6.12a: understand that all organisms are composed of one or more cells;
6.12a: understand that all organisms are composed of one or more cells;
6.12b: recognize that the presence of a nucleus determines whether a cell is prokaryotic or eukaryotic;

organisms - a self contained living thing
cell - The smallest unit of a living organism; it is enclosed by a membrane and performs life functions.
nucleus - A membrane bound structure in a eukaryotic cell that contains DNA
organelle - A membrane bound structure in a cell that performs a specific function.
prokaryotic - cell with no visible nucleus
eukaryotic - cell with a defined nucleus and other cell structures
unicellular - one cell
multicellular - more than one cell
autotrophic - makes its own food via photosynthesis
heterotrophic - gets it nutrients from eating or consuming other organisms
kingdom - a large classification of living organisms (Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protists, Fungus, Plants, Animals)
communities - a group of individuals of different species that live in the same area
classification - to put into groups
domains - classifications even larger than kingdoms (Bacteria, Archaea, Eukarya)
