Classification and Microscopic Creatures Vocab
1. Domain-Largest and least specific category of classification.
2. Bacteria-Domain containing cells that do not contain a
nucleus.
3. Archaea-Domain containing cells that do not contain a
nucleus that live in extreme environments like hot springs,
geysers, and salt flats.
4. Eukarya-Domain containing cells that contain a nucleus.
5. DNA-Genetic material inside a cell.
6. Nucleus-Protects the chromosomes that are composed of
DNA in a eukaryotic cell.
7. Bacilli-Rod shaped bacteria.
8. Cocci-Sphere shaped bacteria.
9. Spirilli-Spiral shaped bacteria.
10. Zooflagellates-Protists, such as an Euglena, that use a long
whiplike tail called a flagella which is used for movement.
11. Sarcodines-Are Protists, such as an Amoeba, that move by
using an extension of cytoplasm used for movement and for
capturing food called pseudopodia.
12. Ciliates-Protists, such as a Paramecium, that move by tiny
hair like projections called cilia.
13. Sporozoan-Protists that do not move like malaria that get
transported by mosquitos and are placed in a host when the
mosquito bites a human.
14. Heterotroph-Cannot make their own food, so they must
absorb or eat it.
15. Autotroph-Make food for their own use by the sun’s
energy.
16. Kingdoms-Compose the Domain Eukarya and are made up of
plantae, fungi, animalia, and Protista.
