ANSWERS GRADED A+
⩥ multicellular. Answer: An organism made up of more than one cell.
⩥ asexual reproduction. Answer: Process by which a single parent
reproduces by itself
⩥ sexual reproduction. Answer: A reproductive process that involves
two parents that combine their genetic material to produce a new
organism, which differs from both parents
⩥ eukaryote. Answer: A cell that contains a nucleus and membrane
bound organelles
⩥ prokaryote. Answer: A unicellular organism that lacks a nucleus and
membrane bound organelles
⩥ Archaea. Answer: Domain of unicellular prokaryotes that have cell
walls that do not contain peptidoglycan. Many are extremophiles
,⩥ photosynthesis. Answer: the way most autotrophs get their
carbohydrates
⩥ extremophiles. Answer: Archaea that live in extreme environments.
⩥ Heterotroph. Answer: An organism that cannot make its own food.
⩥ Autotroph. Answer: An organism that makes its own food
(carbohydrates)
⩥ Animalia. Answer: kingdom of multicellular eukaryotic heterotrophs
whose cells do not have cell walls
⩥ Protista. Answer: Kingdom composed of eukaryotes that are not
classified as plants, animals, or fungi
⩥ Fungi. Answer: A kingdom made up of eukaryotic organisms that
have no means of movement, cell walls, reproduce by using spores, and
get food by breaking down substances in their surroundings and
absorbing the nutrients
⩥ Plantae. Answer: Kingdom of multicellular photosynthetic autotrophs
that have cell walls containing cellulose

the cells of plants and some other organisms.
⩥ cellulose. Answer: Carbohydrate component of plant cell walls.
⩥ Chitin. Answer: Polysaccharide found in arthropod exoskeletons and
fungal cell walls.
⩥ Hyphae. Answer: The branching, threadlike tubes that make up the
bodies of multicellular fungi
⩥ fruiting body. Answer: The reproductive structure of a fungus that
contains many hyphae and produces spores
⩥ Mycelium. Answer: densely branched network of the hyphae of a
fungus
⩥ lichen. Answer: An organism made of a fungus and either algae or
autotrophic bacteria that live together in a mutualistic relationship.
