1. Organization of Living Things
Kingdom Foldable

2. the process of grouping things based on their similarities.
Classification
the process of grouping things based on their similarities.

3. the scientific study of how living things are classified.
Taxonomy
the scientific study of how living things are classified.

4. When biologist classify organisms they look at the following characteristics:

5. organisms that are composed of only one cell.
Unicellular
organisms that are composed of only one cell.

6. organisms that are composed of many cells.
Multicellular
organisms that are composed of many cells.

7. Prokaryote
an organism whose cells do not have a nucleus and some other cell structures.

8. Eukaryote
an organism whose cells do have a nucleus and some other cell structures.

10. Heterotroph
an organism that cannot make its own food.

11. Autotroph
an organism that makes it own food.

12. Sexual Reproduction
the reproductive process that involves two parents who combine their genetic material to produce a new organism, which differs from both parents.

13. Asexual Reproduction
the reproductive process that involves only one parent and produces offspring that are identical to the parent.

16. Archaebacteria are found in extreme environments such as hot boiling water and thermal vents under conditions with no oxygen or highly acid environments.

17. Kingdom Eubacteria Unicellular Prokaryote Autotroph OR Heterotroph
Asexual Reproduction

18. Most eubacteria are helpful
Most eubacteria are helpful. Some produce vitamins and foods like yogurt. However, other eubacteria, Streptococci, can give you strep throat!

20. Kingdom Protists Unicellular OR Multicellular Eukaryote
Autotroph OR Heterotroph
Asexual Reproduction

21. Protists include all microscopic organisms that are not bacteria, not animals, not plants and not fungi.

22. Kingdom Fungi Unicellular or Multicellular Eukaryote Heterotroph
Asexual Reproduction

23. Fungi are organisms that biologists once confused with plants, however, unlike plants, fungi cannot make their own food. Most obtain their food from parts of plants that are decaying in the soil.

24. Kingdom Plant Multicellular Eukaryote Autotroph Asexual and
Sexual Reproduction

25. Without plants, life on Earth would not exist
Without plants, life on Earth would not exist! Plants feed almost all the heterotrophs (organisms that eat other organisms) on Earth. Wow!

26. Kingdom Animal
Multicellular
Eukaryote
Heterotroph
Sexual Reproduction

27. Members of the animal kingdom are found in the most diverse environments in the world. 1 million known species.
