Across
- 3. A taxonomic group that ranks below kingdom and above clas, grouping organisms based on major body plans or structures.
- 7. largest grouping in the classification of organisms, above kingdom
- 10. Classification system)" A way scientists organize living things into groups based on shared characteristics and relationships.
- 12. the only kingdom in the domain Bacteria, consists of diverse unicellular prokaryotes that have cell walls
- 13. group a category used to organize organisms in a classification system, such as kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, or species.
- 14. kingdom of multicellular eukaryotic heterotrophs whose cells do not have cell walls
- 16. A taxonomic grou that ranks below class and above family, grouping related families together
- 17. Wall A thick outer structure on the outside of a cell.
- 19. Nomenclature a naming system created by Carolus Linnaeus in which every organism is given a two part name
- 20. kingdom composed of eukaryotes that are not classified as plants, animals, or fungi
- 22. second largest grouping in organism classification, as in the animal kingdom
- 23. a group in tghe taxonomic hierarchy that ranks below phylum and above order. It groups organisms that share similar characteristics.
- 24. Organisms that make their own food through the process of photosynthesis.
- 25. the process of breaking down food into smaller parts that the body can use for energy, growth, and repair.
- 26. A taxonomic group that ranks below family and includes species that are very closely related and share common traits.

- 1. Systems
- 2. (Eukaryotic) have a nucleus in each cell that contains genetic material
- 4. related to the system scientists use to classify and organize living things
- 5. (Prokaryotic) organisms whose cells lack a nucleus and whose genetic material floats freely in the cell
- 6. A taxonomic group that ranks below order and above genus, grouping closely related organisms.
- 8. Classification System and
- 9. kingdom composed of heterotrophs; many obtain energy and nutrients from dead organic matter
- 11. kingdom of microscopic unicellular prokaryotes that have cell walls and reproduce asexually
- 15. Organisms that cannot make their own food. They must consume (eat) other organisms
- 18. Linnaeus the scientist that developed the classification system we use today
- 21. kingdom of multicellular photosynthetic autotrophs that have cell walls
