls that contain chitin.
What is Fungi
300
These protista move with jerky motions. They have one long whip-like tail.
What is Flagellates
300
These are NON-LIVING factors in an ecosystem
What is Abiotic Factor
300
This is a type of Biome that is warm year around. It receives VERY little precipitation and animals are usually nocturnal carnivores.
What is Hot/Dry Desert
400
This characteristic of life means organisms need to obtain and use energy.
What is Metabolism

This Kingdom contains single celled organisms that do not contain a nucleus.
What is Eubacteria

This is an extensive northern biome in moist and cold climates. It is dominated by coniferous trees and evergreens.
What is Boreal Forest (Taiga)
500
This term is one process of metabolism where complex substances are built up from simpler substances.
What is Anabolism
500
This Kingdom contains bacteria with internal membranes. These organisms are usually found in extreme environments
What is Archaebacteria
500
These protists are parasites that feed off of other organisms.
What is Sporozoans.
