Definition 1 of 30
First ask what kind of cell (eukaryotic or prokaryotic)? If single prokaryotic, then it's in Monera. If
single eukaryotic, then Protista. If several eukaryotic, then how does it get food? Eats dead
organisms, probably Fungi (unless a scavenger animal). Makes its own food, then either alga or plant
(specialized structures = plantae, no specialized structures = alga (protista))
Doesn't make its own food, consumer = animalia
*an organism is made up of several eukaryotic cells and makes its own food. it has no
specialized structures. to which kingdom does it belong?
*are all members of kingdom fungi made of many cells? if not, give an example of a single-
celled member of kingdom fungi.
*Help with kingdom classifying.
*an organism is made up of several eukaryotic cells and eats only dead organisms. to which
kingdom does it belong?
,Definition 2 of 30
Organisms that break down the dead remains of other organisms.
*If you're ever feeling lonely, just remember that you're never truly alone...

Term 5 of 30
*Why did people salt meat before refrigeration was available?
The salt draws out the moisture from the meat, creating a vacuum seal that keeps air out.
Salt acts as a cooling agent, lowering the temperature of the meat to prevent spoilage.
Salt is a natural antibiotic that kills all bacteria on contact, preserving the meat indefinitely.
The presence of salt reduces the growth and reproduction of bacteria.
