Autotrophs &
Heterotrophs
Eukaryotes---Nucleus
Prokaryotes/no
nucleus
Placed into domains and kingdoms based on cell type, ability to make food,
number of cells in their bodies.
Nucleus
Dense area in cell containing nucleic
acids---Chemical instructions that
directs cells activities.
Domain Eukarya
Eukaryotic organism---cannot be classified as animal, plant
or fungus---most unicellular---few multicellular—some
autotrophs other heterotrophs.
Multicellular eukaryotes. All heterotrophs
Multicellular eukaryotes—most live on land----autotrophs--provide food for heterotrophs
Multicellular eukaryotes—live everywhere---heterotrophs
Homo sapiens
YES!!!
Eukaryotic Cells
