sometimes referred to as archaea
, ◉ domain Bacteria.
Answer: one of the three domains of life; contains prokaryotic cells
that differ from archaea because they have their own unique genetic,
biochemical, and physiological characteristics
◉ domain Euakrya.
Answer: one of the three domains of life, consisting of organisms
with eukaryotic cells; includes protists, fungi, plants, and animals
◉ ecosystem.
Answer: biological community together with the associated abiotic
environment; characterized by a flow of energy and a cycling of
inorganic nutrients
◉ emergent property.
Answer: a function or trait that appears as biological complexity
increases
