| Linnaeus | developed binomial nomenclature |
| homosapiens | the binomial nomenclature name for humans |
| domain | a classification over-riding kingdoms |
| archaea | domain of bacteria that may live in extreme conditions |
| bacteria | domain of organisms that have members that might make you sick |
| eukarya | organisms that have nuclei and organelles |
| archaebacteria | the domain archaea includes this kingdom |

| binomial nomenclature | a two name system of naming organisms |
| taxonomy | the science of naming organisms |
| kingdom | currently, we recognize 6 divisions of organisms at this level |
| class | phyla are divided into these, and orders are contained in this division |
| protista | kingdom that has great diversity of single celled, eukaryotic organisms |
| fungi | kingdom containing organisms with cell walls of chitin |
| animalia | kingdom of organisms that have no cell walls |
| plantae | kingdom or organisms that contains organisms that are multicellular, and have cell walls of cellulose |
| division | equivalent to phylum in animals, but the equivalent division of plants |
| cladistics | system of classification using shared and derived characteristics |
| shared characteristic | feature that all members of a group have in common |
| derived characteristic | feature that is present in the group under consideration |
| cladogram | diagram that illustrates shared and derived characteristics |
| heterotroph | organism that derives its energy from autotrophs or other heterotrophs |
| autotroph | traps energy to make its own food |
| consumer | gets its energy from ingesting other organisms |
| producer | makes food by chemo- or photosynthesis |
| pathogen | an organism that causes a disease |
| parasite | organism that benefits in a relationship when the host is harmed |
| chitin | the material that forms cell walls of fungi and is present in insect exoskeletons |
| cellulose | the material present in the cell walls of plants and photosynthetic protists |
| peptidoglycans | the components of cell walls of the domain Bacteria |
| unicellular | organism consisting of one cell |
| multicellular | organism consisting of more than one cell |
