Q

Prokaryotes

A

Bacteria: most diverse and well-known group of single-celled organisms that lack a nucleus

Archaea: group of single-celled organisms that lack a nucleus but are more closely related to eukaryotes than to bacteria

Q

Eukaryotes

A

Protist: Diverse group of simple eukaryotes; varies consumers or producers

Fungi: Single-celled or multi-celled eukaryotic consumer

Breaks down material outside itself, then absorbs nutrients released from the breakdown; decomposed

Plants: Multi-celled, typically photosynthetic producer

Animals: Multi-celled consumer that develops through a series of stages and moves about during part or all of its life
