| Taxonomy | the branch of science concerned with classification, especially of organisms; systematics. |
| Monera | One of the 5 main kingdoms, includes bacteria and blue/green algae. Single celled without nucleus. |
| Kingdom | a scientific classification referring to a group of related phyla with similar features and distinctive characteristics. |
| Protist | single celled organisms. Amoeba, paramecium. |
| Species | The smallest rank of Classification. |
| Fungus | Don’t get energy from photosynthesis. Eg. Moulds, mushrooms, yeasts. (they can live in the dark) |
| Dichotomous key | It is a key that has two options at each intersection. |
| Plant | They get energy from photosynthesis. (Green) Eg. Ferns, Algae, moss, flowering plants, conifers. |
| Vertebrates | Living organisms with a backbone. |
| Animal | Eg, Birds, Reptiles, mammals, fish, amphibians. |
| Invertebrates | Living organisms without backbones. |
| Mammal | are covered in fur or hair, give birth to young and feed them with milk. They are warm blooded. |
| Exoskeleton | a rigid externa; covering for the body in some invertebrate animals, especially arthropods. |
| Reptile | Have dry scaly skin and breath through lungs. They are cold blooded. Examples: Snake, Tortoise. |
| Endoskeleton | an internal skeleton, such as the bony or cartilaginous skeleton of vertebrates. |
| Amphibian | A cold-blooded vertebrate animal of a class that comprises the frogs, toads, newts, salamanders, and caecilians. |
| Classification | The action or process of classifying something |
| Bird | A warm-blooded egg-laying vertebrate animal distinguished by the possession of feathers, wings, a beak, and typically by being able to fly |
| Multicellar | (of an organism or part) having or consisting of many cells. |
| Fish | a limbless cold-blooded vertebrate animal with gills and fins living wholly in water. |
| Unicellar | Having or consisting of only one cell. |
| Photosynthesis | the process through which plants use water and carbon dioxide to create their food, grow and release excess oxygen into the air. |
| Nucleus | the central and most important part of an object, movement, or group, forming the basis for its activity and growth. |
| Warm-blooded | relating to or denoting animals (chiefly mammals and birds) which maintain a constant body temperature |
| Vascular tissue in plants | tissue of higher plants consisting mainly of xylem and phloem and occurring as a continuous system throughout the plant: it conducts water, mineral salts, and synthesized food substances and provides mechanical support. |
| Cold-blooded | Cold blooded refers to the way in which the bodily temperature changes with the environment. |
| Xylem | A type of vascular tissue in terrestrial plants composed of tracheary elements, tracheids and wood vessels and of additional xylem fibers, and is primarily involved in transporting water and nutrient. |
| Pholem | Phloem consists of several different kinds of cells: sieve elements, parenchyma cells, sclereids, and fibers |
| Tracheophyte | A plant that has a system of vascular tissues for conducting water and nutrients through it. |
| Bryophyte | A small flowerless green plant of the division Bryophyta, which comprises the mosses and liverworts. |
